Thanks for matching my number 10 answer!

[waits for the punchline]

64

Yes! We so win that question!

65

You were meant to say “You’re Whelk-ome”. :slight_smile:

Never mind, it was a bit of a groaner - a lot of a groaner, actually.

I was thinking of Hitchhiker’s Guide when I answered that question. You don’t have a whelk’s chance in a supernova of winning this game unless you put “conch” for number 10.

66

And that’s 50!! Back in a bit with the scores. Thanks for playing!

Thanks everyone! Stay tuned, there’ll be another along this afternoon…

70

Not Last!

71

Hey, I did so badly, I didn’t even get a score :frowning:

Another fine tradition maintained.

72

Whoa! I was looking for my score in the usual mid-thirties.

And to think, I almost said Italy, too.

73

I always do poorly in brujaja’s contests. Maybe her questions inspire me to put down more personal answers, rather than putting down what I think will be the most popular answer.

Also, what was the unusual instrument in “Norwegian Wood”?

74

That was fun – thanks, Dolores!

75

Golly, I did awful. I want to tip my hat to the other Jethro Tull fan* in the game, though. We were so close on question 3 (Aqualung vs. Locomotive Breath). Damn. Maybe next time. Anyway, thanks for the game, Dolores Reborn!

ETA: * Little Nemo

76

Sitar.

Good questions, brujaja – and thanks for running it, Dolores!

77

Thanks. I must have been thinking of a different song.

78

Damn, and here I thought the sitar wasn’t exotic enough as I was the only one to put down “Paint it Black.”

79
  1. Indian Food? or “Tandoori”
  2. Michaelangelo’s David
  3. Steve Miller Band’s Wild Mountain Honey (feating his custom Sitar-Guitar) :smack:
  4. Pan’s Labrynth
  5. Kimono
  6. Camel
  7. Psilocybin (Mushrooms if too specific)
  8. Salsa
  9. England
  10. Conch

I really shot myself in the foot on #3… At least no one else will have it.

80

I’m sorry! I must have missed you. You would have gotten a 122.
