I hope everyone enjoyed this White Room Quiz and will join in Monday`s White Room Quiz, which, as it is the first WRQ of the new month, will be a "OCT" edition of 8 "oct.... - related" questions.

I won`t spoil it by announcing the categories. You`ll have to wait till Monday.

Thank you everyone for taking part and making the WRQ fun.

Well done all, and the joint effort be "The Management" paid off, well done! Tricky as ever, @Mi-Amigo. Can't wait for the 8, oct, questions on Monday 👍

[gmarkj]

Didn't think I was going to do very well on this one and so it proved!

Well done everyone.

[MI5]

Well done all and thanks @Mi-Amigo 

[Cleoriff]

Well done all.  I agree with @pgn, the joint effort from 'Da Management' did well 😂

Pffftt no clues about Monday? I can't swot up (Not that I would, as it's Singapore F1 all over the weekend) ❤️

Thanks @Mi-Amigo for another great game,

[RafaC]

High five @Breanna!

Thanks for the nod @pgn and @Cleoriff 🙂

Nice set of questions @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone! Looking forward to Monday's OCT-themed WRQ.

[Mi-Amigo]

Thank you @pgn @gmarkj @MI5 @Cleoriff @RafaC 

Pleased you enjoyed the quiz and well done on your awards - with special mention of da Management, who, no doubt, are well chuffed.

Monday`s WRQ should be fun with a mix of categories and I have already stumbled across a couple of questions which I might include and which some might be a little tricky 😉   

[Comben]

Woah was not expecting a thinker this time out so I'm pleased to get an award, thank you Mi-Amigo once again for putting this together. I'm just doing the Oct themed WRQ now (A Little behind but I'll get there!)

Also I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and say a big well done to "da Management" who worked together and achieved a bronze thinker between then. 👏 Finally congratulations to everyone else taking part, lots of awards and a minimum of 3 right from everyone is a great show. 😀
