“We’re doing a sequel…And everybody knows, The sequel’s never quite as good”
– The Muppets, We’re Doing a Sequel

With the weekly quizzes, it’s true, the Sunday quizzes will be back for a sequel.

And in terms of my questions, chances are that the above statement will also be true & my quiz questions will be somewhat inferior this year.

However, the above statement could not be more false with regard to the new logo by Sarca.

Her logo from last year was exemplary, this year her logo is equally exemplary!!

Ready for Quiz #1

To quote OK GO, here it goes, here it goes, here it goes again!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!
