Welcome to

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

 

                                    Today`s White Room Quiz is the Regulars` Choice Quiz.

The White Room Quiz`s regular quizzers have each voted for their preferred three categories; the points have been counted; and I can reveal the eight categories with the most points are

 

            SPACE   MOVIES   WORDS   SPORT   PHYSICS   BIOLOGY   ART   FOOD & DRINK.

 

I have selected one question in each category for this White Room Quiz
