See if there is interest for this.

1. Each day I will post 10 questions, at random times of the day.
2. Each Quiz runs exactly 24 hours.
3. The first person that has all 10 questions right, wins. Or if no one has all questions right, the best one wins.
4. You can only post answers ONCE for the same quiz.
5. No cash involved. Just glory. :)

It probably was Jane, Paranoid Android (still love that det name), as I made Rose up. :)

Della: all right except,
1: was from beginning of WN post to the time I posted the questions. So lot more than 0...
3, 9 & 10 which were skipped.
I admit my response to 9 would be similar, but not the required answer... half points perhaps.
(4. Is Croesy2002 but I'll accept Croesus as maybe that's his Latin name.)
I'll post full answers at 'clock-over' so someelse can have a go :)

Ugh! Did it from memory, and my memory for names is something else again sometimes. Croesy was what I meant. Could see the pic in my mind, but I get a little dyslexic at times. *grin*
I misunderstood the question on bumps for the WN post. Thought you meant from the time you posted the questions. *grin* Mea Culpa

As for #9. NOT a rap fan. *grin* half points more than I expected for that answer.

Saw a Black Eyed Peas cd in the store today when I was looking for the new Andrea Bocelli cd. Thought of this quiz. *grin*
