Which one of them is that guess for?
Given the background, it'd have to be one of the top left, but it isn't a correct guess for any of those.

Also given that both the correct and wrong icons are in bold colour rather than greyed out, the image doesn't indicate whether correct or otherwise. Not only that, in my browser, both remain greyed until the dots above disappear and it comes back with either correct or wrong, I'm not convinced it's a valid straightforward screenshot.

So, if that's been edited, I'd suggest the overall score of 46 out of 50 has also been edited/photoshopped.

If people really have got more than the 9 correct that most seem to have (and especially if they have 46), then the lack of anyone willing (and I suspect able) to provide even a single additional correct answer beyond the common 9 is a strong indication that there are only 9 correct answers and the "quiz" is a wind-up.

I was basing that on what C&C was saying.

I thought that single shoe might be a Cinderalla reference.
Cinderalla = Dexys "midnight runners"? Not a hope. Still only 9 mad
That was a glass shoe, but good thinking, I'd got nothing for that. Elvis Costello and Kate Bush both had songs about red shoes, but it's not them either.

I wondered about the crack in the pavement being somebody Fisher (fissure), but I've tried Carrie, Climie and Fischer-Z without success.

Do you think some images might relate to famous singles / albums rather than the performer? I tried the obvious one ("Yes" for the Fragile-labelled cardboard box) ages ago but of course it isn't.

I'm to blame for bringing it here, a friend who is a proper Mensa type and wins virtually every pub quiz said it was difficult, she wasn't wrong...

Maybe, though the basic nine are quite obvious and point to the artist rather than one of their songs. Except for "Metallica" - I must admit that while it's obvious now, I didn't get that until I read it here. I tried Terence Trent-D'Arby for the box, for "Delicate", but wrong.

New comment says that the chimp is a particular one, not just a chimp. I started looking for artists whose name is "Jim P"-something, but got nowhere. Presumably the chimp is Bubbles, but that hasn't helped me.

It does like more and more like it might be a wind-up, but then someone said earlier there was another quiz about tube stations that presumably wasn't.

Ok - if that is the case and you've actually got 46 correct (in which case I'm extremely impressed), then can you provide one of those answers in addition to the following 9?

Spice Girls
Elton John
The Beatles
Rolling Stones
Bruce Springsteen
The B52s
Bruno Mars
Metallica
Guns N Roses

Sorry to be a bit cynical, but it just seems strange that there are several people on here who have all got the 9 above relatively easily, yet are completely stuck on getting any others.

But more than happy to be proved wrong. smile

If you view the source code, you'll see the list of people who have completed it is just plain text entry, not a dynamic or auto-updated list.
