Moderately confident

Cleoriff — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 08:45:18 GMT

I'm ok (I think) except for the Physics question. There are people I could ask but as that's not allowed I won't be doing that! Pfffttt!

There are still some things that stick in my head from my mechanical engineering college course and I assume it is mechanical horsepower we are referring to @mi_Amigo ?

Hands up those who don`t think WRQ is fun?

Re: White Room Quiz - Mon 13 July 2020

Cleoriff — Mon, 13 Jul 2020 10:39:18 GMT

I always think it's fun, whether i know all the questions or not.

For instance, unless you know about biology, first aid or a fan of quizzes, not many will know the biology question. (whereas it's pretty easy for me).

There is always something for everyone.

Thank you for your comment @Cleoriff

I think you summed up the White Room Quiz when you said

"There is always something for everyone. "

that has always been my intention and have tried to give a mix of subjects from which the questions are chosen and to give different levels of difficulty with the questions - but, of course, there will always be subjects and questions which some will love and find easy and other questions which some will hate and find really hard.
