Todays "the Chase" And A Wrong Answer

[mickthemuppe]

The question asked was in a Medley Swimming race what stroke is swam first
(a) Butterfly (b) Breaststroke (c) Backstroke. Although the chaser said backstroke the answer given was Butterfly which was wrong. If butterfly was the correct answer he would end up crashing into the backstroke swimmer in the water on changover

Well, honestly, you would think they would do better wouldn't you?

If it's a Medley relay you're right. But an individual medley is the order Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. I tihnk the question must have meant an individual medley.

If it's an Individual Medley race, the answer is correct -

If it's a 4X Medley, the order changes -
