White Room Quiz Mon 13 June 2022 - Either/Or edition

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

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

Today`s White Room Quiz is eight questions - with one questions on each of these categories

- HISTORY  PEOPLE  GEOGRAPHY  NATURE  LITERATURE  MUSIC  MOVIES  SPORT -

Each question includes two options - one is correct; one is wrong [bit like 50-50 on TV`s "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"] so, instead of passing you have the chance of getting that tricky question right.

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

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

Please do not post your answers on the thread.
