I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in Monday`s White Room Quiz, which will be

the first of the WRQ Odd Questons A-Z - for details see here 

Thank you everyone for making the WRQ fun.

[pgn]

Well done all!

As there's a Study on my (recently acquired, last Christmas, never had the game before!) Cluedo game board, hence my 9 rooms, I guess it's a revised, not original version as in your reference for this q, @Mi-Amigo - it also has an extra suspect, Dr Orchid:

Good game, @Mi-Amigo - shame the stamp obliterating machine was not a correct answer for one of the other q's - more interesting, if of doubtful popularity, than the now ubiquitous automatic dishwasher 🤣

[MI5]

I also believed there to be a study in Cluedo?

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn and @MI5 

Just done another check on Cleudo [shouldn`t have just accepted the first answer I found]. Yes there is also the Study. I`m not going to penalise those who gave 8 as an answer, their awards will remain as given, but I will award a star as correct answer to those who gave 9 as an answer.

So Awards are revised as follows

@MI5       = Bronze Thinker + star - 7 correct

@pgn       = Bronze Thinker + star - 7 correct

@Cleoriff = Bronze Thinker + star - 7 correct

@gmarkj  = Red Thinker + star - 5 correct  

[Cleoriff]

I thought 9 rooms as well.😂

Damn hard this week

[MI5]

👍 @Mi-Amigo 

[J9el]

Hi @Mi-Amigo - Sorry I missed out this time,  I’ll be taking part on Monday. Have a good weekend.

[RafaC]

Did a little bit better than last time 😁 and I'm glad to see that @Spenny did so much better 👏

Well done everyone and thanks @Mi-Amigo! 

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @Cleoriff .

Some of the questions in this quiz were a lot harder, so well done on your award.

Sorry you missed out on this quiz @J9el 

Pleased you`ll be able to take part in Monday`s which should be fun and, hopefully, a little easier.

Thank you @RafaC 

Pleased you did better this time, especially as some of the questions were not easy.
