No member is to post any answer on the thread.

No googling, wiki, youtube search for answers.

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

As usual, there is one QI-style question [where the answer is not what most people think] and one is "tricky" [but not impossible like the infamous "tree question"].

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.
