RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #251 (GOLQ251)
Due to some careless scorekeeping on my part, I miscalculated the scores
for two entrants. Each e-mailed to say their scores were suspiciously high.
There was a three way tie for first between Randy Price & Peter Morley,
Really Rockin' In Boston, and The Village Idiots. Each of these teams
identified all twenty-seven songs on the quiz. The Coasters missed only
a tie-breaker. THE GYPSY'S CARAVAN and Delphi Trivia Club just missed
perfect scores.
The median score was 460. The mean was 441.
Thanks to everyone who entered.
