Thanks Mi-Amigo, my answers have been submitted... I wanted to get in early while I remembered. Although my performance is likely to be akin to the below gif...

@Comben mine as well, albeit I think I'm right about the tennis one 😂

PM is on its way @Mi-Amigo

Comben — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 11:57:34 GMT

Glad you agree Rafa, ironically I also think I've got the tennis one right but the other questions were tough today in my opinion! I guessed at most of them. 😬

Re: White Room Quiz Mon 17 Oct 2022

RafaC — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 11:59:33 GMT

Me too @Comben and I've only managed to come up with guesses for half of them 😅
