From: Barry Silk Newsgroups: rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1960s,rec.music.rock-pop-r+b.1950s,rec.games.trivia Subject: Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #119 ANSWERS/RESULTS Date: Tue, 27 Jan 1998 22:27:53 -0500 Organization: CAIS Internet Message-ID: <34CEA5B9.E13B6FD0@cais.com> RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #119 (GOLQ119) Thanks to all who entered this "infantile" quiz. In case you hadn't noticed, all songs contained the word "baby" in the title. Congratulations to JYRKI ILVA & PEKKA HALONEN who missed a perfect score by one tie-breaker to win this quiz! Congratulations also to JAMIE LUBIN & NORM KATUNA who scored perfectly on the regular part of the quiz, good enough for second place. THE COASTERS and REALLY ROCKIN' IN BOSTON tied for third place each having missed just one song. Excellent scores were also achieved by MICHAEL GESSNER and DAN DiNARDO; THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN; TEAM ASIA; MIKE WEAVER, BEN BAGDONAS, GEORGE McCLELLAN; and MICHAEL FLINT who had the highest solo performance. Also, I want to congratulate my GOLQ teammate Scooter Magruder for finally purchasing a computer last weekend -- he promises that he'll even sign-up for an internet account next month! TP Uschanov will be posting GOLQ120 on Thursday, January 29, 1998. Again, thanks to everyone who participated! -- Barry Replace all occurrences of "&" in all e-mail addresses with "@". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tie Breaker Scoring Key + after numeric score below indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly. - indicates partial credit. x indicates a totally incorrect guess. . indicates no guess. # on Pos Score ID Name E-mail address team age(s) ---+-----+--+-------------------------------------------------------+-+------- 1 500.+ JI Jyrki Ilva, Pekka Halonen 2 30,30 2 500..

The 3rd number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song (total points divided by number of entrants, to 1 decimal place). For comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.

I did expect #17 to score higher and #25 to score somewhat lower. ______________________________________________________________________________ Barry Silk (To reply, first delete the word "omit" from the address.
