Whew man. Got a wee bt a lot more a bit harder.

I'll put it down to the early hour (7 :00 am here)

Didn't get the theme (oops almost gave it away).

Yep - I figure it is harder, but again, there are normally clues in the questions, and each question/answer should give you an 'a-ha' moment, I hope:)

I hope #3 does not bring down the though police:)

Wow...this one is tough! Nie going. I'll put a link from my blog. Sorry for not noticing your previous comment.

Thanks Dude - I know you've been busy, with the little one, et al

Being the quiz widow I am barred from taking this quiz. Lame excuse...its a tough one. Didnt get even one.

Nice going Aaman :)

Thanks for another challenging mental workout. I did better than last time, though. Got 5 out of the 11 Stage I questions. Did you intend there to be 11 questions in that stage?

(I almost got 6, but can't quite take credit for question 2 because I couldn't recall the artist's name, only a certain other interesting fact about him.)

I managed to get half of the Stage II questions, but my guess on the connecting theme was way, way off.

One more minor note. If I recall correctly, the brother mentioned in question 9 was named "Lore". The question is certainly tougher the way it's currently written, though. I almost skipped it without even guessing.

Fun stuff!

That's a typo - I will change it to Lore. And the 11th q is another typo of numbering.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Do you see the thread that connects the answers to the theme?

Well, I can see the theme's connection to some of the answers, but not to all of them, probably because I lack certain necessary background information.

For example, I still have no idea who William Ware "Mack" Brazel is, or how his story might connect to that theme, even though I now know which military base was closest to his ranch.

Or maybe my problem is just not knowing enough about the theme itself, and perhaps that's where I need to do additional research.

Ok. explanation time for the Stage II

1. Kinda obvious - {x} features on the song, Stan by Em
2. Roswell Base is the term by which the "Alien incident" of 1947 is known, and the TV series of the same name uses one of {x}'s songs as its' theme
3. David Boreneaz, who plays Angel, appears on the video for "White Flag", another song by {x}
4. The 7 Up Character is Fido {x}
5. {x} latest album is "Life for Rent"
6. Queen {x} was the founder of Carthage

Ah, I see now. Not watching television left me ill-informed on the music videos and television shows.

In future entries you could put the theme connection explanations into their own set of separate drop-down items, after the one that reveals the theme.

Aaman,

Thanks for dropping by at my site.

Should shamelessly admit,my grey cells devoted to quizzing could muster only 3 of all the answers including the Connect ones.

Questions surely have the A-ha feel to it as you have mentioned.

Hope to see more of them.

Would surely link up - Why dont you devote an entire blog to quizzing !!
