Kind of weird beginning. I personally screwed up number 4. I'd complain about 5 that it didn't accept my more specific cow skull except to be fair, it turns out it was actually a deer skull so I guess I can't complain. Except I will. Really, they should program it so that if the intended answer is a single word and the entered answer is two words with one of the words the same as the single word that it is probably correct.
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.

All over the place with this one. #4 I am not a New Yorker. #3 I didn't get partial credit.

I'm really surprised that they accepted head but not cow skull.

Bleh. Doing this on phone and fat-fingered Q3 try 3. But haha that would have been just one point more.

Not the greatest but not the worse.

I made a dumb error on my first guess of the year one but it wouldn't have mattered. As for the first question, I am probably the only person in the world who gets The Bay City Rollers confused with The Coasters, aren't I? Wouldn't have made any difference.

So... anyone want to take a guess as to why I didn't get 3 points on the last question? Anyone?

I didn’t have that problem - I just didn’t know it.

Exactly! I had a pretty good streak going. Question 4 I did a WAG and *wow* it worked! I could get a 14! if I get a good question. ANd, oh, my gosh, that'd be a pretty strong guess but that hinted adjective makes it a locked in cinch. Here goes. Submit and... second question?!?!?!? Could have *really* been wrong? But the the answer to this is *still* ... oh...

This is a rather weird way to get an average score.
