Have you ever caught yourself taking part in one of those televised game shows on ETV at three in the morning? Of course you haven’t! They’re incredibly slow and annoying and no-one calls in and the presenters are constantly trying to find ways to not just fall asleep right there on camera! And the questions are always either ridiculously easy Letter Jumbles (e.g. What mountain is Cape Town famous for? Clue: Telab Mitonaun) or just plain impossible math problems. I, however, have sadly found myself attempting one of these quizzes recently (Podcast) by texting my answer to a classic 5-digit number and obviously didn’t even get through...there went my R7.50 sms! So in light of all this, I decided to offer my own quiz. There are two Streep-related games. And a prize for the winner! Sounds like fun to me...

Rules:

*Post your answers for the two games in the comments box below with a working e-mail address.
*The first person who posts the correct answers will be notified on e-mail and I will end the quiz with a ‘Congratulations’ post.
*No members of the Streep family or their affiliates (i.e. anyone who has posted anything as ‘So-and-so Streep’) may enter.
*Dylan Streep’s decision is final, no correspondence will be added into.

Game 1: Who, according to the Brothers Streep, will you find is not real? Clue: Teryl Dednur

Game 2: Below are the lyrics from the Brothers Streep’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘It Couldn’t Have Been Miss Scarlett, She Was With Us At The Time...’ (These lyrics and other special features can be found on the album when placed into a PC) However, all spaces, punctuation, capital letters and song titles have been removed. One extra word has been inserted into the text. Find that word.
