Evan,

You are right and I stand corrected. The New Zealand/Australia mistake is entirely mine and for that I apologize. My Roommate in college was from Australia and he turned me on to the Split Enz (as well as some other groups), and I was confused.

You are also correct about Neil Finn and Paul Hester forming the other band, with Tim joining later.

So I would respectfully re-submit the question as:

"After the New Zealand band, Split Enz, broke up, Brothers Neil and Tim Finn would later play together again in the band:"

I don't know if I can correct it in the test itself at this point but maybe a moderator can.

No need to apologise - I was just letting my pedantic streak out for a run... and hoping to get in before any indignant kiwis...

Yeah, same here.....one foot in the old school, but on the young side.

Just "Gen Y" enough to not care about putting up a test online for us!

I guess for you young Gen Y guys I should have used the word game instead of test

Tony! Thanks for changing the wording of question 7 and saving me from the possible wrath of any indignant Kiwi's
