‘Bout time we had another “idiots in quizzes” post. In House of Games today (I always have it on while I am cooking) the four celebrity contestants had to mark Singapore on a map of Asia. All four of them had been to Singapore, one of them very recently. So what did they do? Two of them went for the interior of China, not even the coast. The other two picked out Taiwan and Hainan, islands way out at sea and a very long way from Singapore.  So even if you gave them some leeway, this was guessing of monumental stupidity.  I think this is why the Eggheads used to do so well – when they didn’t know they were fantastic guessers. The visiting teams were invariably rubbish at guessing.
