April 19, 20214 yr I thought Whistle would be the top scoring answer for the whole thing. Surprised at it being #12 but hopefully it is the one I put!!
April 19, 20214 yr Author Q12. An artist / group who hasn't yet released a Greatest Hits but could easily have done Answers given 8 | Scoring 4 | Top score 15 JF8BRvqGCNs 15 points Rihanna | jimwatts, dan::G, vibe, Dobbo, garyfeld, xajnipi, Mango, n4yr, Riser, Bjork, chrissmith276, King Rollo, Jade, Bré, LewisGT, Kath 2 points Taylor Swift | Ansel, ...ready for it, West 1 point Coldplay | rio309, coi Little Mix | paulgilb, awardinary 0 points Black Eyed Peas | LiamSime Ed Sheeran | JulianT Tiësto | PeteFromLeeds Usher | Mack. And here is the highest scoring top answer in the quiz! Seems not only is the world waiting with bated breath for new material from Rihanna, but she is also a glaring absentee from those acts who have a token compilation of their discography highlights hanging around the album charts forever and a day, thanks to the unrelated streaming of those songs! Taylor, who is perhaps too busy making new and re-versioned albums to promote a compilation right now, comes a distant second, while Coldplay and Little Mix earn their last points of a busy night for them! This also confirms the Q13 bonus goes to the few of you who guessed that the highest score for a top answer from Q1-Q12 would be... 15 points
April 19, 20214 yr Oh no, I was going to put Rihanna for that one but thought the Fearless release would make people think of Taylor instead :(
April 19, 20214 yr That was the one I was most confident on, it had to be Rihanna. Did I put 15 points as my answer to Q13? I've got a feeling I did but can't remember now!
April 19, 20214 yr Ah bummer - flopped on the 2 most important questions and put 14 for the bonus! :arrr:
April 19, 20214 yr Glad to have got the 2 top answers but really should have got the Blank Space one too! Expecting a mid-table finish...
April 19, 20214 yr Author Q13. As a number of points, the highest score for a top answer from Q1-Q12 BONUS: if correct, this number of points will be added to your score Answers given 15 | Scoring 7 | Top score before bonus 3 | Top score after bonus 17 CvBfHwUxHIk 17 points: 2 points + 15 points BONUS “15” | PeteFromLeeds, Mango, West 3 points “12” | Riser, rio309, chrissmith276, awardinary “13” | jimwatts, LiamSime, Dobbo, Bjork 1 point “8” | garyfeld, LewisGT “9” | Ansel, paulgilb “14” | dan::G, JulianT “22” | King Rollo, Jade 0 points “10” | coi “17” | n4yr “18” | Bré “20” | xajnipi “21” | Kath “25” | vibe “50” | ...ready for it “141” | Mack. I can confirm the lucky winners of the bonus, with their guesses of 15 points are... Pete, Mango and West :cheer: They get 15 points added to the two they picked up for choosing the same answer as each other! The bonus very nearly didn’t go anywhere, since Nobody guessed 16 points! Conversely, many guesses of 12 and 13 (the nominal top answers here) and 14 points were dashed as the last few results came in yesterday! Final scores on the way! :w00t:
April 19, 20214 yr Author And with that 15 point bonus, the winning score of the final quiz of the series belongs to Mango! :cheer: Commiserations go to Bré, who scored the most points in the regular part of the quiz, and to dan::G, who was duelling with Dobbo for top score throughout most of the week, and then looked on course to overhaul Bré with a 14-point bonus, before the final entry gave Rihanna another point on Q12! 1st | 81 points | Mango 2nd | 78 points | Bré 3rd | 76 points | dan::G 4th | 72 points | Dobbo 5th= | 67 points | n4yr 5th= | 67 points | Riser 5th= | 67 points | West 8th | 63 points | LewisGT 9th | 57 points | chrissmith276 10th | 55 points | xajnipi 11th | 54 points | coi 12th= | 53 points | Bjork 12th= | 53 points | Jade 14th | 51 points | PeteFromLeeds 15th | 48 points | King Rollo 16th= | 44 points | Ansel 16th= | 44 points | JulianT 18th= | 43 points | LiamSime 18th= | 43 points | Kath 20th | 41 points | jimwatts 21st | 36 points | garyfeld 22nd= | 30 points | vibe 22nd= | 30 points | ...ready for it 24th | 27 points | paulgilb 25th | 22 points | rio309 26th | 18 points | awardinary 27th | 1 point | Mack. Thank you all for playing and negotiating some tricky FF questions - it went better than I thought it was going to! Thanks also for following and commenting along tonight for the last quiz in Series 4 - seems like there’ll be a few months break before the next one, but I’ll take this opportunity to crown the new series winner (and save him doing it himself :kink: ) So, the top 5 looks like this: 1. Mango** (257.5 points) 2. Bjork (223 points) 3. JulianT* (216.7 points) 4. jimwatts (210 points) 5. chrissmith276* (207.8 points) Congratulations to Mango for winning the series!! :yahoo: Thanks again everyone.

April 19, 20214 yr Happy with just scraping the Top 3rd. As for the series I am in steady decline - 1st, 3rd, 5th.... Thanks for hosting and well done to winners! :)
April 19, 20214 yr Thanks for hosting Jim and congrats to Mango for winning this quiz and the overall title.
April 19, 20214 yr Was Mack playing a different game? :lol: Thanks Jim for a really interesting quiz, and huge congratulations to Mangø for winning the series! Very well earned.
April 19, 20214 yr To continue a recent trend: top half, I'll take it! :kink: Congrats Mango and thanks for this Jim!
April 19, 20214 yr Well done Mango for the double win! Great quiz Jim, some tough but good questions.
April 19, 20214 yr 11th isn't too bad considering I missed a few obvious answers near the end (I really should have remembered that Starbucks lovers lyric from Blank Space! Surprised that so many went for Rihanna in the GH question though) but the rest went alright I think. Congratulations to Mango on winning both this quiz and the series overall! :cheer: A huge lead, so it's thoroughly deserved. And thanks to Jim for hosting, it was a very interesting set of questions!
April 19, 20214 yr Mack putting 141 I misread the question, I was going for the combined total of Q1-Q12.
April 19, 20214 yr Thanks Jim, I'm over the moon to have won the quiz and the series! I look forward to my widget :wub: I do think that 15 points for the bonus question was a little excessive and unfair but obviously I'm not going to complain about it! I'll update the leaderboard shortly. Edited April 19, 20214 yr by Mangø
