In order to do something new during these corona times, I have started to do a live online music quiz. It is called K3 Music Quiz: The Outer Limits. I will do it every second week during the rest of the term. The latest episode is called Fly Me to the Moon and was broadcast on April 23.

One can take part live, but one can also take the quiz afterwards. The Fly Me to the Moon episode is available here. Ten questions. The correct answers come in the end.
