I think this rates under "you know you're a fan thread". When you get 22 out of 22 on a Beatles lyrics quiz wondering why they don't make it harder.

Thanks for the link Nim. It was fun.

I got 22 of 22 as well. Yes, thanks for sharing that link, Kevin. 

....technically, my score was 21, but that's because I was clicking too quickly. I knew the answer, but was rushing and I couldn't go back and re-do the question.  ;D

On the page with the quiz, did anyone check out the AHDN premiere photos from '64?  Also, I wonder whatever became of all the promo materials that were hung/mounted/displayed on the theatre facades?

I spend more time taking Beatles quizzes online than I care to admit. roll:) There's this one called "Figure Out the Lyrics" where you literally have to figure them all out. You just start guessing words and you have 10 minutes to get them all. So if this was too easy....

Wow, In My Life! That's a hard one! ( in intuitive for me!) I didn't understand how to play, only understood when I pressed "give up". I'll try again

<laugh> The same thing happened to me, KE! I sat staring at the screen for about 30 seconds with a blank mind, then quit. I understand now and will try it later (after a cup of coffee).

Thanks for sharing that, Kelley; it looks interesting and challenging.

I did not do well. Annoying. A good challenging quiz, though.

My first try at this went the same way KE and Kathy but now I can get them much of the time. I should have posted a disclaimer: Give up in order to succeed. Hmm...I think there's a life lesson somewhere in that advice!

That's a great quiz!  It's like playing Wheel Of Fortune but using words instead of letters.

I went back and re-tried this, was a little confused in that the text reads from top to bottom instead of left to right; also, I thought I'd be given a chance to guess the song title after a bit (just like, as Barry said, in Wheel of Fortune), but apparently you just try to fill in as many blanks as possible. I got "I've Just Seen a Face."

Thanks for sharing that, Kelley.

I'm glad it wasn't too frustrating. It's hard but once you get it you feel very smart!
