Welcome to

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

Today`s White Room Quiz is an "Odd Questions" edition. Instead of eight questions with two questions from each of four categories, there are eight questions with one question on each of these subjects.

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

Does that mean they’re not making 2p any more?

2p with the Prince of Wales feathers are still in circulation. The design was changed to the one on current 2p coins.

Well done all, and I thought the Prince of Wales's Feathers were probably equally valid in my gif, or perhaps not.

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo, another good'un, even if @LukasB tied @Martin-O2's hands to the chair to guarantee a spot above him on the leader board 🤣
Off to take a gleek at today's questions - not keen on Sports qs generally, ho-hum.

Thank you @pgn

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on getting a Silver Thinker.

You could be right about @LukasB as @Martin-O2 didn`t take part in this quiz.

Hope you like today`s questions in WRQ whch is now up on separate thread.

Ooh I can't believe I got something right in this one! Thanks @Mi-Amigo ! I'll try get to the new one today too.

Mi-Amigo · ‎02-12-2020

Well done @Marjo - one correct and one part-correct in this quiz.

I hope you get a chance to have a go at the questions in today`s quiz on separate thread. You might beat your "rivals" @LukasB and @Martin-O2 [if he takes part, perhaps you can give him a virtual nudge ]
