Entries sent. That wasn't so bad, actually; knew a good few of them and the ones I didn't know were ones I could at least make a (hopefully) decent guess at.

The "first video on MTV" one is bugging me though, because I know I've heard it before and just can't recall it now. I made a guess that sounds like it could be correct but also could be horribly wrong.

Mine is so so so so so so soooooo wrong :pac:

Got the mtv video mixed up with the American station ughhhh. I actually had the right answer and changed it.

Hadn't a clue on that one, just took a stab which is most likely horribly wrong :pac:

I enjoyed those questions more than I did yesterday's. Still doesn't mean I got them right, but I have better educated guesses for some of the ones I didn't know.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

I had a similar problem where I know both the first video for the US and the European launches, but couldn't confidently remember which was on which... Haven't checked it, but hoping I went with the right one...

I may have misread the question - I know the US launch, that is what I answered. Don't know if I know the European one so wouldn't have made a difference.
The sports questions really killed me though. They were terrible for me. All guesses. And probably all wrong guesses.

Answers in. Mostly wrong I'm sure. And anyone that knows Margaret Thatchers middle name needs to be hoisted by his undergarments from the highest flagpole around here.

I recently watched the crown and decided to google how factual things were and it was something that kinda stuck

We were made to learn essays in Irish about random world leaders in fifth class (This was around 1989). One of them was Margaret Thatcher. Some of those sentences are still stuck in my head in Irish. :pac:

Rugadh Margaret X Roberts i míle naoi gcead fiche cuig.......:D

Will you be posting the answers, after each round?

I'm still waiting for any lightbulbs, four hours after posting my answers.

I think I have the correct song for the MTV Europe thing, remains to be seen of course, I avoid googling the answers, for the element of surprise.

Very disappointed with myself on the music round where I thought it would save me. I couldn't remember who sang the Bond theme and threw a name which is definitely wrong. and quite a few don't knows (unless you are a Taylor Swift hardcore fan why would you know what farm she grew up in? )

Well seeing how Necro knew Maggie's middle name I'm fully expecting him to know Tay Tay's childhood farm too.

It's funny sitting here thinking:
1. Some of my answers are such embarrassing guesses as they are the only thing I can think of...
2. I know the answer to this question but I can't remember it right now...
3. I could do with a maths round, but that could be terrible too...

:pac:

When do the hard questions commence?

So what you’re saying is Maggie’s second name is the chemical element pb?

aaronjennings

That was much harder than yesterday's selection

See y'all in the Loser's bracket

You all can still change or answer any question you missed until the deadline.

Well Tay Tay’s farm didn’t feature in The Crown so there’s hope...

Hillybilly4

I couldn't resist Googling the answer to one of the questions I had not a clue about...

Not that it will make any difference - but just in case they are all moved up one

Can't get questions wrong if you don't answer them

I really struggled today and having just Googled after submitting I’m in trouble. Good score yesterday will hopefully save me but very bad today. Some I just had no clue and some 50/50s where I managed to pick the wrong one every time.

Booooo
