Some answers require the full names and some don't. For example, I typed just Bo and I got credit for Bo Diddley, but when I typed Harrison there was no credit. Until I typed George Harrison. And every name had to be spelled perfectly. For example, Randy Rhodes is not accepted, but Randy Rhoads was accepted. I still scored 59/100. Oh well, thanks for the quiz.
