Music Quiz: Singers by Birth Country Minefield
Congratulations to Tony, who scored 40/40 in last week’s quiz.
This week’s quiz, my score won’t be difficult to beat – I amassed a pathetic 1/32 in this minefield quiz. The idea is to click singers in the pattern Canada, United Kingdom, United States, United Kingdom; if you make a mistake (as I did on my second guess), the game is over.
Remember Canada, UK, USA, UK, Canada, UK, USA, UK.

How did you get on?
Aphoristical
Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may just be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
Ooh, tough one. I was on a roll but didn’t notice the clock running out, so I finished with 27/32. I would have taken one or two guesses to complete the thing so not sure if I would have made it to 32/32. Still proud of my score. I can see where one wrong move would stop you in your tracks.

20/32. I blew it on a Canadian artist. Still not sure which one.

I would throw all my records and CDs out just to listen to only those guys.

Stopped with a jolt when I ran out of Canadian artists I knew. Still, 50% is a pass, isn’t it?

I managed 14/32. Could have used 3 min, was under pressure by the clock

Yup, it required both speed and finesse. 14 is a lot more than I got.

Oooft! I enjoyed that one! That was tough going… but I got 29. I had to repeat that order like a mantra. 10 seconds on the clock, so no way I would have gotten 32 before the clock struck game over.

And that makes you the leader so far. I reckon 3 in 10 seconds is actually not too tough, gets easier as you eliminate options.

I wasn’t familiar with those left, but yeah, it may not have been too tough.

I think I hit only 12 or 13 when I hit a wrong one. That was hard.

Thanks to your reminder about the order (and some ridiculously lucky guesses about the non Canadian artists in the 2nd half, I somehow finished it with 8 seconds to spare!
