Well done everyone, especially those who got the complete set

Thank you for the Quiz @Mi-Amigo

It is a lot of work putting that together.

I learnt Finland did the Olympics 1952 I would never have believed that!

I thought of Europe after the 39/45 war and got no-where.

From posts and pms, it seems that most of those taking part guessed [and in most cases got right] one or more of the answers.

I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will take part in today`s White Room Quiz, which will be 8 questions - with two questions on each of these categories

HISTORY NATURE LITERATURE MUSIC

If I remember correctly @TallTrees Finland combined the summer and winter Olympics that year.

I'm amazed my guess for the Rugby question was correct. All I knew was there are15 players ,so as he is at the 'back', maybe he's number 15

Sometimes a guess pays off. (and sometimes it doesn't) lol

Hahaha I will don't worry @Cleoriff I think he started ignoring my tags though

Although I might actually take more pleasure in everyone adapting their answers to "Lukas" instead of a random guess Well done @gmarkj that made my day already

Thank you @pgn @TallTrees @MI5 @TheresaV @Cleoriff for your comments and well done on your awards

As you said @TallTrees the questions are only easy if you know the answer; and as @Cleoriff said, sometimes a guess pays off.

I think you might be in trouble @TheresaV - as you might be held responsible after your answers in the last quiz

I hope everyone likes the categories - and at least some of the questions - in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread
