University Challenge just got a question wrong

[DotCommunist]

Similarly, a quiz on my local radio station asked who is Luke Skywalker's father? The contestant said Anakin Skywalker and the DJ said wrong, it's Darth Vader!!! Most annoying.

He fathered Luke before his taking up of the famouse name and helmet.

The radio quiz had it well wrong.

A pub quiz I was at claimed that Spock's mother was called T'Pau.

I mean that's just basic stuff, but I didn't speak up to my eternal regret.

Did you not cry Shennanigans?


I don't think I could have allowed such a schoolboy error to pass unremarked

The questions on that episode were a little trickier than usual I thought. I got about five fewer right than I normally do.

Definitely the Man From Uncle. Similar style but lacking the main melody. Jerry Goldsmith was never the most original composer.

Hehe - I was watching it with a mate and we were all smug, going 'mission impossible innit' and nearly fell off our chairs when Paxman said it was MFU

Glad it wasn't just us who were utterly convinced they'd got it wrong

Oh dear. His mother wasn't even a Vulcan.

True, but she did have a Vulcan name. Can't remember what it was though.

As well as a human name. Don't get me that easily. Going to be played by Winona Ryder, IIRC.

I watched it again on iplayer and...um...

I once lost out on a £100 pub quiz prize because of the morons running the event. "What god is Wednesday named after?" they asked. I said 'Woden', they said that was wrong and it was 'Odin'. Then they lost half our answers, only found the bit of paper after the 'winning' team had buggered off with the money.

They offered us free admission to next week's quiz, I told the organiser to kiss my ring and sashayed off the premises.

who wants to be a millionnaire got a question wrong, it was in one of the first episodes - a man incorrectly guessed 'chat' for 'what is the word for dog in french' IIRC (or it was the other way round: he guessed 'dog' for 'what is the meaning of 'chat' in french') - buit that twat Tarrant said it was correct

The latest PC Gamer describes Sam & Max (a detective partnership of a dog and a rabbit) as a Chat et Chien. I think I should be paid to proofread all magazines.
