Am enjoying this quiz series heaps! But it's time to throw you a few X words: xaphoon, xiaoluo, xylorimba. No-one will get them but at least there'll be a change of scenery...

Yep, and there's also Xanadu, and XTC... I actually resubmitted Quiz 2 with a change, but quizmaster preferred the humour of repeating xylophone. So I have kept it as a running gag.

So far it seems to have been pretty easy. I got 3 wrong and only 56% did worse.

Got 100%, but totally guessed on a couple like Kiri. Was totally surprised, never heard of her.

I put dirge instead of lament, which I think should be an acceptable answer for funeral song
