Welcome to

There are two White Room Quizzes each week - one on Monday and one on Wednesday.

Today`s White Room Quiz is an "Odd Questions" edition. Instead of eight questions with two questions from each of four categories, there are eight questions with one question on each of these subjects.

Hopefully my limited knowledge of Morse code will see me through that question....

Assuming I remember correctly how it's formatted.

If it was a letter question, I'd have no chance.
