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.

 

With, what I have tried to make to be a fair balance of easier and trickier questions, I hope those who have taken part in a previous White Room Thursday Quiz will take part, and that new members, and those who have not previously played, will join in.

 

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

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

Thank you everyone for your interest.

I hope everyone enjoys this edition of the White Room Thursday Quiz.

Thanks @Cleoriff 

Good to know that you don`t think this week`s is as tough as the Love Week Quiz. Hopefully that might encourage "regulars" and others to have a go this time...

 

PMs are working OK, so shouldn`t be a problem for anyone posting their answers to me tomorrow.
