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.

Bit different @Mi-Amigo thank you.

Enjoyed it although it involved a couple of lucky guesses on my part.

Well done all, lot of good results today. 👍

[Cleoriff]

Great to see so many silver thinkers @Mi-Amigo 

Well done everyone. Made a nice change I thought 😎

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM and @Cleoriff 

Pleased you liked the Either/Or Quiz and well done on your awards.

There will definitely be another Either/Or WRQ at some time in the not too distant future.

In the meantime, I hope you, and everyone else, likes some, if not all, of the questions in today`s WRQ which is one of the popular "Odd Questions" editions and is now up on a separate thread. 

[MI5]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo 

I have to admit to a couple of guesses too but good fun.

[RafaC]

Great twist to the quiz @Mi-Amigo, enjoyed it a lot!
Can't believe I got that last question wrong though. Well, you live, you learn.

Well done everyone!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @MI5 and @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - shows that guesses can pay off 😁

[gmarkj]

Very happy with that. Most I was fairly confident on but there were some that were a coin toss!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @gmarkj 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker
