Subject: A Different Kind of Quiz (Done! Winner is Moo!)
Written By: Zella on 03/02/06 at 8:01 pm
A framework of both title and artist are already provided. Once you figure out how it works, I think it will be quite easy. A very rudimentary (grade school) sense of mathematics and a slight (and goofy) knowlege of linguistics is helpful... ;)
There is of course, a (simple) theme. It's almost as clear as the light of night and of day... ;)
Be very careful not to mix your commas, periods, apostrophes and semicolons...
(By the way, I keep adding more as I think of them...maybe this will be the original 'endless quiz'...)
Scores:
Moo - 7
Jaytee - 6 1/2
Windbreaker - 6
Gaylon - 5
Sister Morphine, Fuss - 4 each
Maddog - 3
Paul - 2 1/2
Tanya76 - 2
Henk - 1
WB 1. 3,3,3,orb+sank,2,2,4 ; 6,6 You Are the Sunshine of My Life - Stevie Wonder
WB 2. orb+2,cat ; (2X5) Sunny Days - Lighthouse

25 is correct, but still not the artist I am looking for for 22 ...maybe I should double check it - I was going by memory on who I thought was the 'popular recording artist' and my memory is not what it used to be.... ::)

yeah I double checked the artist for #22 and my memory WAS faulty, so I changed it to the person I had it on a record by - at least that is playing it safe. ;D
