(Doing The Sums 2012) 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. (See: 2007, 2008, Hottest 100 of all time, 2009, 2010, 2011).

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: Bargain. You like to chase savings at the local Thrift Shop.  
 14-27: So close to (Hyper)Paradise. 
 28-40: You had the Genesis of a good score  
 41-52: "Here I am stuck in the middle with you"  
 53-65: You think you have Heard it All and value Disparate Youth over Super Rich Kids  
 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????
