h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That didn't nearly go as well as I hoped it would. I'll try to remember these bits for any future pubquizzological experiences.

You could discuss about fiendishly versus archdemonically, but hard it was.

Hard it was indeed - well done for getting four points...

I had hoped there would be 8 fairly reasonable questions, but it is a Hitchhiker's specialist quiz...

I probably got the same four points (2,4,13,19).
Nice job though. Obviously difficult, but quite a few more I feel I might have got, albeit with the benefit of hindsight.

Quatre points is also a Dutch national trauma regarding Eurovision, years ago. (1994 I think)

As far as I remember, only Belgium awarded our entry any points at all. (4 to be precise)

Trauma had been wiped out, I guess...

Congratulations. And you didn't even need one of those bungee poles.

Yes, congratulations!

Thanks, although I am not actually the person who did the song, I just have a matching passport.

The satirical website I frequent headlined "First impartial vote on Eurovision since 1975!" (which was when the Netherlands won last time)

I didn't see the contest, though I watched as many of the videos as I could stand, which was about halfway through. I'm a musician, and I'd reached my limit...

I actually liked the Netherlands - or, at least, found it restful after some of the other performances.

Anyway, the next morning I opened UK Twitter, and knew instantly that the UK hadn't won. No Eurovision topic was trending.
