Welcome to
There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.
Today`s White Room Quiz is the Multi-Choice Answers edition
Instead of the usual eight questions, there are 10 questions - with one question from each of these categories
HISTORY GEOGRAPHY SCIENCE NATURE LITERATURE MUSIC MOVIES TV SPORT GAMES
for the first time, and as a "one off" [and NOT a regular feature in future White Room Quizzes], it is
like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" with four answers to each question - only one is correct.
So you don`t have to "pass" on any question and a chance of getting it right if you have to guess.
The White Room Quiz is open to all members.
Those wishing to take part must pm me - @Mi-Amigo - with their answers between 12 noon today [Wednesday] and 11.59pm tomorrow [Thursday]
I hope our regular quizzers
