Welcome to
There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.
As last Wednesday`s quiz was the White Room Regulars` Choice Quiz, I thought it might be fun to have a follow-up.
Over the weekend, I researched and found eight questions - with one question on each category which either did not receive enough points to be in last Wed`s WRQ or received no votes at all - so today`s WRQ will one question on each of these categories
MUSIC GEOGRAPHY NATURE HISTORY PLACES TV GAMES LITERATURE
The White Room Quiz is open to all members.
Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo - with their answers between 12 noon today [Monday] and 11.59pm tomorrow [Tuesday]
I hope our regular quizzers
