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.
