| The GOLQ Institute <list@golq.org>: Dec 10 12:50PM -0600 RESULTS and ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #334 (GOLQ334) Congratulations to our THREE co-winners, each of whom had perfect scores: Delphi Trivia Club, EJ'S & Co., and Mike Weaver. Kudos also to Will McCorry, Really Rockin' In Boston, and The Coasters, who identified all 25 songs in the main part of the quiz. As most of the teams recognized, the two characteristics of the quiz were: 1) "and" or "&" in each song or title; #25 and #T2 were "twofers" (both title and artist) 2) in the main part of the quiz, an artist for each letter of the alphabet, except for the letter "x." As always, thanks to everyone who entered! Mike Weaver has already posted the Dec 2014 quiz (GOLQ #335). -- Tom and Rick _____________________________________________________________________________ After each score below are two characters representing the two tie-breakers: + indicates a tie-breaker answered correctly. - indicates partial credit. x indicates a totally incorrect guess. . indicates no guess.
