you read or listern to the question and the answer is very obvious to anybody with half a brain cell but when you ring in (if you get through) its the wrong answer. then when they say someone has it right, you wonder how the hell they came to get an answer like it? example: one question was like a poem about a dog and you had to ring in and say how many times they had used the word dog in this equasion, it had been used 12 times. the winning answer was something like 5467, how come?

yes when i first discovered the joys of quiz TV there was a maths one which had written something stupid like one plus three times two plus 12 and that ended up in the 900's and we sat up for about n hour waiting, but they don't then tell you how they come to this stupid answer and you feel like lobbing your TV out the window or ringing up and when you eventually get through shouting"YOUR SHOWS F*CKING CRAP"

I have cable, and those quiz exhibits are everywhere.. they look placed on on each occasion the channel has a spare slot. they are only like the 'locate the lady' sport.... deliberatley designed to misinform. I have by no skill been stupid sufficient to telephone in, yet I even ought to admit, I have spent a couple of minutes right here and there gazing those 'quizes'... one in each of my ordinary cons, is at the same time as they use sum consisting of a mixture of numbers (ie, 3) and written numbers (ie, 3) and then the ask the dupes to operate up each and each of the numbers... yet they dont allow you to recognize what definition of the note 'numbers' that they use. and why is it continually the stupid those who actually get through? is it because only stupid anybody is stupid sufficient to trust that they have got a danger of prevailing? besides. rant over :-)

It's all a marketing ploy to get people to ring in. More calls = more money for them. Have you noticed as well that sometimes someone does get the right answer and they cut them off before they can finish and pretend that they've "accidently" been cut off? Switch off I say!!

It's all a big fix. Depending on where you put the commas or brackets in the maths questions you can come up with endless answers but they are never the one they are looking for. Fixed...lateral thinking.
