Thank you @pgn and @Cleoriff for your kind comments.

As you said, I hope the quiz helps break up the day and provides light relief.

@LukasB - three stars is fairly good, as some questions in the quiz can be tricky.

We all love @Marjo amusing answers - after all, the quiz is meant to be fun.

I should point out something about the answer given to my first quiz

@O2Johnpm`d me with " "songs of Cream, hense White Room"

in fact, the quiz is called the White Room Quiz to rival the famous Black Chair in BBC Mastermind

[just another bit of useless knowledge ]

Answer: Peregrine Falcon. Marjo's answer: Cheetah.
