"the level of general knowledge in todays youth is the pits"
Watch yesterday's "University Challenge" and see if you can still think that. Remember that in "The Chase" the show is giving money away. At a pinch you'd expect them to pick people less likely to win that money...
If everyone got all the answers correct we'd soon get bored and wouldn't be talking about it now. As Bradley says "come and have a go if you think you're clever enough"
You're right, Robinia, good on them for having a go. Easy for me to criticise sitting at home without the pressure. There's a lot of luck on how the questions fall too, or good guesses.
