OK Who let @Cleoriff loose with these questions??

Is this the result of too many voddies in Virtual Lounge last night celebrating 7 years on the Community?

I know it is "White Room Quiz - The Revenge" - but it ain`t "burn Mi-Amigo`s little grey cells"

At first glance, there are 5/6 questions which I`m fairly confident I know the answers; but that said, there are some which I`ve got no idea and am gonna have to make wild guesses when the time comes... Thankfully I have got time to contemplate and have a good think - and as I promised I will not use any reference book, nor search google, wiki, youtube or internet sites...

Good luck to all those who are joining in...

Brilliant quiz with great questions. Thanks @Cleoriff

@Mi-AmigoThe questions were set up and stored in One Note well before the voddie fest yesterday

Thanks @Cleoriff

That doesn`t make it any better... In fact, it makes it worse as the questions were set up in the cold light of day...
