I should point out, many European countries do use an H note. You don't need to change the quiz, since it's not used in English-speaking countries, but it's just something to point out.

Which is how Bach was able to spell out his name in a number of compositions. The notes B-A-C-H became known as the Bach motif.

I'm kind of surprised that the average isn't 100%. There would seem to be plenty of time to go through the whole alphabet on every question you don't know.

This really depends on how many questions you don't know and how fast you got the answers on the other ones. And don't forget that not everyone's mother tongue here is English. For example, I got the Q clue only because it was the last letter left. I still don't know what the clue for it means.

The term referred to is "mind your P's and Q's" which has different meanings pending where you're from. My understanding of it is a reference to drinking alcohol: mind your pints and quarts. For a person to be aware of how much they are drinking so they don't overindulge and can be aware of their behavior, language and etiquette.

That's what I've always heard, too. Because type had to be laid in the trays backwards, apprentices were told to mind their p's and q's so they didn't reverse them.

Agreed on the printing thing. The "pints and quarts" story was retrofitted onto this phrase after printing knowledge became more specialized knowledge and people were left with an idiom they didn't understand.

Might be worth specifying that the film rating is in America (it's a U rating in the UK, standing for "universal" - not sure about other countries)

Yeah, possibly worth allowing some type ins there. As @Bubblecat says, it is “U” in the UK.

A "W" is short for a "win". An "L" is a loss.

I've been playing music at least forty years, and that question still threw me because when it said "sheet" music, and not just music, it made me think of "volume" like a collection of pages of music, like a quarto or folio or some publication format, not dynamics. That's what happens to your brain when you pass forty.
