Yes an abacus is a great thing @pgn ...and for 'some' maths, is the only tool I could use.

WEDNESDAY`S WHITE ROOM REGULARS` CHOICE QUIZ.

My grateful thanks to

@Cleoriff @MI5 @pgn @LukasB @Martin-O2 @gmarkj @jonsie @Anonymous @Marjo @TheresaV

for your votes via pm.

The votes have been counted and I can reveal the eight categories which received the most points are

SPACE MOVIES WORDS SPORT PHYSICS BIOLOGY ART FOOD & DRINK

I`m going to now find one question for each of these categories, which will form the White Room Regulars Quiz on Wednesday.

I hope everyone likes at least some of the categories, which remember were voted for by the regulars who take part in the WRQ, and that you, and anyone else who want to, will take part in this quiz, which should be fun - with some easier and others not-so-easy questions.

Thank you once again for your interest and support for the White Room Quiz.

Had to learn TCA cycle by rote, @Cleoriff 😖 Important, and why you don't drink antifreeze.

Mind you, better than Royal Families or Athletics and Fitba' ⚽🏈

A-level to blame, @Cleoriff, but no: my BTEC HND was where we got into it a lot. I loved the specialist bits - Parasitology and Microbiology - probably the reason I don't order steak pie and chips or whelks or mussels at the seaside... 😖
