Welcome to

white-room-quiz2.png

 

There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.

Each White Room Quiz will have eight questions - with two questions from four categories. 

 

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo - with their answers between 12 noon today [Monday] and 11.59pm tomorrow [Tuesday]

 

I hope our regular quizzers

    @Cleoriff  @pgn  @jonsie  @MI5  @gmarkj  @WispaRed7 

 

 O2 Community managers @Marjo @LukasB  @Martin-O2 and O2 Guru @O2Karl 

 

and any member, who has taken part in the past or has never taken part, and any new members

will join in with today`s White Room Quiz.

 

Over the weekend, I have selected eight questions - with questions from each of these cateories

 

    PLACES   NATURE   TV    FOOD & DRINK

 

Please note: there is no QI-style question in which the answer is not what most people think.

As three questions in the last White Room Quiz were rated as difficult, I hope everyone finds today`s questions a little easier.

 

TODAY`S EIGHT QUESTIONS

 

Q1 [PLACES - 1] In which county in England are the Tarr Steps, reputedly the oldest bridge in England ?   

      

Q2 [NATURE - 1]  What type of animal is a Suffolk punch ?

 

Q3 [TV - 1] In the US TV comedy "Friends" what was the name of the coffee shop where the friends used to meet ?

 

Q4 [FOOD & DRINK - 1] Which fruit was first grown in England at Dorney Court, Buckinghamshire for King James I ?

 

Q5 [PLACES - 2] Which is the only cathedral in England with three spires ? 

 

Q6 [NATURE - 2] What type of tree was introduced into England by Alexander Pope ?

 

Q7 [TV - 2]  In the US TV comedy "The Big Bang Theory" what was the name of Leonard`s mother ?

                      [character`s name not the name of the actress]

 

Q8 [FOOD & DRINK - 2] In which town in England was Marmite first produced ?

 

The White Room Quiz is open to all members of the Community.
