Question I, name a Beatles song title that starts with the letter I. After seeing how many bonus songs there were, I realized I probably should have only counted songs that start with the word I. Live and learn.

Now we get to bigger variations because of wrong answers.

In the interest of completeness, my answer of "(The) End" was not listed, although it appears that it was included in my score.

[BobF]

Question 6, name a Beatles song title with six letters, six words or six Os.

This should have appeared earlier as it doesn't really swing too many scores. I had marked something wrong that I now see is correct.

Unfortunately, I have no internet at home this weekend, so this will be the last reveal until Monday. I offer all the participants a sincere apology and wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving (probably my favorite holiday).

[BobF]

I don't seem to appear in the answers here.

Will fix shortly, I transposed things on my spreadsheet. There WAS a wrong answer and you are the one who never gives me your money.

[Vermonter]

Unfortunately, I have no internet at home this weekend, so this will be the last reveal until Monday. I offer all the participants a sincere apology and wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving (probably my favorite holiday).

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Bob, and thanks for running this game! It's reassuring to see I probably wouldn't have gotten many bonuses had I spent a lot of time thinking about them.

[BobF]

I apologize again for the delay in scoring, things have been very busy at work and I just got my home internet access back up (although I won't really be home much this evening, I have plans with my son for the evening). I plan on doing a bunch of questions tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience.

[BobF]

Question C, name a Beatles song title that starts with C, ends with C or has 2 or more Cs

This was one where I had a singleton after 10 entries (at least I think so, it's been a while), but ended up being a huge sheep. Only 6 songs were chosen, so I think I'll list the unchosen songs this time as well. Also, we had a 3 way tie for the number of bonus songs.

Only 2 questions left in the reveal and I will finally finish this tomorrow. Here's another bonus question for anybody who has a positive score. One guess per person, 2 point reduction for correct answers, and there are four titles

My last question mentioned the lines "Black, white, green, red, can I take a friend to bed"

Name one of the 32 Beatles songs that contains "black" or the one that contains "red". There is no Beatles' song that contains the word "red" just those three letters in order, in the same word. Similarly, black can be part of a word.

[sarah0114]

Baby's in Black

[jgamer]

Blackbird

[Abraxas]

I'm So Tired

[BobF]

Baby's in Black

Blackbird

I'm So Tired

And there you have it. Two point deductions for sarah, gamer and Abraxas.

Now that I asked one that favored those not on the east coast, let me ask another. Five more colors are named after "Can I take my friend to bed". For a 2 point reduction of a positive score only, one guess per person, name them.

Before I get to the last two questions, I'm going to compile a list of all of the songs named for bonus points. That way, I can get extra sets of eyes on them to make sure all bonus points I awarded were done so correctly. I will just list the songs without the names of the entrants (although in most cases, they were named by more than one person).

[Abraxas]

pink

[jgamer]

yellow

[brainpower]

orange

[Vanya]

and blue! I love you.
