Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo  for a great quiz.

I have noticed chemistry is set for Monday. Pffftttt! 😂

[pgn]

Thanks, @Mi-Amigo and well done all - been listening to this off and on since, prompted by the Madame Tussaud's question: What better way to start a rainy Friday than...

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your award - there were a couple of tricky questions.

As to Monday`s WRQ, I`ll try and find a "nice" chemistry question 😀 for you...

[Is there such a thing as a "nice" chemistry question ? 😂 ]   

[Cleoriff]

Superb record @pgn I love that track. 😎

No nice chemistry questions @Mi-Amigo although some are 'easier' for me than others. 😂

Thank you @pgn

Thanks for the video, I like the song [which can`t feature in question planned for Wednesday`s WRQ now 😂]

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo for an excellent round of the White Room Quiz!

Almost got a Red Thinker this time around and I'm so frustrated because I tried hard to remember the answer to the fifth question but couldn't, and it's one of those that when you read the answer you say to yourself "of course!". Maybe next time!

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @RafaC

Yes, you were close to getting a Red Thinker but, as has been said before, the questions are only easy if you know [or maybe guess] the answers.

With a bit of knowledge, luck, or a guess, you might get a Red Thinker in Monday`s WRQ...  

[RafaC]

Thank you for your kind words @Mi-Amigo
Fingers crossed for the Monday's WRQ 🤞
