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!

400
Nicely done, Jimmy!
200 well because
I’m pleased you got the simpsons clue, Neil!
100 please
on the board, Harrison!
Every little bit counts
500. I didn’t realise they dated back to 1990.
That was news to me too – and also why I decided to say ‘in the 1990s’ in the 500 clue, I think they would have been something like 9 years old in 1990!
They do have “child” in their name.
500 for me.
Terrific work, John!
400. Dang. Sarah will probably get 500. She is slipping away now!
Well predicted!
500! Heheh, bills bills bills….
The lead singer is such a great accounting teacher – with both bills bills bills (describing operating expenses) here & ‘everything you own is in a box to the left’ (the very placement of ‘assets’ on a rudimentary balance sheet) from her solo career!
…to the left, to the left…lol
I don’t think you’re ready for these points. 500 please
That score is indeed to point-y-licious for me, Steve!
Ugh. 200 only this week Geoff. Honesty sucks at times lol
I’m impressed each week by the honesty of the quiz participants, Deke – especially on the goose egg weeks, people are often brutally honest with comments such as ‘no idea’ ‘never heard’ ‘still don’t know after the translation’ !
You got a good crew around here Geoff.
Agreed!
400 this week on a blind lucky guess.
Well guessed, Paul!
Only 400 for me this week.
If 400 is ‘only’ – life (better yet, vacation life) is good!
Yessir! Vacation life is very, very good.
500 each for Mika and me.
Terrific work, Mika & James!
500. When it comes to staying up in the rankings I’m also a survivor!
With scores like that, you’ll keep Jumpin’ Jumpin’ up the leaderboard, Zack!
500 is please, but only if you’re ready for this jelly Geoff.
I’m fully prepared, Joe – exemplary work!
300 points please! Kelly Rowland was a judge on The X Factor US, so I knew who she was, but I had no idea the group was a thing (at first) because Beyonce has been solo for decades lol.
Well done, Lana!
Thanks so much for the quiz and for the boost, Geoff!
I’ll have 300 thanks to George
McFly!
“Why don’t you make like a tree, and get out of here?”
300 here.
Nice work on the Back to the Future clue, TVTA!
I get 500 points thanks to my buddy George in Montreal. He loved this act and sang it me. Often.
Well done, Aaron – and well sung, George!
I’ll tell him, he’ll be thrilled lol.
McFLY!!!!!
Strikeout for me this week.
To borrow a Principal Strickland insult, I’d call you a Slacker, Holen – but you bounced back nicely in week 29!
Full 500 points for me, Geoff. I may even have a CD or 5 kicking around here somewhere!
Owning the CD or 5 paid off, J!
