Can you pick the bands and music groups by the third sentence in their Wikipedia article?
Congratulations to Rich (https://kamertunesblog.wordpress.com/), who scored a perfect 24/24 in last week’s tough quiz.
Hopefully this week’s is a little easier – https://www.sporcle.com/games/MrWhiplash/3rd-bands
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to identify a band from the third sentence in their Wikipedia article.
I scored a strong, yet not impregnable, 19/20 – can you beat me?
Nope. 15/20. Never heard of the ones I missed. No good guesses.

The Rolling Stones are worth checking out. They’re a little underground, but I like their rocking take on traditional blues forms.

Alright…I’m on a roll. Got 20/20 with 1:56 remaining. I had to make a couple of educated guesses and I’m glad the quiz was in a particular order. I might have gotten them wrong had they shown up earlier.

You know you can skip the ones you’re unsure about and get them later? Doesn’t work on every quiz but I think it does on that one. Not that you needed to.

Ah, but here’s the thing. I skipped a bunch and went back guessing, one hopes, intelligently. I don’t know about the other tests but this one only allowed so many guesses before it ended the test and revealed the answers. I’m pretty sure that’s what happened in my case as I seemed to have more time left. If that’s the case, it’s probably fair. You either know ’em or you don’t and I didn’t.

You get one guess at each answer. That’s the same technique I use – eliminate the easy ones, then educated guesses.

An undeserved 19. Reckon I guessed about a third.

An edge through third slip is still a boundary.

Most recent Aussie edges seem to have been snapped up by Bangladesh!
