I believe it was Gollum who first said, "Tricksy rockgolfses!" Fun clues, great concept.

really fun and creative. only complaint is it's too easy to get A and B by only knowing the C word... if that makes any sense.

Rockgolf you did it again. In the Sporcle world of "The Idiot Test 3424242432425" and "Enter

to start" quizzes, I can rest easy knowing that you will always provide fresh, new, material!

Really fun as ever. My only comment would be that I didn't particularly like the bright green and I didn't feel like you needed to say that there were tricky clues; judging by the results a lot of people scored highly.

It's good but I'm offended that you referred to Sinbad as a comedian. Other than that another good quiz.

Typing in the last word is a little redundant and annoying, I prob would have just given a hint at what the two words form to make, and not had it as an answer, but who the hell am I to be telling rockgolf what to do better? Fun quiz, great idea anyway.

Loved the clues where Column B and Column C did not obviously 'rhyme' (like the homicide,milk,restaurant-chain answers). It was a shame some of the answers started with the same three letters.

Isn't it "moustache"? Or is the milky version spelled (/pronounced?) differently?

In most dictionaries, "mustache" is the main spelling, "moustache" is an alternate. There is no difference in the meaning of the words.

That final clue ("Where you'll find a Cabinet with lots of Polish") has to be my favorite ever on this site. 5/5 and nominated.

I didn't get the concept until there was 15 seconds left. Argh!!! I kept wondering why when I would try to type in the answer for column C, it would answer another part of the quiz. Now I feel stupid.

I thought a bad lie for Tiger Woods was telling his wife "I'm just going to the driving range" for all those years.

@JonnyWalker: That phrasing was intentional. Which reminds me, what's the difference between a golf ball and a Cadillac?
Tiger Woods can drive a golf ball 400 yards.

fun quiz. I don't understand the point of typing the third column though.

@danman23: If people could get the word in the third column by the definition, then they could work backwards from its parts. I guess that is why it is there.

according to the results of the example (73-66%), more people need to read the instructions.

Interesting and original, but you could have ramped up the difficulty if the word in column C was a word that came from jumbling the letters of the words in A and B. If you managed to guess C, then you already had the answers for A and B, or you could easily guess C if you already had either A or B. Nice quiz though.
