1. 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.

   • Looks like you’re in the lead so far. Well done!

2. 20/32. I blew it on a Canadian artist. Still not sure which one.

   • Looks into my eyes and you will see.
     What Bryan Adams and Justin Bieber mean to me.

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

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

   • It’s 47% more than I got….

4. 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.

5. 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.

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

   • You still did way better than me!

7. 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!

   • you should change your handle to stephen100%

8. Phew! Full score with :33 left on the clock!

   • Good work – you join Stephen100% on full marks.
