    I lead a fantastic team of trivia and quiz writers who churn out everything from pop culture and personality quizzes to general knowledge and the occasional oddly specific factoid. Sometimes, I drop a challenge for you myself. I'm especially into anything involving math or logic puzzles—basically, anything that makes your brain do a happy little dance, or gets you frustrated because you definitely should have gotten that right.

    Yeah I only got 11, and some of them were guesses, TBH. The problem is that those of us who lived through that period have another 40 years of memories on top of all of those, so the years all merge together. Only those with an association with a specific event have a chance of being year-perfect. The rest are like, yeah, was living at that house, remember it on that holiday, at that place of work, but could have been recent or from a year or two earlier,..

    If I'd been in high school or college I might have done fairly well, because it's easier if you can relate a past event to other significant events. Once you're out of college those significant events seem to be a bit less common. And, of course, every one of those songs is from at least 35 years ago and a couple or almost 45. If you thought a song from '81 was from '83 that 2 years is an error of less than 5%.

    Look it's not like I cared enough at the time to pay attention to the year each song came out in, it was pretty much a blur tbh.
