OMG, WTF & FFS - and most of those were guesses too. Must touch grass more.

Double figures! Very glad my brain managed to retain some of the more obscure facts asked for, and I was able to work out a couple of questions.

And congratulations to everyone who knew or correctly guessed that Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman (by nearly two weeks).

They are both younger than me (by about two weeks).

But my surname isn’t Olderman unfortunately.

Bugger. After a few good weeks, have crashed back down to 8/15 this week.

Suspect I’m not going to be the only person genuinely shocked by one of the answers.

I was genuinely surprised by a few answers, but I did get the :hamburger: one right.

Got a few lucky guesses otherwise it wouldn’t have been good this week

Creditable, I think. Especially as I’ve been out of the country for the whole week.

Maybe I should stay away.

Back in the double figures for me this week. Got the album question wrong. I think I’ve yet to successfully put any band’s records in the right order in this quiz, as the quizmaster keeps picking ouvres I’m not familiar with. Needs more Britpop, or industrial, or even Depeche Mode.

Also got the Eagles one wrong which I should have known :face_with_peeking_eye:

Back to normal. No lucky guesses, just eight unlucky ones.

Nor me. I’m waiting for Pink Floyd. I didn’t even get the one where three of them were numbers.

Double figures is good, right?

I haven’t been paying all that much attention to the news this week, so most of the correct answers came from passive consumption, which shows how powerful that can be.

Nine. Bad?

Thought it was Friday today and nearly forgot. As this week it felt like I was catastrophically careering through the questions from one wrong answer to another, I’m remarkably pleased to have escaped with what this time feels like a high nine.
