1. I did not beat your time but I matched your score. 2:12 was left on the clock. Most of them were fairly clever with a few groaners along the way.

   • I had lots of fun doing it.

2. 24/24, 2:42 left on clock. So, second place thus far?

   • Yup, you’re still the fastest entrant so far.

     • I thought you were. Didnt I have less time remaining?

       • I don’t count. I pick the quizzes so it’s not very fair.

         • Ah! A fair man and perhaps one day the prime minister of New Zealand.

         • Our prime minister is younger than me.

         • Ah, well then you have time. When you’re elected, your first job will be – listing all NZ artist albums worst to best.

         • Maybe I should aim for Minister of Culture?

         • If you have such a thing then yes, you have my vote. Also a possible new name for your blog.

         • Do you know Parliament’s ‘Chocolate City’?
           “Stevie Wonder, Secretary of fine arts
           And Miss Aretha Franklin, the First Lady”

         • Nope.

3. 24/24 in 5:08.

   • Great effort.

4. Impressed by all these perfect scores.16/24 for me.

   • English isn’t your first language, right? It’s probably more that than music knowledge.

     • Process of elimination on this one. They’re easier when a clue leads to only one possible answer and you’ve gotten the others through a combination of sleuth-work and dumb luck

   • That, and most here have a head start by following music for longer. I’m still in the discovery phase. Names like “Sharkey” & “Pellow” don’t ring a bell.

     • The Undertones are a little obscure, especially outside the UK.

     • I’m still in the discovery phase too. The more you find out, the less you realise you know.

5. SCORE
   20/24… not too bad

   • Not bad at all….

6. 23/24 Close, but not quite there. This one was fun.

   • Yeah, I thought it was great.

7. 24/24 with 3:14 on the clock. The Fergal Sharkey joke made me chuckle. My wife told me she wanted to see a Monkees tribute act in Switzerland. I thought she was joking but now I’m in Geneva..

   • 3:14 remaining? Then I saw her face…

8. 17 of 24 when I ran out of time – but that was alot of fun – did you put that one together? Kudos!

   • Nope wasn’t me, but I wish it was!

9. 24 – with 1:42 remaining. I plan on using the Rick Astley joke at the earliest possible convenience!

   • Never gonna give that joke up.

     • You & that joke will be Together Forever!

10. Got the 24, but not an olympic record, that’s for sure.
    2:12 left on the clock.

    • Good effort. We can’t all be as fast as Dawn Fraser.

      • True. I’m more of a Late Afternoon Fraser.
