i just click on it and then select open rather than save. Its based on a spread sheet i think so if you dont have excel(?) then it may not work? do you have a spreadsheet?

I love speed :-P - 24/10/03 at 08:15 PM

"do you have a spreadsheet?"

yes i have microsoft exel?!?!?!?

whn i click it opens a new window with the following link?????

JoelP - 24/10/03 at 08:20 PM

I love speed :-P - 24/10/03 at 08:23 PM

Nope..

Mark H - 25/10/03 at 04:52 PM

Hmmm...I can't believe you've even heard of Christina Aguilera or Shakira (Roy Orbison perhaps!), so how did you guess them two (just two examples) without finding the =if statement!

But as you know the answers who's the blue haird one? I guessed Gary Newman but sadly not!

Joel - post the answers next week so i can have one more stab at it!!

Oi...I'm not THAT old.......

It's Gary Numan....got spell 'em right to work proper...

Also many need "the" at the front.....

Spyderman - 26/10/03 at 12:17 PM

my best so-far is 20.

JoelP - 26/10/03 at 12:41 PM

bloody hell, a post from the future! has someone not put clocks back yet?!

mine says it too. it 12.41 not 13.41! thats one that slipped by chrisw!

Got up to about 70, then my daughter cheated and now we have 95 out of 95.

Just follow the link at the bottom of the quiz to get all the answers - there are some I would not have figured no matter how long I spent on it - mainly because of references in the pictures to things which I had never seen.

greggors84 - 28/10/03 at 01:35 PM

Ive got the second one here

Ah...I see.....

But it's not how I solved it...

greggors84 - 28/10/03 at 01:50 PM

I found a way to cheat on excel, but i dont think you can do it on the second one.

Mark H - 28/10/03 at 01:51 PM

So AlanB,

We all know you cheated but question is how, then...?

Alan B - 28/10/03 at 02:20 PM

Oh...what a hurtful accusation....

I used creative problem solving techniques....nothing outside the rules (which were vague admittidly..).....

May tell you later...

There are some hard ones in the latest I can tell you...you will struggle...:

[Edited on 28/10/03 by Alan B]

JoelP - 28/10/03 at 03:36 PM

it says on the flipflop site that the second quiz isnt genuine. who cares i guess? a few easy ones though. Anyone spot neil kinnock?!

Alan B - 28/10/03 at 03:48 PM

I though Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was hard one.........
