Pencils down! The arbitrarily assigned time limit is up.

This quiz was fun for me to put together, I hope you all enjoyed it (and thanks to those who have already said that you did, your checks are in the mail). In terms of difficulty, it was exactly what I was aiming for. Nothing went unanswered, at least one person got every song/artist. I was worried some may be too obscure, which is why I ended up giving some hints. (I'm guessing I gave a few of you at least one point with that Black Eyed Peas hint.)

And now for the winners:

Second runners-up, with 15 points each: Tayster and Becky

First runner-up, with 16 points: Wendela

The winner, and newly crowned omarphillips.net name that tune champion of August 2006, with 17 points: Jonathan

(I had this whole paragraph written out about Jonathan being a lurker, and then as soon as I saved the draft of the post, he left two comments. So jonathan, either you have good timing, you're a mindreader, or you've got a key logger on my laptop. Fess up.)

There were several song-version issues that came up when scoring, but the most significant is with regard to song #2. Tayster and Cadiz guessed "Stutter" by Joe. First of all, I'm deeply offended that either of you two thought I had a Joe song in my iTunes playlist. Second, while the Joe song that used that beat was not the correct answer, I couldn't verify with 100% certainty that the 15 second clip I posted does not occur in Joe's song. After almost giving in and awarding them the two points each, I found an answer. In my original post, I indicated that no songs since 2000 made the quiz. Joe's "Stutter" originally came out in April of 2000, while the remixed version including this beat was released even more recently. (Those two points would have given Tayster a share of the title, so that's why this one clarification was necessary.)

Thanks for playing, internet.
