Egietje kosimodo Lplix littlequeenie97 n39 onedunpark pg Plengel NathanH Steve BrƎИsꓘi So, here we go, folks, the sequel you've all been waiting for - Short Cuts Quiz II. 😃 The above have been tagged for showing previous interest, but anyone can join in. Below you will find a small download to 40 snippets of Queen tracks that you need to identify. Some are straightforward, but some are not so. You may find bits of stems / multitracks, BBC versions, and some clips may be reversed or otherwise altered. In the spirit of the game, no assistance from audio editing software is allowed! Please PM me your answers - do not post answers in this thread!
You have until 10pm UK time on Tuesday evening (May 4th) to submit your answers, then all will be revealed. Please could you number your answers and leave a ? for any you don't know. This will make it easier to work out the correct scores - thanks. In a change to the last round, I will post the scores in this thread, but will send the answers to all those who took part in a separate group PM, as that will enable anyone else to do the quiz at a later stage, albeit just for fun. Oh, and there are two recently updated tracks where you will get a bonus point for the full correct track title, so 42 points are available in total. Download Here Good luck! 👍 Note - this quiz is now closed, but you can still do it for fun if you wish to. PM me your answers and I will let send you the correct answers by return PM.

Thanks LF. That's the weekend ruined 😂 Ha! 😁 One thing I forgot to mention is that these are all different tracks to those in the first game. |

Folks, having received one reply, I need to clarify something. The two 'bonus' points are for two tracks that have been recently updated in some way. 🙂

Thanks for doing this quiz but it's so much more complicated then the last one. I've got just over half of them so far I think.
It's really annoying me that I couldn't do last week's quiz at the same time as everyone else!

It's really annoying me that I couldn't do last week's quiz at the same time as everyone else! Particularly as you would have won! 😁 I don't think this one is any more complicated than the last one. The clips are just clips, the same as the last one, and there's no tricks except a few in reverse. Further, you can eliminate any of the tracks from the first quiz. The only difference is the bonus points, and for those, you just need to get the correct version of a couple of the tracks. And, you have longer to do this one. 🙂 |

this time I find it more challenging. I can't relocate the snippets decontextualized from the song (especially the stems) ...

There still seems to be a little bit of puzzlement over the two bonus points. There are two recently reworked tracks - recently being the operative word, and those are the ones that carry the bonus points, as they're both "fresh" remixes / reworks of older tracks, and have an extra word appended to their titles.

I'm sorry, but also this time I'm having difficulties to sit down and do the quiz. Better luck next time.

Will have my answers through before deadline. Some blanks in there and a few wild guesses. I had hoped being able to exclude previous answers would have made it easier. Clearly not. 😂

Thanks for organising. I was initially happy to be getting better, but this one was out of 40 so I actually did worse!!

That sounds like "the dog ate my homework!" 😄 worse than that. the reality really bites. Before now, I've actually written a small list of things to get from the local shop, return home from the shop with hardly anything off the list and then noticed...i'd actually left the list on the keypeg in the hall the whole time |
