The White Room Thursday Quiz will be open to all members of the Community.

THE RULES

Each member must pm [private message] their answers to me [Mi-Amigo] between 00.01 [one minute after midnight] and 23.59 [11.59pm] tomorrow - on Thursday 12 March 2020.

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.

@Martin-O2

thanks - pm with your eight answers received

and as most of the regulars have pm`d me their answers, I think I should just say there is no connection between Q2 and Q4 and none was intended... I`ve no idea what @pgn was suggesting and can`t ask because he`s putting handwashing facilities in TNS...

"which Sesame Street character are you?"

I`m only joking
