Thank you @Anonymous for your good wishes for the 150th White Room Quiz.

@TheresaV

mmm although you may have your fingers crossed for @LukasB to get a Bronze Thinker, I have a sneaky feeling that you might hope to get a Silver or Gold Thinker this time

Re: The 150th White Room Quiz

TheresaV — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 09:12:58 GMT

I am definitely not @Mi-Amigo I have had a look at the questions and I think maybe even a Bronze Thinker might be a stretch but I could get there with a bit of luck and a few guesses

One of those quizzes @Mi-Amigo where you take a first look and think that's ok...then a 2nd look and think...MMmmm..my god, will my heat frazzled brain cope?

Great choice of questions, even though I don't like them all. Lol

Thank you @TheresaV

I hope your "guesses" pay off.

Thank you @Cleoriff

Pleased you think it`s a great choice of questions...

You are right. As it is the 150th WRQ, I tried to come up with some questions which might, at first, seem easy but, in fact, need a bit of thinking about and, with there being 10 questions, thought that there might some questions which some might not like.

Good luck and hope the quiz doesn`t add to the heat-induced brain frazzle.

Thank you so much @MI5 for raising this.

Q3 should read - Mount Elbert is the highest point in which US State ? NOT Mount Elbe.

Apologies to everyone.

I will tag @TheresaV and ask her if she can correct this in the original list of questions.
