White Room Quiz Mon 18 Jan 2021 - Page 3

Mi-Amigo · ‎18-01-2021

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]

Thank you @LukasB @TheresaV @Cleoriff for your kind comments.

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

Congrats @Cleoriff on getting the Silver Thinker; and well done @LukasB and @TheresaV - you both only just missed out on a Red Thinker - as a couple of questions in this quiz were rated "difficult".

Hope you all like the categories and questions in today`s WRQ which is now up on a separate thread.
