A friend emailed this to me...there's no way.  I got a 20 -- an apprentice, but still smarter than Bush.
 
 Not the kind of stuff I know, plus a lot of it seemed to be pretty 'historic,' as in going back to the early days of rock 'n' roll.

You're 1 smarter than me (45 is still an expert though, thank you very much).

Amongst their other, unforgivable sins, the people at Rolling Stone can't add.
 
 The Cure question #45.  If he leaves at 6:15 A.M. and arrives 38 hours later?
 
 24 hours later is 6:15 the next day.  12 more hours is 6:15 at night.  That gives you 36 hours.  Two hours after 6:15 P.M. is 8:15 P.M. which isn't one of the answers.

Amongst your other, unforgivable sins, you (and, to be fair, Rolling Stone) seem unaware of how time zones work.

Another mistake is that the five parts in Green Day's "Jesus of Suburbia" are:
 
 1. "Jesus of Suburbia"
 2. "City of the Damned"
 3. "I Don't Care"
 4. "Dearly Beloved"
 5. "Tales of Another Broken Home"
 
 so two don't belong in question 55.

yeah, but if you have any knowledge of the cure, you know they were TRYING to make it a cure-related answer.

Just because I loathe "Classic Rock" doesn't mean I don't know a lot about it.  I've read a LOT about "Classic Rock" but have never really listened to it.  Know your enemy.

 P.S.  Sue me.  I know a LOT about ABBA.

my score: 30, "whiz".  probably wouldn't have missed a few if i had taken a little more time, but i "whizzed" through it.

chicago (the departure point) is 2 hours behind LA (the destination), so the actual answer is 6:15 pm.  had robert gone from LA to chicago, the math would have worked and Sat 10:15 would have been the correct answer.

[bearman🐻]

38...a whiz.

34- whiz
 
 Thought I did ALOT worse.
