Hesi Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Finally, will kick this off. Computer problems, such as a CPU over heating and struggling along with Windows XP, finally came to a head, and have upgraded to a new computer!! I was going to make this a comp, whereby you PM the answers to me, but I think everyone enjoys the interplay, so it will be a free for all. First to get the correct answer scores the points, person with the most points wins. The early birds may get some of the easier 1 pointers, but plenty of hard questions and good point scorers Will run it for 2 weeks, with a $100 bet as the prize. Any unanswered questions, will open up with a few clues 26 Music questions, have left a few easy ones in, and there is enough melody left with the rest to get you there.
