I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in Monday`s White Room Quiz.

Over the weekend I will search out the 8 questions - with two questions on each of these categories 

- PEOPLE   ART     MOVIES     GAMES

and I`ll try and find a mix of easier and not-so-easy questions.

Thank you everyone for taking part and for making the White Room Quiz fun and please continue to include those brilliant gifs when notifying me your pm with the answers has been sent - as they all add to the WRQ. 

[BobM]

Great quiz again @Mi-Amigo thank you.

Happy with result and did better than I thought I would have.

Well done everyone  👍

[pgn]

Well done all, 9 participants, superb turnout! I nearly put "horse" for Napoleon, but I think that might have been Steptoe and Son's carthorse I was thinking of. Thanks, @Mi-Amigo - a super quiz, nice mix of topics and headscratcher questions 🤔😉

[Cleoriff]

Great quiz @Mi-Amigo.

Me 'trying to be clever' was in the gif. Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas 😂

Look forward to the one on Monday. xx

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @BobM  @pgn @Cleoriff 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards.

As to the "Animal Farm" question, this was a "tricky" question and one quizzer did give the answer "horse" when the correct answer is "pig" or "boar".

Thanks for explaining your gif @Cleoriff and the additional bit of info which all adds to WRQ.
