) Fragen und Antworten des im vorigen Beitrag erwähnten IMFD-Quizes, nunmehr beendet, die Siegerin mit 28 richtigen Antworten steht fest. Meine Quote waren 26 Richtige (leider war man mit meiner zwar richtigen, aber leider den Kern der Frage nicht treffenden Antwort zu Nr. 25 nicht einverstanden, ebenso erging es mir mit Nr. 18, die ich zwar sehr ausführlich, aber leider mit einem falschen Adverb versehen beantwortet hatte, von den drei gefragten LPs aus Frage Nr. 16 konnte ich nur eine komplett mit Titel und Interpret bennen, bei den anderen beiden benannte ich nur den Interpreten bzw. die Band und leider habe ich bei Frage 29 immerhin gewusst, dass es ein Sonntag war, das Datum jedoch war für mich beim besten Willen nicht erkennbar) ... es war alles in allem enorm schwer.
