    Surely there would just be individual entries because everyone else on STW is wrong! 😉

    to win University Challenge you need to get more answers right than the oppo. You're really going to put yourself at a disadvantaged with T "the genius" J on your team 😉

    I got THREE right in the last 15 minutes last night. So you'll need me. Especially when questions on Canadian lakes bigger than Wales that aren't the Great Lakes comes up.

    They would lose regardless as infighting would break out.

    You couldn't have ton on the team. He would just use the occasion to ask what the latest niche bike was then parade his latest (possibly repeat) purchases for all to see – probably getting through 4 or 5 new bikes in the 30 minute show time.

    TJ would never make it to the team seating as he would have started an argument with himself over which lucky gonk would be displayed and where he would sit. This argument would see him in arbitration with himself some 3 months later where he would still be refusing to answer his own e-mails or agree that the reflection in the mirror was, actually, his own.

    I won the Weakest Link, so can I just study 'general knowledge'!?

    I've just got my mensa self test through the door which I requested after the mensa thread we had a while ago. If the questions in that are anything like the ones they use in the real life test then I've clearly got an IQ of 180 so I should be on it for the intelligence questions (as opposed to the knowledge ones). Do they ask intelligence questions?

    So the free test shows you're genius and now you can pay to do the real test. Is that about right. Still sure your a genius. 🙂

    It's worse than that. The self test isn't really a self test. I have to pay a tenner if I want to know whether I'm good enough for the real test. If I wasn't so cynical I'd suspect they make the questions easier to encourage people to apply so it's a tenner for pretending to mark the self test and then ….hang on….another 15 quid to take the proper test.

    No wonder Carol is a millionaire.
