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.
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 People`s Choice edition of the White Room Thursday Quiz.

When I announced the results of the votes for the People`s Quiz, I did say that one category missed out by one vote from being included in this quiz.
That category was SPACE.
As some of the "regulars" may have felt they missed out on not having one their preferred categories in the quiz, I am going to include a question in the SPACE category in next week`s quiz.
The eight categories for next week`s normal WHITE ROOM QUIZ will be:
SPACE; CHEMISTRY; FILMS; GAMES; HISTORY; LITERATURE; PLACES; STRUCTURES
I hope as many of you as possible, as well as any new members and those who have not played before, will take part. The questions will be posted - as usual - on Wednesday with answers pm`d to me on Thursday.

Thanks for your kind words @pgn
The trees certainly caught everyone out...
Without checking every game, I think this is the first time that one question has caught out every player.
That said, I wonder if it`ll come up in The Chase or Jon Snow`s Hardest Question and the experts will try and beat you (as you have beaten them)

All of them caught me out @Mi-Amigo 
I was sure I got the gelatin question right. Fish bladders! I wonder where they use that. 
I actually almost chose the space category but last minute replaced it with the food category instead. So I'm excited to see what space question we'll get next time. 
I don't know much about it but space is always interesting!!
