A decent collection of thinkers this time, well done all, and thanks for not going too hard in the Gold Thinker quiz after the mind-mangling Brain Teaser earlier in the week, @Mi-Amigo 👍🏼

Re: White Room Quiz Gold Thinker ed - Wed 29 Oct 2025

Cleoriff — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 08:03:35 GMT

Surprised as 1 of those was a guess. Luckily it wasn't Yard Shut 😂🤣

Well done everyone. Thanks @Mi-Amigo xxx

TallTrees — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 08:06:56 GMT

Thanks @Mi-Amigo

Better than expected.

No one knew Melania's maiden name 🙄

Couldn't even make it up!

Age of Charles Dance, even if guessed would have got it wrong 😅

Hot flame 🔥 guessed.. so wrong!

Q4 gobbledygook .. 🤔

Q9 A very fancy word for a very unusual collector .. couldn't make that up!

OR did you make it up 😯

What we need on our teatime team is a Mastermind .. checking around 😂

Thank you @pgn @Cleoriff @TallTrees @MI5 @jonsie

Well done on your awards.

@Cleoriff - sometimes a guess pays off 🤔

@TallTrees - I honestly didn`t make up the word for Q9, and good luck in your search for a Mastermind to join the tea-time donut-eaters 😀 😋
