White Room Quiz Wed 05 Feb 2025 - Regular`s Choice part 2

[Mi-Amigo]

Welcome to

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

As four subjects came close in votes to be included in Monday`s WRQ Regular`s Choice, I thought it might be fun and interesting for today`s WRQ to be 2 questions on each of those categories

- HISTORY    GEOGRAPHY     GENERAL KNOWLEDGE      MOVIES

The White Room Quiz is open to all members.

Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo  - their answers between 12 noon today [Wed] and
