Question 4 Tiffany from Eastenders took this song to number one Picture: Cyndi Lauper Written question: Perfect Moment Answer Smash: Cyndi Lauperfect Moment Commentary: The picture caught quite a lot of people out being of 80s icon Cyndi Lauper. Apologies to the non-Brits for the Eastenders reference but the character of Tiffany was memorably played by Martine McCutcheon, who in turn took her debut single, Perfect Moment, to number one.

Question 3 The Carpenters phoned ET on this top 10 hit single Picture: Dizzee Rascal Written question: Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft Answer Smash: Dizzee Rascalling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft Commentary: I think this is one of my favourite answers!! Although he hasn’t really troubled the charts lately, with 5 number ones to his name, the photo should be a fairly recognisible one of Dizzee Rascal. The question relates to the Carpenter’s cover version of ‘Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft’, a song originally by Canadian group Klaatu. *A few people ran with the ET phone home theme and tried to slip that into their answer!

Question 2 Who sang ‘When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am’? Picture: Kajagoogoo Written question: Goo Goo Dolls Answer Smash: Kajagoogoo Dolls Commentary: A slightly harder photo, especially for younger players, but Kajagoogoo had a fairly iconic look so hopefully not too obscure. The question refers to lyrics from a very well-known song, Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls. Five points: Awardinary, Paulgilb, xajnipi, Adele, CianS92, M4NGO, lordp, dj_tim_e, AaronTM, PeteFromLeeds, Mack., Ansel, King Rollo, ...ready for it, vancey, MrAndrewMa, Riser, RabbitFurCoat, Jade, Jester, dandy*, Chez Wombat, dan-G, oof, Bré Four points: Bjork (KajagoogooGooGooDolls) jimwatts (Kajagoogoo Goo Dolls) One point: TS0301 (Goo Goo Dolls) jlj (Wake me up before you Goo Goo Dolls) chrissmith276 (Goo Goo Dolls) n4yr (Goo Goo Dolls) Cremey (Goo Goo Dolls) MiichaelKing21 (Frankie Goes To Hollywoo Goo Dolls) Jahq (Goo Goo Dolls) No points: ultrafolklore (boybandiris idk haha) Vibe (Duran Duran )

Question 1 “Derek and the Domino’s song, that Eric Clapton wrote about George Harrison’s wife Patti (who he was in love with!)” Picture: Coldplay Written question: Layla Answer Smash: Coldplayla Commentary This was a fairly easy picture with a slightly more obscure question. Apparently Eric Clapton fell in love with George Harrison’s wife Patti Boyd and this song was written about his unrequited love for her – they eventually got together and married (and then divorced). *Some genius guesses of song titles, smashed with Coldplay, though – Lay your love on me, Play that song & Play the Game!!

So here we go, the answers to the first Buzzjack ‘Answer Smash’. Thanks to all those that played we had 36 players in the end and it seems to have really split opinion, as some found it easy and others really difficult! I hope everyone enjoyed it as a concept though. For the scoring, as mentioned in the original post, the main scoring is 5 points for a correct answer and 1 point for getting either the picture or written questions correct, but not giving the full answer. I’ve also decided to give out some discretionary points, for example if someone has answered both parts correct but not smashed the answer I have awarded 4 points. Other discretionary points will be given during the course of the answer reveal.

Thanks dandy*! We're up to 34 entries now :cheer:

Thanks Jade ^_^

Thanks Jim, I've got yours and RabbitFurCoat's answers this afternoon. Glad you enjoyed it :cheer:

Last day for entries on the Answer Smash quiz. If you've not entered yet it won't take too long - most people seem to be spending less than 15 minutes on the quiz site. :P

We're up to 25 players now, thanks to all that have entered. Less than 27hrs to enter, if you've not yet submitted your answers.

Get your answers in for the week 7 quiz - it closes tomorrow night :)

Thanks Cremey - I got your answers. There was an answer for most of the questions, including the last one, so it looks pretty good. :)

Bumping this up - 20 entries so far......three days left to play if you've not yet entered.

Great to see Chvrches here, I was worried they had missed out - they would've scored another 15 points from me

We're up to 18 entries now - list updated on the first post. 👍

Thanks Pete - I've got your answers (some made me giggle)!

Great quiz Ansel - I scored pretty well but due to the stiff competition still only finished 11th!

I worked out Rosalia but didn’t think it was an actual artist’s name! I also spent a long time thinking it was a tulip!!

They would've got 13 points from me if I'd remembered to submit on time!

Perfect, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks chris - I've got your entry.

I'm actually doing OK at this one - after being nothing more than poor at all the other quizzes :cheer:

Thanks M4NGO - I have your answers.
