(Doing the Sums 2014) 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 our Are You Joe Average Hottest 100 quiz. (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: I can believe I scored this High.
 14-29: You like to keep your Left Hand Free and your Sleeves Rolled Up.
 30-40: Solid score Won't Let You Down.
 41-52:  I'm a Happy Idiot.
 53-65: You have your own musical tastes but I Can Feel That You Don't Love Me.
 66-77: Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck)  
 78-89: Don't Quit Your Job.
