If these are the kind of ? they ask I'll pass... why don't they ask what kind of motorcycle Paul was driving when he busted his lip & tooth... now thats a ? I don't even know. ;-)
RS: Remember these are only a couple of samples. The last set has people saying they were too hard. I figure it'll have stuff for everyone.
I hope your right Steve.
Yeah, I see a mix of hard & easy questions; which is what it should be.
I found these questions easy, but the first set you published were more difficult.
I trust that Bruce will have done an excellent job.

Although dedicated Beatles fans will be able to answer most of these, it's certainly not for the casual fan. I'd love to get a set but I don't think I'd have anyone willing to play with me!
Hey, didn't you do an article about the stand-in for George? You should link to any of the answers you wrote about. I could always use a refresher. :)
