Welcome to this week`s

As mentioned in the Advanced Notice on Monday, this week`s White Room Quiz is eight "easier" questions selected from various quiz books, in which six questions are classed as "easy" and two are classed as "medium" - but I`m not saying which questions are in the "easy" or "medium" classes.

There is no QI-style question, where the answer is not what everyone thinks it is.

Good luck, everyone

Cruiserweight? I always thought there was something odd about boxers... 😁

So who knows *why* Potassium has the symbol K? Hint: It's related to why the metal above it in the Periodic Table has the symbol Na. 🙊

@pgn My dad was an amateur boxer way back in the day. That's the only reason I knew that one!

He was also a semi professional ballroom dancer when he married Mum.

Before that? Well, let's just say he was a bit of a bad boy (If he had lived in Birmingham I expect he would have been a Peaky Blinder)

As I have been saying for the past god knows how long, much needed relief from the relentless posts in other sections.
