Evening (morning) all. The quiz this week is a most excellent effort by a player who wishes to remain anonymous. A big thank you to him/her. :ok::ok:

Rules

1...Questions are posted on Sunday evening my time. Answers whenever I feel like it, but usually within 24 hours.

2..2 points for each lyrics question, one for the song title and one for the artist. TOTW/SOTW and trivia questions are normally worth a point apiece, but some questions may ask for additional information, worth extra points.

3...The clue in the lyrics section may be any line or lines from either the song or chorus.

4...The judge's decision is final. In hoc signo vinces.

5...During the first 24 hours or until the first set of answers have been posted, players are restricted to one post containing as many answers as they like. Additional posts will be ignored and edited posts will be disqualified. After 24 hours or after the first answers have been compiled, all restrictions are cancelled (free for all).

Bag - open. Cat - gone...

Cooda, he is the Administrator, and that was the answer I had given to Piggy. Gupta answered it correctly, I think Piggy just got the terms mixed up.

:E:E:E:E

Gee, I wasn't expecting to catch a Madam Special Quizmeister with that line. :} :D

I saw Gupta had the right answer and was just chipping Piggy for his breach of protocol.



Waddya mean Canadians aren't fully informed on the intricacies of life in the NT..............I thought everyone was. We're the centre of the universe after all. :cool:

Great quiz Pseudonym. Just wish I'd been able to get to it sooner.

Well done to the quiz author - Pseudonymn :D:D:D



Great to see my legacy in such good hands :eek: :rolleyes: :yuk:

More correct answers and an attempt to scrounge extra points at the quizmeisters expense. Scores adjusted accordingly.

Whaddya mean Canadians aren't fully informed on the intricacies of life in the NT...

Well, I do know the Darwin ice-hockey team has never been defeated. The Ottawa Senators could do with a few lessons from the Darwin team. :p :D :E

Scran in addition to great subject matter, I think Pseudonymn has hit upon the perfect combination of 20 questions in each category. :ok:
