Comments
pre emailed the questions ? is this a joke article ?
No, what it means is that he was emailed the questions before I posted this article, and answered them in three minutes.
in three minutes lots of things can be googled
obv not the answer to #6.
Silly Amerikans and their lack of musical taste!
Alphabethis, you're absolutely right. But that's 18 seconds to Google each answer, and if you hit a dead end and a question takes you longer, it will show in your end result. Besides, I make the questions so that they can't be Googled easily.
