White Room Quiz - Mon 27 July 2020

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

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

Each White Room Quiz will have eight questions - with two questions from four categories. 

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

and any member, who has taken part in the past or has never taken part, and new members

will join in with today`s White Room Quiz.

I hope everyone likes some, if not all, the questions in this quiz

Today`s WRQ questions are two questions from each of these cateories

    WORDS  MOVIES  GAMES

and two ODD questions - one on FLAGS and one on CODES

Please note: there is no QI-style question [where the answer is not what most people think] this time.

Also, as some found some of the recent questions harder, four of the eight questions are classed as

"easier" in the quiz books I consulted in compiling this quiz.

Q2 [MOVIES - 1] Which official Bond film was the first to feature Timothy Dalton as James Bond ?

Thanks @Cleoriff for your comments...

Good luck, everyone.
