Good quiz again @Mi-Amigo thank you. 👍

Happy with a Bronze, well done everyone else.

[RafaC]

Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo that was a tough one for me, and yet I enjoyed it

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks

[Cleoriff]

Great game @Mi-Amigo. Well done everyone x

[anticpated]

Off the top of my head I could get a few but surely as we have the Internet; the answers must be accessible. How do you moderate a thing like this?

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM  @MI5  @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards

Thank you @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz, even though you didn`t get a star this time.

I think that most of the regular quizzers will tell you that everyone has their least favourite subjects, with which they struggle with the answers and sometime make a guess which might pay off. But the WRQ is meant to be fun, so as long as you, and everyone else, enjoys it that`s the main thing. 

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

Good luck.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @anticpated for your post.

You are most welcome to join in and take part in the White Room Quiz.

As to your comments about the answers being available on the internet, you will notice in the rules that online searches [inc using google, wiki, youtube] are not allowed. The quizzers are aware of this and abide by the rules and pm me with their answers, and everyone is happy with this.

I hope you`ll consider having a look at today`s WRQ and if you wish to take part you`ll pm me [please don`t post any answers on the thread] any time after 12 noon.

Thanks for your interest in the quiz.
