Found this on one another forum, and really looked like a good idea...so perhaps some of you'd like it as well.

The Quiz will be in three parts.

First part will be random questions one. Second will be 'Guess the song from lyrics', and third simply 'Guess the song'. I've posted on my site 15 song clips, with each of them at around 5 second lenght. And all of them are from start of the song. 64kps, not much, but blame that on my host. And anyway, it's not about quality.

One more thing. It would be nice if you answer, to answer with 'hidden' text, meaning add font colour tags of white for text you're writing. (color=white)Answer here(/color), and just replace () with [].

Hopefully there'll be no cheating, cannot see when one does, and this should be fun 'competition' anyway...just play nice, ok?


Good luck to all of you that will play!
