This is awesome!

[Sooh]

Glad you like it

Excellent quiz, Sooh!  I'll try to get my answers in this week (I know I can't answer them all so I'm keen to see the answers to the ones I don't know at the end of the week).  

[Sooh]

Good! I hope I'll see many answers. You don't have to know them all to respond, but I had to make some a bit challenging as well. And I tried making the quiz as diverse as I could, but I know I could have done better...

[Mystica]

holy cow, some of these are quite challenging...... *chews on Daruya's nails*

[Panchi]

Unlike Tina's quiz, at least this one isnt one where I dont know even a single answer.

[Sooh]

Well that's good then... some easy, some challenging... *pats self on the shoulder* good job... now let's see who can answer these

[Panchi]

I will try to answer once I start seeing images instead of question marks.

[Sooh]

Are the images not showing for you? I can put in links to where I found them if that's better...??

[Elgee]

Oh lordy now I have "Single Ladies" earworm ... lol

 

*Goes to ponder*

[Sooh]

Well.. it's Thursday and so far no answers have come in... 

[Elgee]

Sent the answers to those I knew (though I had to cheat on no 8 because I hadn't a clue what her surname is!).

[Sooh]

Well you are officially in the lead, Elgee

[Daruya]

Getting ready to send mine in.  However, my score will only be 50% or below! LOL!

[Yates]

I just saw this quiz. My answers may as well be the answer sheet. Seriously. I rocked this. You can see my halo.

[Sooh]

Nice reference, Yates...
