I always think it's fun, whether i know all the questions or not.

For instance, unless you know about biology, first aid or a fan of quizzes, not many will know the biology question. (whereas it's pretty easy for me).

There is always something for everyone. rofl

Thank you for your comment @Cleoriff 

I think you summed up the White Room Quiz when you said

 

"There is always something for everyone. rofl"

 

that has always been my intention and have tried to give a mix of subjects from which the questions are chosen and to give different levels of difficulty with the questions - but, of course, there will always be subjects and questions which some will love and find easy and other questions which some will hate and find really hard.
