White Room Quiz Mon 16 Jan 2023

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

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

The last three White Room Quizzes have been the WRQ 3 three-part A to Z Quiz.

In the Advanced Notice of these quizzes one of our regular quizzers wrote

"Card has been marked @Mi-Amigo  - be a laugh to get 3 x X qs and 3 x Q qs one day"

and another regular quizzer added 

"we need @Mi-Amigo to do a WRQ round where all the questions use either an X's or Q's"

Be careful what you wish for...  

Today`s WRQ is 8 questions - with two questions on each of four of categories -

  HISTORY = one Q, one X question;  MOVIES = one Q, one X question; GAMES = one Q, one X question

plus EVENTS = two questions on New Years Honours [not Q or X questions]

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

03.00am Wednesday morning.

Please do not post your answers on the thread.

I hope our regular quizzers

PM sent @Mi-Amigo.
I absolutely love the fact you have done this very special WRQ and a huge congratulations for putting it together so quickly. Very much a case of "be careful what you wish for" though because I don't think I'm going to do well this time, however I was over the moon to see this theme and it's a very fitting end to the alphabet WRQ's.

Thanks again for twisting it up with community driven feedback and well done for making the WRQ theme at short notice! Maybe next time I'll mention the fact the quiz needs to be easier and see if that works. 😅
