I've been doing terribly lately. And today is no exception. But what's weird is how on earth did I pull question one out of the recess of my brain. (But second guessed myself on two others). This is a tie for my worst score.

Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Kind of humiliating that my worst is someone else's second best.....

Meh. They weren't lenient ENOUGH on the Q2 spelling. Apparently you had to have at least one letter correct and in place :lol:

2 was a WAG. I know only about 3 musical groups in this genre, and I knew these artists weren't in the other two groups.
For 1 and 5 I was waffling between two options and chose the wrong one twice.

I'm particularly annoyed with question 2 where I gave the guy's full name and didn't realize they only wanted a single word. They marked it wrong. Grrrrr.

And my sympathies to woozy... the answer matching in this quiz is certainly frustrating at times.

I'm kind of finished with Thrice. When paper napkin is not accepted for Question #1, I'm out.
