Well who does watch it? It's funny like hell <3

Every show, they got a different theme and questions for those themes. The thing is that you may not give the straight answer to it (negative points), so you have to give the answers, in some other way.



1 - Last show the theme was France. I learned that in France, 1880 (19th century), that 80 percent of the Frence population didn't talk French. Instead, they had their own dialects and other (sub)languages.

2 - Here's another one: The fire itself doesn't kill you, it's the smoke.

3 - What is three times more dangerous than war? No, not three wars. The answer is: work.

4 - The most horrifying militairy strategy occured in 496 BC, Vietnam, where the first frontline of soldiers chopped their own heads off.

5 - How much hours sleep should you every day? Correct, ten points for Trax. It's 4 hours. People who sleep 4-7 hours live longer than people who sleep more than 8 hours.

There are 5 persons in the 'room' (and the audience) consisting out of;
- Stephen Fry as the Quizmaster,
- Alan Davies as permanent participator (he never was absent from the show and won 6 times, but ended mostly on the fourth place at the end of the show),
- And 3 other random people (mostly comedians and sometimes even Americans).

Mostly English and Europeans would understand this kind of humour.

Oh and, note which buzzers they got, especially Alan's.

So go watch it! =3
