Is it embarrassing that I only know two??

No. Well, it depends on which two you know, I don't know yet. I promise you will get more than 10 points.

I've just discovered another cover, but i've already sent my guesses. How can i change them?

by **Chun** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 4:02 pm

^ Send me your new discovery and I'll add it to your score.

by **Timmy94** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 5:00 pm

I know 6 covers so far...
I'll PM them later and I'll think about the others in the next few days, haven't got a lot of time atm!

by **ThomyX** » Mon Oct 24, 2011 5:32 pm

I managed to find out some more. 8-)

Sent my guesses!

This round is harder than the last one. It took me some time to figure out the #1 cover, and it's very easy.

by **Chun** » Tue Oct 25, 2011 5:19 pm

10 answers so far. Round 2 might be harder than round 1, (not sure about that yet), because right now it's got only 2 covers known by everyone. But, none of round 2's covers seems to be as hard as was Peter Gabriel - Us.

It's not time yet! I'll do it this evening, round 2 closes at 6 p.m. I hope Alex will join. In the meantime, why don't you go there and write something, Cactuar?

I had to do this. Feel free to discuss how excited you are to get the results today.

Round 2 is over.

The results are coming soon.

by **Chun** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:12 pm

ROUND 2 - Results

Thanks to all 18 participants! Round 2 was a bit more difficult. Cover #5 was mistaken for Gorillaz - Plastic Beach, Kings Of Leon - Come Around Sundown, and The Lion King Soundtrack :lol:

Now that was creative! Only cover #9 was recognized by everyone, so no points for that.

Apart from that, covers not guessed by everyone are worth points: e.g., 13 out of 16 (83 %) guessed #04 right; that means you get 100-83=17 points for that. To avoid draw positions in the ranking, I preferred the earlier posters and gave out +1 point per weekday left until deadline.

Congrats to Cactuar and RunDevilRun, both got all 10 covers right! Also, I'm pleased to welcome a new participant, the host of season 2, Sinnec!

#1, i knew it! :evil:

But still, i didn't fall that much.

by **Rutter** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:36 pm

Katy Perry! that was hard

You really took this game to a whole new level, Love it

by **ThomyX** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:38 pm

Woo, I cracked the Top 10! 8-)

It was a great round.

by **RunDevilRun** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:39 pm

Yes, this game is really good. You're the best host so far.

#1, #3 and #8 were the hardest one for me.

I agree. They are the 3 I failed to get in that round hence my fall to #7 :-?

Well done on getting them all though 8-)

RunDevilRun. I was so sure I would get highest score this week!

Thank you for updating, this game is way too exciting! :lol:

Bring on the next round!

You didn't get No. 3

!
OK, it's not easy but there's a greater chance that you'll find it than e.g. No. 5 or No. 10 (which aren't well known), so I'm surprised that you found them out over that one...

Still this round really was not that easy!

by **Chun** » Sun Oct 30, 2011 9:48 pm

Thank you for all the replies. It's fun to read them.

I made Katy Perry extra hard to find out because it is so well-known.. and it worked out fine. Timmy, I also thought #3 was easy. How many other albums are all the way pink?

Round 3 is coming right now.
