1. This follically-challenged contestant enjoyed your introduction this week. And I matched you exactly at 24/24 with 3:05 left on the clock. That was intense.

   • Did you get both hair jokes. The Falklands one might have been too obscure…

2. 22/24: 2:48. The quiz was kind enough to say, “Nice, solid effort. We are so proud of you right now.”

   • And I’m proud of you too Jim!

3. 23/24. Stumbled on Del Shannon

   • Almost perfect!

4. 22/24 – Survivor & Del Shannon!

   • I actually would have put Shannon in the 1950s if I could.

5. 24/24 but 1:02

   • Great effort though!

6. Oooft. 18 for me.

   • And great to have you on board sir!

7. 22/24 with 2:50 left.

   • Great effort!

8. I’ve never participated before, but I got 24/24 with 3:08 left on the clock on this!

   • Wow, great effort and great to have you on board.

9. 22/24 with 3:02 left.

   • Great effort!

10. 24/24 with 3:14 left on the clock 😀

    • I liked the snide “I bet you fill out the crossword puzzles in pen” verdict on my result

      • Looks like you’re in the lead.

11. Falkland’s? I’m thinking ‘Shipbuilding’, I’m thinking Harrier Jump Jets, er…
    Although my time was good, I got one wrong. Someone I’ve never listened to at all named Celine Dion. Was she big or something?

    • Huge voice, little soul. I do like It’s All Coming Back To Me, which has Jim Steinman and Todd Rundgren.

    • And there’s a famous quote about the war being like two bald men fighting over a comb?

      • Ah. That’s good.
        Now, where’s my hairbrush?

12. 22/24 – one misclick and I missed Celine Dion

    • Celine Dion was all over the radio in my teens, so I find it pretty easy to match her to the 1990s.
