Music Quiz: 12 Flags
Congratulations to Sheik Yerbouti, who scored the fastest time of the correct entrants in last week’s Back the Block challenge.
This week you need to connect the flags with the male musicians.

Everyone will beat my score this week – I mis-clicked and rage quit. I don’t think it’s too tough if you’re more coordinated than me though.

Graham Fyfe is fascinated by pop music, and he may be the only blogger in the world to cover Neil Diamond and Ariana Grande.
11/12, Damn! Missed Igor Stravinsky. This one was tough at first but got easier due to process of elimination.

You could write about The Rite of Spring – it’s got a pretty fun backstory.

Heh! I know about the riots. But I leave the classical stuff to Musicophile over in Switzerland. I like classical music but I am WAY over in my head in writing about it.

11/12. I was just as uncoordinated apparently but went to zen place and finished strong.

There are the obvious selections but for the unfamiliar ones, I just assume the country with the last names.

Yup that was a good strategy for some of those names. Looks like you’re the
fastest so far.

A couple of the above commenters beat me on time however, although in mitigation my WIFi connection cut out for roughly 30 secs into the quiz, and meant I couldn’t click on anything for a while. Still, chuffed if I made the top 3 of something for a change lol
PS Just wondering, do you have to be logged in/signed up to that site for your score to register?
LikeLiked by 1 person
I’m registered because it helps me keep track of what quizzes I’ve played and used before, plus you get can earn badges. But I think your scores count toward the overall quiz stats even if you’re not registered. Good work!

10 of 12 with 1:50 left. Can’t say its was my favorite quiz of the ones you posted. only 12 choices and most you could guess if needed. That name sounds like this country just click on the flag. Of course you have to know the flag which most I got.

That’s great! I love that band. Hopefully Neko Case touring with them? She always adds an extra dimension to the vocals live. There was a time years ago when it was kind of hit or miss whether she would be part of a show when she was also doing her solo stuff.

Yeah, I think Case will be there. Would be an extra attraction for sure.
