7 right is worth 28

[Dragon Phoenix]

Thanks - stupid typo...

[dethwing]

on number 7.

Worldwide?

Out of what, are we shooting for top 10?

[Dragon Phoenix]

Thanks - clarified.

[jesternl]

Interesting... entry coming soon....
But did you have to put in Beatles albums? I am too young for Beatles albums...

[dethwing]

That album is new, released in the last 3 years i think. It's a collection of 27 number 1 hits. Thus the aptly named "1" .

Interesting strategic question: how many to guess when you have no idea in a category? I couldn't name a Tori Amos song if my life depended on it. I refuse to guess fewer than 4 in a category, though, so we'll see if I get lucky with my potshots.

[Tahnan]

Heh. And here's me going "Um, I've seen two James Bond films, and I don't have the Elvis album, and...well, good thing I know all seven Tori songs."

I also do like this style of quiz. Keep meaning to write one in all my spare time.

I also don't know any Tori Amos songs so I guessed 3.

Congratulations to Qaqaq on an outstanding performance!

[mikeamok]

congrats, Qaqaq.
i can't believe i missed the Tori Amos question...

[Milt]

Oh, that's why it's called wipe-out. Thanks for the game, DP.

[dethwing]

I think that's a personal best! Great game DP.

[Qaqaq]

Thanks for the game! And nice phonies on the Tori Amos question, since I managed to hit 2 of the 3 phonies in my 4 potshots.

[jesternl]

Thanks for running it DP..
I recognized some of the Tori Amos phonies, but most of her songs that I like are her covers

[Tahnan]

Wow. And I thought I was doing OK by playing it safe. Sure enough, I didn't zero out on any of them--but it wasn't enough. Well done, Q!
