It was “Pointless” and I scored 2/10, thus making me the winner so far.

11 out of 10☺
Not fair and unsupported claims.
If they cite man made stuff who is to say other more advanced species have not done better.
Blatant self promotion.

OK, the short-term memory is still working. Can you also count backwards from 100 by 7's, tell me the day of the week and the name of the Prime Minister who is in charge of the country? (Sorry - that last one is a trick question.)

5/10 here .
Not fair
All the answers have changed since I went to school in the 1600s.
Next thing they'll be saying the earths not in the centre of the universe and theres stuff like dark mater in between real mater.
There just making it up as they go along.

I actually guessed thd "Ell Gordo" one right 25% is good odds ( better than a horse race).

Cheers
Andy
