RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #301 (GOLQ301)
Thanks and welcome back to several teams not seen much lately.
Seven teams tied for first this time, in order of receipt:
Roxie1971, Delphi Trivia Club, Mike Weaver, James White,
The GYPSY's CARAVAN, the EJ's & Co. and Lehigh Valley Trivia
Gang.
Two teams just missed by a tie-breaker: Ron & Sally Crandall and
Mick Tursky.
Three songs were difference makers:
- #T1 kept two teams from perfect scores.
- #09 stopped three teams from 500 scores.
- #23 was identified by the Top 11 teams and no team after that.
The median score was 500, the mean 443.
GOLQ302 will be posted shortly.
