Hey Rohan, great quiz. I got 9 out of 10. I like the quiz.

I like the question/quiz. There are 3 that are giving me problems and would be a total guess.
Considering I want to be a Hubba-dubba-doo Champion, I will do a little more looking before turning in mine =)
Do we have any lifelines? Can we ask the audience, or maybe 50/50, phone a friend? I need help! lol
