Next week`s White Room Quiz will not be as difficult - with what I hope everyone will think is a good mix of questions   

[Marjo]

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo ! Happy with my one star. The only reason I knew that one was because I was in San Francisco and remember seeing a love statue there. Looking forward to next week's quiz and hoping I get some time to take part in that one too.

[jonsie]

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo , some easy, some not so easy and a couple of stinkers!

Well done everyone who joined in 

[pgn]

I enjoyed that, @Mi-Amigo - especially some of the comments 🤐🤣

[Anonymous]

I love being awarded The Red Thinker 

My best effort yet

I don't think I'm much of a romantic

Yes, Cleoriff some of the answers made me laugh too

Thank you @Mi-Amigo for compiling the quiz

@Marjo 

Thank you for your comment. I hope you can join in with the next one and don`t find it so difficult.

@jonsie 

Thanks for your comments. You were right about the questions - a couple were stinkers but you did well with your replies. As I said, I hope the next one is a little easier

@pgn 

Thank you for your comment. Err a couple of your answers did include a naughty answer which I did find amusing  

@Anonymous 

Thank you for your comments. Even though this was a much tougher quiz, as you said, it is your best result and you did get an award. Hopefully you might find next week`s a little easier... 

All in all, it is all the players who take part which make the quizzes fun - and may that continue.

Thank you.
