Welcome to

white-room-quiz2.png

Thank you @pgn for your kind comments.

 

As to the pirates question, this was another one of those when the idea came from taking a break and reading a book over the weekend. When I came across the two two females with Calico Jack, I thought this might test a few of the regulars.

I enjoy searching out the questions for an all ODD QUESTIONS WRQ and, judging by how many took part this time, it seems everyone liked this slight change, so there will be another one soon.
