The Glittering Prizes
Grand total of 1/7 for me.

I surprised myself by getting 4/7. I knew the Tom Lehrer one, and one other; the rest were guesses.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

6/7. Not so hard. Missed the conductor question (although it was easy to narrrow it down to two).
GAH!

3/7 but I would have done better if only I would (ever) learn to go with what I think it might be rather than think that because I think it might be it's probably not.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: The Glittering Prizes
I got the exact number that I knew
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.

6/7 for me...WooHoo!
I got Solti because he's the only one whose name I recognized; the Alice in Wonderland I actually knew, and the Lehrer/Kissinger was pretty easy. The other three were WAGs.
BTW, Gob, thanks for posting these; I enjoy them (even when I do so badly I'm embarrased to admit it!).

I was pretty sure it was Solti, guessed on most of the others and got 4/7

Re: The Glittering Prizes
My worst score to date, 1/7...
The only one I got right was the Kissinger question....
Bad day of guessing...
