Am I just trying to show how clever I am?

On yesterday's Pointless.

The contestants were asked to name countries with a Pacific coast.

One of the answers was, Egypt.


I reckon my general knowledge of science, natural history and geography is fairly good but I know I am weak on history, the arts and literature, but isn't thinking Egypt has a coast on the Pacific pretty appaling?

This is a show where somebody was asked who got shot in Dallas in 1963. The answer was "Erm, J R?".

Richard Osman's response was "well, now at least I'll know what to say when people ask me what's the stupidest answer I've ever been given"

I reckon anyone even watching pointless immediately loses all rights to take the intellectual high ground with anyone

That was in the days you would not watch it because you would fall asleep. Now you would not watch it as the story lines are just so silly, time to put it to bed ...

I enjoyed University Challenge years ago, when Bamber Gascoigne was still the quiz master. It made my day if I managed to answer more than a couple of the questions correctly!
