Who is Jeremy Clarkson kidding ?Charlotte Church asks him,using her ask the host option,Where was Custer’s last stand? Little Bighorn,The Alamo,OK Corral,Gettysburg.Clarkson says he doesn’t know.What a load of absolute RUBBISH.

[pixie374]

I think, as Chris Tarrant used to say "they are easy if you know the answer". What is easy to one person, isn't to another and vice versa.

[JimF]

Yeah, he had some deep wisdom, that Chris Tarrant!

[douglas9401]

Impacted, apparently.

well they were all at least as well known as the actual answer. Alamo is Davy Crocket/Jim Bowie so not that. OK Corral is Wyatt Earp and co v the Clantons so not that and Gettysburg is the location of a famous Lincoln speech in the US Civil war so not that. All common knowledge. So that leaves LBH, obvious





Strange reasoning.
If you don't know about Custer then there is a good chance you know nothing about the rest.

[royfromaus]

Hang on...





Gettysburg is the location of a famous Lincoln speech in the US Civil war so not that



?

[ToraToraTora]

gawd help us, neither Barnes nor Jezza and 62% if the audience didn't know 4 of a kind beats a full house! another obvious one!

[ToraToraTora]

roy 22:08 what's your point?

[royfromaus]

Simple really

Little Bighorn
The Alamo
OK Corral
Gettysburg


I don't think they put Gettysburg in the 4 because of a speech, do you?

[diddlydo]

TTT - not everyone knows how to play poker, nor cares. So why should they be familiar with the terminology?

[ToraToraTora]

battle/speech doesn't matter it's related to the Civil war so can't be the answer.

[douglas9401]

But of course:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gettysburg

[pixie374]

TTT... can you give, without googling, 2 types of martingales, 3 types of bit and a rug that goes under a New Zealand?

[THECORBYLOON]

The battle during the American Civil War?

[ToraToraTora]

diddly, you don't really need to know poker much, just be familiar with a pack of cards and probability. Structure of the question means that you just need to know the highest out of the four choices.

[ToraToraTora]

nope, but not really comparable pixie.

[pixie374]

It is... they are the easiest questions I can think of....

[THECORBYLOON]

TTT, if you don't know what a Full House means, is it likely any of the other terms would be familiar?

[THECORBYLOON]

If the any of the first few questions were about recent soap characters, I'd not have a clue.

[ToraToraTora]

4 of a kind/ 2 pair - exactly what it says on the tin
straight - pretty obvious
Flush - in the unlikely event that you don't know what that is it's obvious that 4 of a kind out of a pack of cards is very hard to get. You don't need to know what a full house is.

[royfromaus]

What about Matey, TCL?
