im stuck for answers on the remaining three questions, gotta leave it up to someone else to solve them I think...
come on Ruby, youre the resident "question/puzzle solver" on MD.

Maybe these were too difficult? The answers are in the OP, in inverted text in case anyone doesn't want to see "spoilers".

I donât think itâs that the questions are too difficult, per se, but I do think that they are rather obscure, and that there are too many variables. For example, Genesis could be the odd band out in question 2 as itâs the only British band whilst the others are all from the USA. Thatâs not incorrect, if you see what I mean, and if you look on any big music site youâll find tons of songs/tracks named âAsiaâ. The answer to that particular question would also not have been incorrect if someone had said Africa â itâs the only place name on the list that isnât the name of a band, as far as I can tell (I could be wrong).
The idea is good - it just needs to be refined, IMHO.

Anyway, I think you might be taking it a little too seriously. It was just a bit of fun. there are no prizes. Maybe someone else can try their hand at it.
