Thanks for the quiz!

I did not see a requirement to specify which choice belongs to my answer, but I added the interstate number for the state I chose, and so on for most of them. It might help others if you declare that no letter or detail is needed. It also gives better odds for a lucky guess on the interstates or the phils I suppose .

I was not expecting to get a Singleton for either Melrose Place or Diana Ross.

For that matter, neither was I expecting John or Springsteen to be Singleton. I did, however, expect somebody to goof up the start of the Iran hostage crisis as the 1980s.

[threearruda]

I noted this to clt in the parting shots part of the entry form, but I found it fortuitous that I was listening to Bebe Rexha's "I'm a Mess" as I filled out the answer sheet (had not looked at the questions prior). Smug grin as I nab a singleton.

Edit to standings coming this afternoon - just discovered a form that was submitted before I began the reveal, so will adjust previous posts accordingly.
