Rolling Stone's Almost Impossible Rock 'n' Roll Quiz

I got a 41. My friends and their friends got scores from 35-46.

Here's a partial breakdown of my answer key - don't worry, gives nothing away:

----------------------------------------------------------------

Solid "Knew it": 6, 9, 12, 18, 29, 34, 40 (thanks, Latin class!), 41, 42, 43, 51, 54, 55, 58.

Pretty sure I "Knew it": 3, 5, 8, 15, 16, 38, 57

Reasoned it out/"educated guess": 14, 26, 35, 36, 37, 48

Guessed right: 7, 10, 13, 19, 31, 32, 46

Guessed wrong: 1, 2, 4, 11, 17, 20, 21, 24, 25, 28, 30, 33, 39, 44, 45, 47, 50, 52, 53, 56

WTF?!: 27

I forget - enough already, I've got patients waiting (D'Oh!): 22, 23, 49

----------------------------------------------------------------

I haven't figured out the scoring on this one, and it seems suspect. Once, when going back a second or third time to try to figure out the scoring, it gave me 5 points for just looking at the answer key. I answered nothing and would have expected a zero, of course.

Anyway, have fun! Happy Friday, everyone!

Sorry, JP. I took the quiz and scored a dismal 27. Some of those questions were just ????

Ok, that makes me feel a little bit better... I scored a 26...

I got a suprisingly high (for me) 29. I was guessing on everything until #31. I got 11 out of 30 guesses right, so maybe I was able to rule out at least an option in some cases, or I just got lucky since I should have had about 7 or 8 right with a 1 in 4 chance on those.

Only ones I knew for sure were 31, 40, 45. I wasn't sure, but felt pretty good about 24 (so I guess I had 1 before 31) , 34,39, 42.

Yeah, the quiz has some weird stuff, and it's stacked in favor of old-timers like me and Jack.

Check out my friend Beau's original blog post about this quiz. Some of the comments are pretty funny.

Got a 39, better than I thought I would. Missed one or two that I realized I should have gotten.

Yes I'm old. \:\)

24 Correct - But again... I'd either have to be older or Cliff Claven for most of those...
