Lol this was so much fun. I got 10 point — not bad, eh?

9! Drats! Need to eat more pasta!...or listen to more music.

Well, I did dismally. But probably a lot better than if it was beers and German composers...

 

[Ian Sutton]

10 here as well, mainly from a clearly better knowledge of pasta than composers!

Brahms and Liszt again?

But probably a lot better than if it was beers and German composers...

For the heck of it, I googled for one...hard to believe, but yes : there is a quiz for this as well !

And indeed I did worse than in the pasta test!

 

[Ian Sutton]

9/12 on the beers / composers.

 

[Tim W]

10/12 for beers, 12/15 for pasta.

A sad reflection of my priorities in life !

11/12 for the beers - but since I'm a musician who plays a lots of Stölzel, Graupner et al, I should have done well here. A disappointing 11/15/for the pasta one, though
