Great Scott, a mini pig. Who'd've thought?
That was one I had never heard of before, nor can I find what pig it is, unless it's a general term, like a teacup pig, a misnomer too as far as I can see.
Now what joys does today's quiz bring....
PS. Thanks for the quiz just finished, and the next just starting, @Mi-Amigo!

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone!

I put Hugh Jackman first and then changed it to Robert Downey Jr... I should have stuck to the first guess but I got warewolf mental images from thinking about Hugh Jackman and thought it was another movie.

Mi-Amigo · ‎18-11-2020

Thank you @pgn @MI5 @LukasB @Marjo

Pleased you enjoyed this quiz.

Well done on your awards in the quiz. Sorry you missed out on some questions.

The physics question was not from a book but one I came up with having read a science book over the weekend. I thought this would be one of the hardest physics questions we`ve had, so well done all those who got it right. That said, the Queen song caught a few out this time. There will be another "lyrics" question [with different band] in a future White Room Quiz.

I hope everyone likes the categories and questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.

I was lucky with the vmi vmi pig @pgn as it was a quiz question some years ago. I can't find a picture of it though. If you type in VMI into google it shows you the Virginia, Military Institute

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo . Congrats to everyone. Looking forward to the new one today.
