We had a horde of 20/20s last week – congratulations to Jim, Geoff (who to be fair, had more important achievements this week), Bruce, Rich, and Aaron, who all made the perfect score.
Today’s quiz is a little like a crossword – you need to solve a couple of clues, and join them to make a band name.

I scored 18/20, and I’m sure there are some Clever Clogs out there who can better my score.
Ooh, this was a good one. I sweated out a couple of them but I’m proud to say that I scored 20/20 with 2:28 left on the clock. I took an unexpected brief nap earlier & it seemed to clear my head. I’ll have to watch Jeopardy tonight to see if it lasts. Probably not.

I might need to try the brief nap strategy. I don’t know if there’ll be as many 20s this week, but we’ll see.

Ha! 20/20 with 2:41 left. I’m not sure if I even knew half the bands. I just knew all the phrases.

I probably wouldn’t bother with Nickelback if I were you.

Trust me, I know of and have hated them for many years. They can bloody well stay up in Canada for all I care.

Your 18 out of 20 is better than mine, as I totally got two wrong.

Thanks for the tip of the hat – I’ll remember this week as the week where my daughter was born and I earned a pair of 20s!

That was fun. I got 20/20 too, with 1:20 to go. Found one question particularly difficult — __ pasa?, __ route (on the way) — but got there in the end.

Yeah, I got that one wrong. Not very good at my Spanish.

I think maybe we don’t get as much Spanish down in this part of the world as our American friends do?

As far as knowing or speaking Spanish in America, it all depends on where you are. Big country. So, Florida, Texas, California, etc. yes. NYC has a large Hispanic population. And so a lot of high school kids there study it as a second language. But in other places, like the further north in New England you go, nada. I speak no Spanish but the expression ‘que pasa’ is familiar to me. .

Yes, I liked the ones when they shoe-horned two words into one. Great score (as usual)!

15 and the time ran out… couple of bands there that weren’t on my radar… and a couple I really should have got.

20/20 for me! The Dean Martin one really threw me because I kept thinking of another song and then I couldn’t think past that – until by miracle I did! Not much time on the clock but I’ll take the result. 🙂
