My answers are in your inbox @Mi-Amigo. As usual, thank you for organising. 👍

I'm not sure if there's a typographical error or a trick question in that set of questions ? ❓

Re: White Room Quiz Wed 01 May 2024

MI5 — Wed, 01 May 2024 18:35:23 GMT

I believe it's a typo.

I did ask when submitting my answers.

I have resubmitted my answers @Mi-Amigo given the deficiency in the original question 4. Thank you for confirming that it was intended to be 2021. 👍

Is your internet now restored to good health ? ❓

Re: White Room Quiz Wed 01 May 2024

Mi-Amigo — Thu, 02 May 2024 17:32:43 GMT

Thanks @Oxonian

Resubmitted pm received.

Internet connection now varies during day - sometimes full/good so no problems, other times very poor and can`t get on internet. Problem is time of poor/no connection varies from day to day !!

Having unpredictable internet is nearly as bad as having no internet at all @Mi-Amigo.
