Mostly guesses...

A - 3
B - 1
C - 3
D - 2
E - 2
F - 1

[Vivienne]

Answers will be in a few days, once people have had a chance to try the quiz! You got 3 out of 6!

[MK Chris]

A: 3
B: 2
C: 3
D: 1
E: 2
F: 3

Mine are pretty much guesses two, though I know two are right.

[Vivienne]

3 out of 6, Topher!

[MK Chris]

I've just been checking answers and I reckon I got more than that...

[Vivienne]

You didn't, tophs... at least not according to my answers. :-0

[MK Chris]

Also, question A is ambiguous, you don't explain whether or not that is UK only or worldwide (or something else), on top of which, you say best-selling Christmas song that has been number 1. Does that mean that is there is a Christmas song that reached number 2, but has sold more overall than a Christmas song that managed number 1, the song that reached number 2 is excluded?

[Vivienne]

Question A = The U.K. Please don't be so tedious. It will be interesting to see who can get them all right! And, there's a trick question... but will anyone spot it?

[Console]

Well, presumably, the trick question is question d, as I happen to know that at least two of the answers are correct.

[Vivienne]

why don't you try them all, rather than just one! The trick question is indeed D because they were all born on Xmas day!

[Vivienne]

Are you trying to wreck my creation?

[Console]

why don't you try them all, rather than just one!

Because then everyone would know the correct answers and it would spoil their fun.

[Zoot]

Buggered that up ...

A - 1

B - 1

C - 3

D - 1, 2, 2

E - 2

f - 1

[MK Chris]

Ah bollocks I actually meant 1 for F, but I put 3. Rubbish.

[Vivienne]

O, so you've automatically got to have them all right, but are not willing to prove it!

[Vivienne]

Well done, Zoots! Best so far! 4 out of 6

[MK Chris]

I would have got 4 if I'd realised Mexico was option 1, not option 3.. I still dispute question D.

Not that I'm a sore loser.

[Console]

O, so you've automatically got to have them all right

Actually, I'm not sure about question b, is that another 'trick' question by any chance?

[Ballbag]

a) 2
b) 2
c) 3
d) 1,2,3
e) 2
f) 1

[Vivienne]

Question B is not a trick question. Please do my quiz, so I can correct your answers.

Or you could go two posts above and and realise that I'd already answered the questions correctly before Console.
