No member is to post any answer on the thread.

Any answer received before 00.01 on Thursday and/or after 23.59 [11.59pm] on Thursday will be declared void.

No googling, wiki, youtube search for answers.

 

I have tried to give a balance between difficult and easier questions this week.

 

The White Room Thursday Quizz is open to all members.

I hope new members, who have recently joined the Community, and members who have not taken part before, will join the "regulars" with this week`s quiz. 

 

Please feel free to post any comments on the questions - but not the answers - on this thread.

If you have any questions about the quiz, please ask and I will reply here.

 

Thank you everyone for your interest and for making the quiz so popular.

I hope everyone enjoys this week`s White Room Thursday Quiz.

Have fun with the oddest questions ever on WRQ...

Random guesses submitted for me and I'll be surprised if I got half correct.

Pretty strong statement to make!!

I never cheat and was pretty confident about one of the most difficult ones due to my training as a cadet nurse in 1959/60. Added to the fact it was one of the questions asked on our State final paper. (If that's the one you are referring to)

I know that. I also object to the fact that you said people may have cheated if they get all 8 correct.

Anyway world problems they ain't... so let's just wait and see!!

I am and still don't think accusations of cheating should be levelled at anyone.

No, because if I get it right I'll be wondering if everyone thinks I'm a cheat.. 

 

What am I saying.. if I get any right I could be accused of cheating!

Don't turn this on me with your stupid 'Methinks the lady doth protest too much'. You said it. Not me.

I am standing up for EVERYONE who does this damn quiz.

Personally I feel if anyone gets 8 correct then you will have made others think they have been cheating.

That's all. You have no idea of peoples life and experience skills.
