Not bad @Mi-Amigo

I know quite a few of these ~ blessings again this time no TV Movies or C.Games!

Thank you @Cleoriff and @TallTrees

Yes, a couple of head scratchers this time - one question [and I`m not saying which] is rated "difficult"

but at least there is no Morse Code question, nor TV, Movies or Computer Games questions 😁

To all our regular quizzers

In previous "Odd Question" WRQs, most - in not all - quizzers have got a Thinker, can you do it again with this White Room Quiz ?

Good luck, everyone.
