So just to be clear the 46 in post 28 above get you a score of 46?Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.
Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
(Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)
Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change0 -
I suspect that someone at Parlophone has simply mistyped the entry and it bears no resemblance to the real answer - in which case we're doomed ...:wall:
Actually I think it's a case of bad programming. All the missing answers include either a hyphen or apostrophe. These have special meanings in strings. The hyphen is a word-break and apostrophe the start or end of a string. If the input is not handled correctly "Dexy's Midnight Runners", for example, will get changed to "Dexy".
The program then compares your input "Dexy" to the answer "Dexy's Midnight Runners" and decides it is wrong.
It this is the case there will be no way of entering the correct answer.

Right, I could've edited my above post, but I wanted to bump to say that we're nearly there. I am now at 49 out of 50. TOTALLY thanks to you guys. On my own I think I would've got 2 right
What I've done is to work on each answer one at a time, until that was right - by using what everyone wrote here, and occasionally with a little googling and checking on Amazon. The only one I haven't got right (yet) is #25. Other than that, my list is definitely right.
Thank you to everyone above, for posting the comp, and working on the answers. The first one to get #25 right wins this year's MSE gold star :T:T:T:T:T:T

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally got 50/50 :j:j:j:j:j
Well, to be slightly more honest, 'I' didn't. My bruvva did. #25 is: Spirit of Eden. Clearly this is a mistake as that album cover is completely different, but my bro suggested trying their other album titles and this one worked. So I guess he gets the MSE gold star.
Happy New Year everyone, and hope one of us wins this...

This might or might not apply, but I had probs with this quiz because I kept forgetting that every time you click on an answer, it disappears. So it took me ages to get used to having to position the cursor right, i.e. on the next answer before going back to the page I was copying and pasting from. I suggest you try again. I'm like 99% certain that if you copy and paste the answers I've compiled (from everyone's hard work
) they should all be right - but perhaps peeps will pm me if that isn't the case and I'll edit my list? I am brave, I am bruised
