skybluesky Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 I know. I can't help myself, especially when it comes to a song I love. Fun quiz. I should know the one about Travis, as a Travis fan, but I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 The letters to the correct answers gives the 3-word solution What do you mean by that? 3-word solution to what? I got all the answers and the corresponding letters don't spell out any words. Oh, and the reporter used the word 'hairstyle', not 'hair-do', for Question #3.
