(Doing the Sums 2013) Are You Joe Average?

The triplej Hottest 100 is an Australian institution. The Bawley crew don't always agree with the results but we do enjoy the ritual. Increasingly part of this ritual is the Are You Joe Average Hottest 100 quiz.o (Previous results).

Here is how it works:

1. Write out a list of the songs you voted for in the triplej Hottest 100.
2. Write down the position each of these came in the triplej Hottest 100.
3. If a song did not make the list put down 101.
4. Add up the scores, and divide by the number of songs you voted for.
5. Post your results as a comment to this blog entry.

How to interpret your score:

 1-13: It takes skill to Get Lucky.
 14-29: You may not have My Number but you probably have Pharrell Williams on speed dial.
 30-40: You had a good score, Ratchet up a bit next year.
 41-52:  Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat.
 53-65: You have your own musical tastes but If I Could Change Your Mind it might be an Instant Crush.
 66-77: Kinda quirky in a cute way.  
 78-89: Kinda quirky in a "slowly back away..." way.    90-100: You're a f***ing freak, man  
 101: Did you vote for songs, or flavours of ice cream????
