Sick of hearing the same questions over and over, what year were the moon landings? People still don't know! What do they teach in schools I wonder.
12 men have walked on the moon, another fact for quizzers!! |

This one irritated me the first time round and still irritates me on the repeats of The Link:
Question: "What EIGHT letter word is given to a chess move whereby a piece is given up in order to gain future advantage?" Contestant 1: "CHECKMATE ...? Oh - it's not 8 letters" Contestant 2: "SACRIFICE?" So two of them managed to give an answer that didn't meet the length requirement specified ... the kicker here being that contestant 2's answer was accepted as correct! |

Daft it may be but at least it's a guess. I wouldn't have thought the correct answer was particularly obvious unless you'd seen it in the news or wherever.

Hmm, fair enough. Good luck with arguing your case with that one on the show though!

On The Link today the first clue was something like "their natural habitat was Mauritius" followed by a clue about first being spotted by sailors in a certain year. The guy had to overrule his partner who wanted to say "mermaid".

Years ago, on a daft quiz/game programme that I can't recall the name of but included a character called Dusty Bin, a couple were given the following clues to help them name a composer
1. Born in (year), he was German but was naturalized British 2. He became the court composer to King (can't recall which) 3. He's most famous for his Christmas oratorio, The Messiah The woman turned to the man and asked "Who wrote Handel's Messiah?" He replied "Chopin?" They didn't win.

12 men have walked on the moon, another fact for quizzers!! "Who was the third man on the Moon?" I heard that asked on 15 to 1. Everybody knows (or should know) the first two,but the third's a lot harder. I didn't know it. The guy on 15 to 1 said Michael Collins (which is not a stupid answer),but he was the man left in the command module orbiting the Moon while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the surface. He never actually set foot on the Moon. The third man on the Moon was Pete Conrad,who commanded the Apollo 12 mission in November 1969. Apart from the first two,the names of the twelve men who have walked on the Moon are not well known. |

On the subject of the Moon landings,a tricky question few people will get right is:
"Who was the third man on the Moon?" I heard that asked on 15 to 1. Everybody knows (or should know) the first two,but the third's a lot harder. I didn't know it. The guy on 15 to 1 said Michael Collins (which is not a stupid answer),but he was the man left in the command module orbiting the Moon while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the surface.

HOST: Name something you buy which could turn out to be phony. CONTESTANT: A horse. On that subject,I remember seeing a scam they used to operate in London around the big shopping streets like Oxford Street. They may still do. A bloke sets up a quick stall on a box in the street and lays out some jewellery. His sales pitch is simple: "Come on,get here now,it's nicked. We've got to get rid of it quick before the Old Bill sees us." It would be offered at cheap prices and there were no shortage of buyers,thinking they were getting a bargain. But of course they weren't. The jewellery wasn't nicked,it was cheap counterfeit. The idea that it was genuine jewellery that was stolen was an invention by the seller. And anyone buying it could hardly have any complaint,since they were effectively buying what they thought were stolen goods. |
