We had three sets of full marks in last week’s quiz – Murphy’s Law, Rich, and Aaron. If I’m interpreting his comment correctly, Murphy’s Law was the fastest, answering 24 questions in less than 2 minutes.
This week’s quiz requires you to click the middle word in 40 pop songs, covering a range of eras.

I scored 40/40 with 01:34 to spare – can you equal my score and beat my time? I was lucky – I’m not very well versed in Bruno Mars beyond ‘Uptown Funk’, but made a fortuitous guess. Good luck!

38/40. Probably doesn’t matter that I had twelve seconds left. It asked me if I had considered having my own theme music which I suppose would be a mix of the Bond theme with Peter Gunn.
Bond with a gun and a Gunn?
31-40. I lost track of time and then tried to rush through. Again, passable
Yup, sounds like a B+.
Wow. Only 32/40.
It’ll be interesting to see how the scores shake out this week- been a bit of a spread, but all in the 30s, so far.
38/40 for me. I’ll blame the fact that I was listening to the quad mix of Pink Floyd’s “Atom Heart Mother” as I took the quiz so the musical part of my brain was distracted. But in reality I wouldn’t have done any better in complete silence.
I made you a special bonus question:
ATOM ______ MOTHER
Options: Kidney, Brain, Lung, Heart
Oh dear. These all ages gigs aren’t my cuppa. But off we go…
I listened to Miles’ Dark Magus.
Didn’t help.
24.
Is that a haiku?
More a lowku.
27 before time ran out. I’ve done better.
But still a solid B.
39/40 I was in too much of a hurry and clicked Get instead of Got.
I got so many wrong that I started looking for surreal or rude answers.
It was easy, 40/40 with 2:13 left, the only one I had trouble with was the Styx one and I sorta guessed it
We’ve had a few 38s and 39s this week, but you’re the only 40.
36. That one was really fun!
Yes, open ended answers was pretty fun. 36 is a solid score.
