I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz; and will join in Monday`s WRQ quiz, which will be

8 questions with two questions on each of these categories

  SCIENCE   WORDS   MUSIC   GAMES

I already had the questions prepared before taken ill. I think there is a fair balance with some "easier" questions, and a couple of "trickier" questions; but hopefully you`ll find it fun.

Thank you everyone for taking part and making the WRQ fun.
