Going Stupid

I was never any good at "intelligent" quiz shows like University Challenge and Only Connect.  But watching a bit of these quiz shows this evening, I absolutely suck.  Not even close to getting any correct answers.  Who or what to blame?  America?  Age?  A general decline in my mental acuity?  Yes, yes and yes.  But then these quiz shows have deliberately obtuse and obscure questions, so it is not really a fair comparison.  Better instead to consider a quiz show that is more logic/common sense and less general knowledge.  And a whole lot less pretentious.  The 1% Club.  Now I can pretty reliably get most of these answers correct, even the 5% or 1% questions.  Which makes me feel a bit better about myself, though I suspect I couldn't pass the Mensa entry test now unlike when I was a teenager.
