Fun quiz! I like how you can strategise if you're not 100% sure.

Great quiz but I think 5 years might be a bit too generous.

Agreed. 5 years basically means you get it right if you know the right decade. 2 years feels like it would be more of a challenge.

Well, as a matter of pure math, two years would certainly be more of a challenge. I don't think it would improve the quiz though. It's not much fun to get killed before you have a chance to guess half of them. Just pat yourself on the back for getting within a year or two.

That was awesome! But there's no way Mr Brightside was from over 20 years ago. Is there?

Margin for error is way too forgiving, this test should either be sudden death or only allow 2-3 years off

I really didn't think YMCA was that old. Hard to believe it will be 50 in a few years!
