i didnt realise at the time that the non famous artists were famous politiicians. if it was just 'art students' versus famous artists i think i would have faired better. better than my attempt at the literature quizzes anyway! all mine were well below 50%...

Some of these are misleading. For example, the music one: some of the recordings are so old or just low fidelity...plus, just because a certain performer is considered a virtuoso doesn't mean they play a particular piece well, let alone in that particular instance. I only got two wrong on it, and one I think fits in that latter category. I didn't mistake the Glenn Gould peformance, though. Still, all the recordings should've been recent enough to have been originally printed on CD.

The only lit one I did was Dickens vs Bulwer-Lytton. Though not having read any Dickens besides small blurbs, and only recently having heard of B-L, I could pretty much tell between them cos the latter's doesn't flow, with distractive punctuated phrases being markers.
