Oh dear!

I got a duck in the second round of Popmaster this morning, for only the second time in 3 years of fantasy playing.

I got a not-too-bad 15 in the first round.

Has anyone else recently scored a nice round figure in this?

Ian.

I can't give you the comfort of saying that I have, Ian.

The second round was definitely much harder than the first today (got 36 in the first). The questions were nearly all pitched in the 1990s.

I've never actually recorded my score, perhaps I'll give it a go. Some days I do pretty well, surprising myself sometimes but once the questions get into the 90s I'm hopeless.
No matter what the questions were, I know I'd do badly live on air... Embarassed

Got 12 and 9 this morning--still not brilliant.

Shan't hear it for the rest of the week.

Have the questions got harder?

A few years ago, someone told me about this link. Its nothing to do with the quiz/show itself but should serve the purpose. Hope it helps: http://www.popmaster.co.uk/

Not seen that before, may give it a try if I'm near the PC when it comes on.

Today - 1st round: 12, 2nd round: 21.

In the twenties is pretty good for me. Never had a duck, though.

15 and 30 for me today - there usually is a big difference between the two rounds. I've never had a maximum, nor a zero, though I'm sure the latter would be easily achieved if I were ever tempted to try to do it live on air.

Got a 30 in the first round today. This included 18 easy points in the 60s groups questions.

My second round score was a more modest 15.

Again, the answer to the Hollies 'sole' no 1 disc question depends on which chart you use. The answer given by the contestant, I'm Alive, was correct but the NME gave the group an additional no 1 in 66 with I Can't Let Go.

A splendid session yesterday, with scores of 36 and 30. Mine were only 15 and 9!

Missed it today.

I got 27 and 9 today. The disparity really is weird!
