I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in today`s White Room Quiz, which will be

8 questions with two questions on each of these categories

-  PEOPLE   MOVIES   ART   GAMES

and will be up on a separate thread shortly.

Thank you everyone for making the WRQ fun.

[Cleoriff]

Well that just shows a guess can be 'valuable' @Mi-Amigo 😂

I had no idea of Q7 re Charles Dickens, so I guessed at Pickwick Papers. Lucky me. 😂

[RafaC]

Yeah, I thought that if I'd be getting a star, it'd have been by chance. Turns out I didn't 🤣

Learned a lot though! Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff and @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

I thought the Nature bird question and the Dickens were the tricky ones this time.

I hope you, and everyone else, likes the categories and some, if not all, of the questions in todays WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

[MI5]

Thanks again @Mi-Amigo 

[TallTrees]
