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.

As one question was exceptionally hard last week, there is no QI-style question [where the answer is not what most people assume] this week, although a couple of questions may prove tricky.

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.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thanks @Marjo - look forward to your pm with eight answers later today

Thanks @jonsie - pm with your eight answers received

[jonsie]

And I now realise the connection between 2 and 4 referred to by @pgn 

...had to think about it though 

[MI5]

I see the a slightly tenuous connection (numbers) but don't think it's intentional.....

[jonsie]

I don't know, @Mi-Amigo is very sneaky.....

[Martin-O2]

I'll get my answers over to you shortly @Mi-Amigo!

[jonsie]

Good luck everyone 👍

[Cleoriff]

Mmmmm, as I still can't see that link @pgn mentioned (naughty boy) and will be on my way to Brean when the answers are given, I'll just say best of luck to you all
