Yep, except Tangerine Dream and Jazz Fusion. But I'll do those later. Also I answered 'Icelandic' first, but had to have another go just to get a perfect score. Sounds good. Oh, wait... so did you take the quiz more than once? The first time only will show as a score, not anything else. I didn't finish it the first time. I know it's technically cheating, but I answered correctly and it was wrong, so I think it's justified. Oh, crap... you can't do that because it stops taking points where you stopped, and doesn't add any more onto that. But that's okay, I can figure your score out, and now you know. Did you do that on any other quiz? Only did it on the post-rock one. But I closed the tab and started again after that and I did get the highest points. Anywho, I should go to bed. See ya later.

Okay. I can't put your score up yet though since the one it shows me is all faulty now. I'll send you a message on FB and we'll get that one sorted out.

Oh dear. The master of post-rock might have 0 points.

I was wondering why his score was as low as it was if he answered over 15 correct.

It's because it's his score up until that question. I can figure it out though, especially if he remembers his average response time.

It doesn't matter how many times you play it afterwards, as far as I'm aware. Yes. He restarted the game after the Sigur Ros language question... I think that was about halfway through.

I'll get his proper score though, especially since he quit because my question was technically incorrect (which it was, Icelandic barely outweighs Hopelandic)---so once that's sorted I'll update more of his scores tomorrow.

Yep, it was halfway through.

His posted "score" is 1586, so that sounds right.

Simple. Extract the average score out of 1586 (related to how many question did he answer up to that point), and apply it to the result of 20 out of 20. Best solution, methinks.

I can do math, me.

The post rock thing went pretty well too, I just did it  Have you counted the number of Vonlenska songs versus Icelandic songs of Sigur Rós? Yeah, I made an error there and someone corrected me; there are actually more in Icelandic. I'll give you some extra points there as well since you pointed it out. I'm pretty sure there's more in Icelandic... And it's Amiina, not Aniima  Oops, typo.

I was thinking the same but luckily I went for Vonlenska as the answer.

Gimme a heart. Gimme a soul. Gimme a heart.

Hey Epi....if you get a chance to try this stuff called Surly "Furious"....give it a shot.  I really liked it....but let's just say it didn't like me.  Good micro though....LOTS of flavor.
