Thank you @pgn for your kind comments and well done on getting a Bronze Thinker +

Monday`s WRQ should be fun - and I`ll include another "lyrics" MUSIC question as this seems to be popular.

Wednesday`s White Room Seasonal Quiz will be something which will be slightly different [more on that on the day ].

I`ll enjoy searching and putting these quizzes together and look forward to seeing what answers the "regular" quizzers [I`m sure someone can come up with an apt name like "Diamond Dogs of Words" for those who partake in the Word Hunt Diamond?] come up with in the pm in their answers.

I think finding a seasonal chemistry question would be a bit of challenge for me, @Cleoriff

Yeh chemistry question is on Monday; Seasonal quiz is on Wednesday.

Hope you`ll enjoy all.

Ooh I'm happy I got the book question right. That was the only book I could think of and a total guess

Looking forward to the Seasonal Quiz @Mi-Amigo !

Mi-Amigo · ‎11-12-2020

Thank you @Marjo

Yes, you got the book question right, which as I said was the QI-style question which most people get wrong.

Hope you will like the questions in the Seasonal quiz on Wed and, if you get a chance, will also be able to take part in Monday`s normal WRQ.
