Hey everyone, Thanks for all your entries into this weeks quiz - I really enjoyed making it and I hope you enjoyed partaking in it. Altogether there are 32 participants: Scene Goddelta Mango HarryBorelli Iz Roba. chrissmith276 conorw rio309 spiceboy paulgilb CowTzy Bjork Dobbo Chez Wombat PeteFromLeeds awardinary ~1^∞ Jordanlee1402 Mack. N4yr JulianT donnahjaneymack danG Ansel jimwatts vibe No Sleep King Rollo Riser Jade dandy* Please bear with me as we go through the results. As this is my first time hosting a quiz I can't guarantee that they will be particularly quick (but hopefully they will be accurate!) The scoring: This will work in that the person closest to the answer gets 10 points, then 9 and so on down to nothing (so only the top 10 answerers on a given question will get any points). Hopefully this makes sense. There are a few questions where more than 10 people have got the answer completely spot on so they will all get 10 points and everyone else will get nothing, I think this is the fairest way of doing it. A couple of stats before I start revealing the answers: - Every single answer has been guessed correctly by at least 1 person! - There is one question that over half of all entries have been guessed correctly, I wonder if anyone can guess which one? Results will start in a few minutes!

Final few minutes - I’ll hopefully start the answers tonight!

Just a couple of hours left to enter! I'll update the participant list now, thanks to everyone who has entered so far!

I should be able to check this tomorrow, but if you can remember any of your answers please PM me and I should be able to use that to find the rest of them.

Thanks for all the entries so far! Some of you have done very well!

There are a couple of people who have submitted on the website but haven't sent me a PM - please could you PM your answers to me too because otherwise I don't know who you are!

Yes, I guess now that the answers are being PMed to me anyway it makes sense for them to be in the thread. I will edit the first post to add the questions. Apologies - I think I have overcomplicated the quiz a bit! Thanks for all your entries so far though.

That is correct yes!

Hey all, I've (hopefully) finally managed to find a website that allows me to create a quiz for free. Thanks to everyone who helped and especially Mango who found the website in the first place. Onto the quiz: This is a very basic quiz of 12 questions that are very difficult/impossible to know the answer to. The person who gets the closest answer wins. Ideally I would have used a countdown timer of 20 seconds to ensure that there is no Googling of answers but I don't think I'll be able to do that so I'll trust that hopefully nobody will cheat (please!). The scoring will work in that the person closest to the answer gets 10 points, then 9 and so on down to nothing (so only the top 10 answerers on a given question will get any points). I'm hoping the questions are quite self explanatory but if there are any issues then please feel free to PM me or ask away in the thread. The quiz will close on Saturday 28th September at 20:00 so you have three days to get your answers in. The link for the quiz: https://www.menti.com/alobvy62w68k The quiz questions: Q1) According to the OCC, how many top 40 singles does Ed Sheeran have to his name? Q2) Including spaces, how many characters does The 1975's newest album have in its title? Q3) If the ages of Kylie Minogue, Lady Gaga and Beyonce were added together, how old would they be? Q4) To the nearest million, how many copies has the album ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits sold in the UK? Q5) In what year did The Weeknd get his first charting single in the UK as lead artist? Q6) How many number 1 singles have there ever been in the UK? Q7) Kings and Queens by Ava Max and Waking Up In Vegas by Katy Perry both peaked at the same chart position in the UK. What position was it? Q8) Taylor Swift is currently on tour. How many tour dates does the 'Eras Tour' have altogether? Q9) Including Greatest Hits albums (but not solo albums) how many albums have The Wanted, JLS and One Direction released combined? Q10) How many years were there between The Beatles first charting single and their most recent chart hit? Q11) How many top 40 singles (including features) has Future appeared on? Q12) Final question, how many of these questions do you think you will get the correct answer to? I really hope this works and apologies again for the delay. EDIT: I have realised that the website will not allow you to input a username so please PM me your answers!

Brilliant, thank you all for your suggestions! I should be able to get the quiz up and running tonight - apologies for the delay!

Unfortunately, I'm having a few issues with finding a website I can write a quiz on which isn't making me pay - if anyone knows of one it would be much appreciated. I have all my questions ready though!

I’d personally say it’s a fine start for both The Weeknd and Tâte McRae to be honest. I think the songs will be moderate hits for both artists whilst not being their biggest ones.

I’ll attempt to host my first quiz this season! I’ll do a quick-fire closest answer wins in week 5 if that’s ok?

Yeah I reckon is SOPHIE again, that was originally listed as the hottest record for tomorrow and the last posthumous release was kept quiet too.

The beginning of ‘Lose Control’ and ‘Dance Monkey’ I have always thought sound quite similar.

No, they determined it was a racing incident in the end. Although it was predominantly Kevin’s fault, I wonder whether they were weary about giving him a race ban when it was 100% his fault.

Ahhh very happy with that winner! Glad that it all went well in the end after the competition looked very shaky earlier

Serbia is ok, feels very Billie Eilish like.

That was brilliant! Glad they ended up performing tonight because I think that will do very well!!

This is crap but also amazingly enjoyable! I think this performance is Eurovision in a nutshell

Well I have no idea what’s happening but I think this is my favourite so far!

Is the sound effect that’s played at the beginning of each performance (when the country’s name appears) the start of Tattoo or am I going mad?

Obviously this is very difficult to judge and can’t be voted on… but just judging the performance this was my favourite so far.

This Luxembourg song is ok - I can imagine it getting a bit lost though with bigger songs to come later on.

I’m not sure there will be a chart - they are doing a proper Friday event for the first time ever this year so there are performances starting earlier in the day and wouldn’t be surprised if this then affects the chart.
