Congratulations to John Snow from 2loud2oldmusic, who scored the fastest time in last week’s quiz (and was one of only two 100% scores, along with Rich). I know how much he likes memes, so….
This week’s quiz isn’t too tricky, but requires some mental agility – you need to remember which 3 options are eliminated so you can choose the correct answer.

I scored full marks with 4:21 remaining. Can you beat my time?

Ooh, that was fun…and initially confusing. I scored 12/12 but didn’t beat our esteemed host. I finished with 4:10 remaining.
Sounds like that initial confusing period cost you a few seconds!
12/12 in 3:48 but I had to guess the Adele one because being 61 I hadn’t a clue!
Sorry, I guess it means 3:48 remaining! Also, I had to try it twice because at first my pea-sized brain couldn’t understand it.
Good work! I think retrying when you misunderstand the concept the first time is legit.
100%, 3:39 left. Lucky guess on the classical one.
I wasn’t entirely sure about who wrote 9 orchestral symphonies, but I knew Beethoven’s 9th was a thing so I ran with that. Everyone has 100% so far, but only 5% of Sporcle users overall.
Those Sporcle people just ain’t that bright.
SCORE
12/12
TIMER
02:42 2 complete guesses…I was lucky.
Good work!
I blew this one big time. I didn’t even bother finishing.
11 out of 12 and don’t remember which one i missed or how much time was left. That was a tough test while being timed.
It’s hard to keep track of everything I found.
p.s. great meme!!!!!
11/12 w/ 4:52 – I missed the one about the album recorded by a band, jazz and live album. I was overthinking that Pet Sounds weren’t recorded by the Beach Boys themselves so I picked that, stupidly forgetting that the correct answer was recorded by THE solo artist.
The three Wilsons all play some instruments I think, although Carl’s and Dennis’ contributions are pretty minimal.
12/12 with 4:45 on the clock. Took a semi-guess on the classical and Marvin Gaye ones so it’s only by a couple of coin tosses.
Looks like the fastest time so far.
I know nothing!!! 8/12 this time around. Glad to see I knew enough last week to win…it has been a long time since I won a week.
Feels like your musical knowledge set is different than mine – often you’ll do well in quizzes I don’t get 100% on, and vice versa.
9/12 – Pre-coffee though, the fault is mine!
Hard to keep track of three criteria without coffee.
11/12 — with 3:37 left on the clock!
Thanks for playing!
