Thank you @MI5 and @Cleoriff for your posts.

There are a couple of trickier questions this time.

Not all the questions are taken from my quiz books but none of those that are were rated "difficult".

I tried to find a good mix of categories, questions, and levels of difficulty.

Good luck with your answers.

Hmm.... a bit rough, this one, @Mi-Amigo

Re: White Room Quiz Wed 03 Mar 2021

Mi-Amigo — Wed, 03 Mar 2021 10:37:58 GMT

Love the gif @pgn

Not sure if you meant "a bit rough" or "a bit tough" this time

Good luck.

Definitely rough rather than tough, @Mi-Amigo - and good to see you back on form 👍

Suitably vague, as it relates to a question, after a fashion, @Mi-Amigo 🤣
