Welcome to 

white-room-quiz2.png

 

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

  @Cleoriff  @pgn  @jonsie  @gmarkj @MI5  @TallTrees  @O2EmmaLouise @TheresaV @LukasB

I do hope we get a bit of background on some answers, @Mi-Amigo - for example what the right answer to Q3 really is... on second thoughts, p'raps not 😉

Bring forth the results, dear Yorrick (homage to @Cleoriff's excellent gif up above 👍).
