Well, did you know, only 5 unique ways are in the song lyrics...

You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Hop on the bus, Gus
Just drop off the key, Lee

Not that the question stipulated title or lyrics 🤣

Who's going to be humming those all morning now...😆

I hope everyone enjoyed this Numbers Edition of the White Room Quiz.

As the last couple of White Room Quizzes have included some difficult questions, Monday`s WRQ will be another of the popular "Odd Question" editions, with 8 questions not from the usual categories.

Over the weekend, I`ll be searching out and selecting 8 questions with one on each of these subjects

- INITIALS MAPS POSTCODES ALPHABET MOTORWAYS AIRPORT CODES CLOTHES

I hope our regular quizzers will take part and we may also be welcoming members who have not joined in before or are new to the Community.

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo. I had no idea of Aussie Rules. My Dad always thought it a waste of time, so that was passed on to me. 😂

Congratulations to @jonsie for his silver thinker and everyone else. Off to have my nails done xx

Thank you @MI5 @Cleoriff and @pgn

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz.

I have to admit to having made a huge mistake in the results and the awards.

I said, in answer to Q2 - number of great grandchildren - that @pgn gave the answer 8 but in fact he actually gave the correct answer - 11. So, @pgn also got all 8 questions correct and therefore is awarded a Silver Thinker - not a Bronze Thinker + star.

Apologies for that. I will try and not make a stupid mistake with Mondays WRQ.
