Who Wants To Be A FoG Millionaire?

[E.N.]

I narrowed it down to 1 of 4

I have just the thing for you....

[Trigger]

I was going to ask the audience but realised I'm off out later and won't be checking phone n that so used a random generator

[Neowise]

Pretty certain I can narrow it down to two. I tried to toss a coin then but...

I think we will pause this for the weekend, I might not be around to reply to any lifeline requests on time.

Calling the Deaf person on a question about music

[cee_jay]

I was 100% certain when I submitted. Now I'm 90%. I'll probably be down to 75% by lunchtime...............

I was maybe 75% when I submitted, down to around 50% now. I should have used the 50/50.

[nothing]

I'm 100% unsure!

[E.N.]

Right, the coin toss didn't work so I pieced together my limited knowledge, applied some dubious logic and made an (almost) educated guess. I reckon I'm about 60% confident, so not bad

Got to save those lifelines in case I get to the business end of things...

[Neowise]

Calling the Deaf person on a question about music

omg....

Exactly, he wouldn't hear the phone!

[Leg End Reject]

The sad thing is I'm obviously older than all of you.

[ShaneU]

I thought Bridge of Spies was a movie? Tom Hanks in it maybe? Was it based on a book?

What I'm saying is don't phone me.

[E.N.]

Exactly, he wouldn't hear the phone!

Me, seeing Trig thank that post...

[ShaneU]

The sad thing is I'm obviously older than all of you.

My age was counted in months when this album came out

Whatever!

So, you're saying it's your fault if you pick the wrong album in your Walrus?

[E.N.]

My age was counted in months when this album came out

So was mine!





...ok, nearly a hundred of them, but still....

[Kol]

Ok everyone has given their final answer so we can go ahead with reveal.

I see it is a BH back home this weekend, so lets continue on Tuesday. Enjoy folks.

[E.N.]

Phew!

I knew The Cure were older than that and was fairly sure Depeche Mode were too

I thought the Saw Doctors debut was All The Way from Tuam but I just looked and that was their second album, got lucky there

[aaronjennings]

Thank you @Leg End Reject for the help on this one, I did not have a scooby-doo today

[nothing]

Holy smokes! @Trigger your guess was spot on!

[Wichita Lineman]

[Leg End Reject]

Thank you @Leg End Reject for the help on this one, I did not have a scooby-doo today

Shhh, you down as not having used a lifeline!

[aaronjennings]

Jeremy Clarkson-under-COVID rules, two Phone A Friends?

[Kol]

TBH, I had a different question lined up for today, though the consensus here seemed to suggest that the questions are getting too difficult to soon?

I thought everyone knew Carol Decker and T'Pau?

[Kol]

Sorry, have that x in the wrong column, you didn't use the audience yet did you @aaronjennings?

[quickbeam]

I know Carol Decker and T'Pau but I hadn't a clue of their album. I Asked the Audience today - a good choice, as there was no ambiguity in the result - 100% on T'Pau.

All questions are easy if you know the answer. I have found the last few more difficult than I'd expect. But then, a €32K or a €64K one might be a doddle to me because that's what I happen to know. Up to you to judge how difficult questions are getting @Kol .

[aaronjennings]

Shhh, you down as not having used a lifeline!

Sorry, have that x in the wrong column, you didn't use the audience yet did you @aaronjennings?

No, Phone A Friend today was my first lifeline used

As far as the questions being too hard:

It's only easy if you know the answer

[E.N.]

I thought everyone knew Carol Decker and T'Pau?

I think I only know China In Your Hand. Definitely didn't know any of their albums. Process of elimination and a little luck for me

The questions are tricky alright, but I'd say probably about right. This is about the point that you'd expect to start seeing people slip up

I recognised all the band names but that's it, but then I was only 2 in 87 lol. 

A question is only easy if you know the answer.

[quickbeam]

I was nearly a teenager in 1987 but it still didn't help me

[cee_jay]

Phew!

I knew The Cure were older than that and was fairly sure Depeche Mode were too

I thought the Saw Doctors debut was All The Way from Tuam but I just looked and that was their second album, got lucky there

This was my reasoning also. It couldn't be The Cure or Depeche Mode as they were surely earlier. It was down to T'Pau (all I know of them is China in your hand, and I remember my loving that song) or the Saw Doctors. I thought Saw Doctors would have been a bit later, and I thought their album had something to do with Galway. Very lucky here also!

[Zaph]

I was 20 in 1987, so this was one I knew straight away. If it had been an album from 2017 I'd more than likely have been screwed.

[quickbeam]

Age would actually have little effect on me. I'd probably do better with an album that came out before I was born than anything when I was "of age", as that's what I listen to most.

[quickbeam]

I thought Bridge of Spies was a movie? Tom Hanks in it maybe? Was it based on a book?

If it was a question on the film, I'd have been flying. I thought it was too, when I first started reading.

Starting to think Kol is just data mining now. Next week will be mother's maiden names and first pets!
