Welcome to

white-room-quiz2.png

 

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. 

 

  CURRENCY   PIRATES   INITIALS   CODES   FLAGS   SAYINGS   SIGNS   MEASURES

 

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]
