Scoring Round 2

Okay, after going thru the musical quiz (which is still open) again I have updated with new people (marked in green) and also made some scoring adjustments. These were up for everyone except me. I docked myself points for the #4 that I’d thrown in because I knew the song but had to research the musical. I made other corrections from things people had added in after I corrected the badly phrased question.

Now, with the addition of paulrhume pointing out that I missed songs in the soundtrack for bonus question 5 in round 3, I will give everyone a chance to take that one again. It is all the songs that appear in the answer to question 2 of the first bonus round. The space will be at the bottom.

With all the adjustments now and so far… I’m not the top score. So below the cut… the new scoring and one more chance for people who’ve already gone thru the quiz (as well as new quizzers) to rack up some last points. Good luck!
The latest scoring and NEW LEADER

I posted 3 rounds as 3 separate polls. Be careful. A couple of people have been tripped up by only hitting one submit and not entering their answers to the other two polls.

Please go back and make sure that a reload of the quiz page shows everything filled out.

My apology as this is the first major poll-thingee that I’ve posted.

Also:
Round 2 bonus question 2 should be answered here
Round 2 bonus question 4 should be answered here

And thanks to paulrhume, I missed 2 songs entirely from the soundtrack. Scores will be adjusted at the next posting later tonight.

A quick conversation

Me: “You know I’ve never read Lovecraft”
Heather: “I have them all”
Me: “You know that explains so much”

Okay. This one came off about as hard as I figured it would. Several people have attempted it and everyone did better than I expected, except on bonus round 1, question 2 which I thought was a dead give away.

Then there is of course yourtoy who has blown my mind. Knowing the answers to 4, 6, and 11 is absolutely stunning. She also managed to correct me on Bonus round 2, question 5. I just shook my head for my mistake and gave up 5 points (1 of 4) and gave her the 10 bonus points.

Then she and celebrin went on to work on my memory of Sunday in the Park with George. I misphrased the question. Below I have the question I intended to ask which may be more apparent.

Running scores…

EP : Error points. You get those for finding mistakes I made.
