I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will take part in Monday`s White Room Quiz, when there will be eight questions with two questions on each of these categories

 

   GEOGRAPHY  SPACE   MOVIES  EVENTS

 

As you will see, there is the most popular category - SPACE - and also EVENTS which can sometimes be tricky. I`ll be searching out the eight questions over the weekend and will try and come up with a mix of easier and not so easy questions.

 

Thank you everyone for taking part and making the White Room Quiz fun.
