The White Room Thursday Quiz - 12 Mar 2020

Mi-Amigo — Wed, 11 Mar 2020 08:32:09 GMT

WELCOME to

Each week, there are EIGHT questions, from a range of categories.

As promised, one question is in the Space category, which missed out by one vote from being in the People`s Choice Quiz last week

THIS WEEK`S EIGHT QUESTIONS

Q1 [Space]: Where, on the Moon, was the lunar module of Apollo 13 scheduled to land ?

Q2 [Chemistry]: Which element has the chemical symbol B ?

Q3 [Film/Movies]: Who won the Oscar for Best Actress four times - between 1930s and 1980s ?

Q4 [Games]: Which letter tile in the game Scrabble is the only one worth 5 points ?

Q5 [History]: Who was the British monarch from 1727 to 1760 ?

Q6 [Literature]: Which well-known novel has the opening line

"Christmas won`t be Christmas without any present", grumbled Jo, lying on the rug

Q7 [Places]: What is the State capital of New York State, in the USA ?

Q8 [Structures]: Where [city and country] is the Temple of the Golden Pavillion ?

The White Room Thursday Quiz will be open to all members of the Community.

Those who want to take part will need to pm [private message] me [Mi-Amigo] with their answers between 00.01 [one minute after midnight] and 23.59 [11.59pm] on Thursday 12 March 2020.

Please do not post your answers on the thread.

The answers - and the results for each player taking part - will be posted on Friday morning.

Each member will be awarded for each correct answer. In addition, each member who gives

EIGHT correct answers SIX correct answers FOUR correct answers

will be awarded will be awarded will be awarded

SILVER THINKER BRONZE THINKER RED THINKER

THE RULES

Each member must pm [private message] their answers to me [Mi-Amigo] between 00.01 [one minute after midnight] and 23.59 [11.59pm] tomorrow - on Thursday 12 March 2020.

No member is to post any answer on the thread.

Any answer received before 00.01 on Thursday and/or after 23.59 [11.59pm] on Thursday will be declared void.

No googling, wiki, youtube search for answers.

As one question was exceptionally hard last week, there is no QI-style question [where the answer is not what most people assume] this week, although a couple of questions may prove tricky.

The White Room Thursday Quizz is open to all members.

I hope new members, who have recently joined the Community, and members who have not taken part before, will join the "regulars" with this week`s quiz.

Please feel free to post any comments on the questions - but not the answers - on this thread.

If you have any questions about the quiz, please ask and I will reply here.

Thank you everyone for your interest and for making the quiz so popular.

I hope everyone enjoys this week`s White Room Thursday Quiz.

Thanks @Cleoriff for your comment.

That is what I hoped with this week`s quiz - a couple of questions which are not brain-scramblers but need a bit of thought [and, possibly, a good memory?]

Looking forward to the pm with your answers tomorrow. Good luck.

Thanks @MI5

Although there might be a couple [?] of questions you`re not so keen on, I`m sure you`ll give them a good shot and look forward to what answers you give in your pm tomorrow. Good luck,

I think I know 6, the other two will be in guesswork territory.

@jonsie

You know the answers to six? That`s really good. As for the two guesses, you might be right...

Looking forward to seeing pm with your answers tomorrow...

Hmm. This one hops about a bit. Need time to cogitate, I wonder if 2 and 4 are intertwined? 🤔

Rumour has it, TNS is being converted to a temporary isolation zone - at least 8 steps up or down between people and only one person on a stair. I joke not - local cinema is sitting couples 3 seats apart, families too... Perhaps this is some form of contraception plan...? 🤔

Gonna need a longer staircase 🤣
