Snippet Contest | Results are in!

Post by Fredd-E »

Can you identify the 30 selected songs? http://bocpages.org/wiki/Snippet_Contest

Credit to Cupz for the co-op on this one!

The solution and some fun insights will be shared 22nd of March 2017.

PS: Yes I've shared this contest before, April 2016, but I never shared the solution and didn't have a page up on bocpages etc. I'd also would like to have a bit more entries.

The only one I don't know is 17. Also, one answer appears on two records. So do you put the one that came first?

I know what you mean, but you're not completely right. It's a trick question. :)

You scored pretty good btw!

Nice challenge! That was a lot harder than I expected.. I just spent an unreasonable amount of time filling it out. :)

Aw man, I just realized what the trick probably is, knowing the track.

Still, I have confidence in the majority of my answers. Hopefully I didn't pick any wrong albums while being sleep deprived!

tho must confess i used it for a couple of times... but the reason of the quiz is to test your boc knowledge, so take this in mind

Are points being recorded or should we take note of our answers ourselves to tally up the answers when they get posted?

I am probably a bit over-enthusiastic about this as I love a bit of trivia on a subject I am insanely well versed in.
Its like telling my ten year old self that there is going to be a Star Wars (Original 3) quiz at the school after lunch.

Everything in the form is automatically recorded in google spreadsheets.

I've already prepared some statistics. What to expect next Wednesday? http://bocpages.org/wiki/Snippet_Contest#Insights

Also I will not publicly disclose everyone's score. Don't think everyone would be ok with that. But people can just ask me either in public or private and I will post their results. ;)

hopefully i am not the only moron

but did anyone else listen to the sample recording, and immediately think at the beginning, the voice saying "1" was a sample?

like i seriously sat back and thought to myself, "I've never heard this voice in any BOC track". then by the time the voice got to the number "3" i realized it was counting out the samples, not an actual sample itself. not exactly my brightest of moments.

Not this time around but for the first snippet contest I thought for a second that it was a sample from a boards song that I must have magically missed out on, oui.

Ha- I did. I was like, damn, this is going to be hard. Turned out a lot easier than I thought- unless I think I did a lot better than I actually did.

Fredd-E- you can tell me publicly or privately- thanks to you and Cupz for the game.

Yay! (-:
I am fairly confident now.
Really in depth analysis of the results, well done imo.

Can you confirm that I got 100% and I am a boss ?
(fingers crossed)
