At the second wall Victoria accepted the first connection when they said that Larissa, Volos, Chania and Patras are towns/ cities in Greek islands, but only Chania is on a Greek island, the others are in mainland Greece
Leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth when things come down to the missing vowels round. Buzzer races feel like they go against the spirit of everything that came before.
Since Kraftwerk was briefly discussed in this episode, I'd like to encourage any viewer who haven't listened to Kraftwerk to give them a shot. It took me a long time to check them out because the overwhelming Germanness of their name and general vibe put me off a bit (and to be fair, Pocket Calculator is kind of exactly what I imagined they would sound like) but I eventually realized they're pretty cool, and I totally get why they were as influential as they were.
very happy with my performance this episode. 3 points on the rob lowe question despite never having used the connection, i probably know it from quiz shows.
I actually got the paper clip on the first clue. Though I'm norwegian, so no wonder. It's acutally an interessting story. It began due to the teachers protest against being forced to join the NS created Teachers organization, and teaching the Nazi corriculum. Of 14.000 teachers, 1100 were arrested, most sent to work camps far North. After a few months, the teachers organizaton was changed from an NS organization to a politically neutral organization, meaning that the nazi corriculum was dropped. Most of the teachers arrested then agreed to join (it was still obligatory to join). The paper clip in their lappel were a symbol for where they really stood.
Thank you for this extra historical context! I only recently learned of the paperclip's significance on a different quiz show: The Unbelievable Truth, a radio game hosted by Victoria's husband, David Mitchell.
@@vaseline69 I had heard about Norwegians wearing paperclips to protest against the Nazis on a Radio 4 program sometime in the past couple of years and it is bugging me so much that I can't remember exactly when and what it was.
I remember a similar Punk tradition of wearing safety pins as a mark of identity and as a sign of solidarity against racism and xenofobia. It was even used by some “remainers” after the 2016 EU Membership Referendum.
Reminded me of the old joke: "So, who do you think will win, Arsenal or Chelsea?" "I'm an intellectual, I pay no attention to such things." "Okay, can you give us your opinion on Toulouse-Lautrec, then?" "With the home advantage, I think it'll be 2-0 for Toulouse."
I could have sworn the Lotto one was about prime factorization. 30 is 2, 3 and 5 (3 factors). 140 is 2, 2, 5 and 7 (4 factors). 1750 is 2, 5, 5, 5 and 7 (5 factors). So I would have guessed "6: 64"
Not if they keep giving the missing vowels answers in unison and one person gets it wrong. They also could do with being calmer on the connecting wall.
