Congratulations! You got 10 right and 0 wrong.
The worst thing about that quiz was having to register first
I think that the final question was the hardest
Otherwise hard to imagine getting any wrong!!
And I suppose dear Witless of Whitby that you are gong to tell us that you got the wrong answer to the key question "who did Gord write "beautiful " for eh?? (which was not asked of course!!!)
John Fowles
Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

I got the EMR question wrong - who sang it first? I had a brain freeze....
All others were PERFECTION!
There's no sense in asking who BEAUTIFUL was written for - it's a well documented fact!
lol
MOI!

i think i read the EMR question wrong-i read it a couple of times too!
lol
DUH!

The EMR one was tricky because I don't think many in the US heard the first recorded version, being more familiar with the other (and I'm being deliberately vague in case somebody else want to take the quiz without hints.)

The soundtrack question was a process of elimination; two I knew for certain, one I was pretty certain, and the fourth I never heard of. I guessed right, though.

I wonder how many people they'll have taking the quiz?

From the results page:

"We will be e-mailing the 10 winners their signed copies of Harmony after November 29."

I'd like to see them accomplish that!

I got 10 but I did guess at the EMR, the only people I have heard do EMR PP&M and Gord.

Don't feel bad, I did the same thing!
I thought it was PPM...

yeah well, jj and I scored the same. we don't know dick, or gord. oh well.
I got the emr question wrong. sheesh. and I knew better. never second guess yourself. ah well. I'm not a detail girl. I belong to the school of "give me the music, then shut up so I can hear it!"
cheers

absolutely, lsh...let me bore you here...i started off the quiz thinking this will be easy, then realized it was kinda easy but with a few early exceptions it was still quite stimulating for an avid Gord fan (and i certainly don't know diddly compared to what so many of the folks here and at the ng do, then i got some buds who know real lots, like 'unhealthy real lots', lol)...

...but then i got just stupid with the EMR one and it was like getting asked one of those Trivial Pursuit questions where you immediately have your instinct direct you right but then you somehow go against it thinking "well, it can't be that obvious, it must be the other one, they're just trying to suck me in, i'm smarter than that!"... my brain was still having this unfinished discussion but in the time being my mouse was clicking away saying "ok, let's go, next question please"...lol, almost any Canuck GL fan would have heard of WHO and how Gord got that first break or exposure, shame, shame on jj...i'll sleep standing nose in the corner tonight, after re-reading ALL the text at Wayne's site and all the ng postings back to '94, lol

ok, i was still pouting about the EMR one while i was now into the process of elimiation one, but i never read the question really to realize it was process of elimination, i just glanced the choices, "HH" jumped out at me, i went back to the question for a glance and "soundtrack" jumped out at me, then i clicked away again just as my brain was saying "why don't you just take 5 more seconds to read the question" ...funny, so impatient... i had taken 10x as long to register as i gave myself to do the dang quiz, no stamina, premature quizulation...i just wanted my prize ASAP, typical male instant gratification syndrome... well, it also may be shrink time, that or overinhalation of diaper fumes...ok, gotta run, he's right on cue http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

The question about which lake confused me, and I had to look in the song, but the answer will still not jump out at you. Listen carefully and slowly.

Hi Charlene - - 'Beautiful' written just for you! I am consumed with envy - and I thought the 'moi' at the end of you message was just a signature. :)

I just took the quiz too! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif 10 for 10!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

The only one I had to really think about was The Edmund Fitzgerald question.

I had to go through 1/2 the song in my head until I hit the line,"Superior it is said never gives up etc. etc....

The question about which movie doesn't have his music was easy. I've seen "Love Story" and remembered it had none of his songs. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Hope I get a CD out of this! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

jj, I'm proud to stand with you on this one. yeah, I read your whole post, sorry. lol
I pretty much had the same experience, with the added bonus of my kid saying, WHAT?! what are you doing? you know that!!
ah well, patience was never my strong suit...

lol, wow, with he looking over your shoulder?
('he' is now a handsome man, not a kid! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif)

i certainly didn't have that added pressure but if i did he might have got a soft elbow jab at some point, lol...tolerating the loving family peanut gallery comments was never MY strong suit...

ps) hey, you should still win something for reading that longie post, kiddo...man, i can't believe that Bru included my entire post AGAIN when she made her mere 8 word reply, LOL!

I did the quiz too and got all the questions right. But on the final page it said "Congratulations, you got 1 right and 0 wrong." Did anyone else get that or did yours say you got 10 right? Just wondering and hoping there was not a technical glitch. I'd really like that autographed email album.

Sorry I didn't pay too much attention, I just remember 0 wrong. It could have said 1 instead of 10.
