Mr.Mister I would have been able to get a large number of those. But would have taken more than a minute for 29.
@Ulkomaalainen7 жыл бұрын
That's the thing though. I am pretty safe myself - though I tend to mix up island nation capitals in the Caribbean or Pacific, so one of these could kill me - but the time is harsh. 30 in 60 seconds sounds easy, but watching this I don't think I could do it even if only "safe" questions were asked.

My question is, was it verbally asked or already written, then it's impressive that BOTH the questioner and the answerer can get 52 or even 45 in one minute.

They probably didn't count "Congo" as correct for "Brazzaville". There's two Congos so they would probably only have accepted "Republic of the Congo".

@@SundaeRoast You've replied to a comment that included a question. A question that you are obviously unable to answer. Your reply told the world that the television programme Pointless (or Pointless Celebrities, we haven't actually established which) is edited. This is a fact that no one asked about or disputed. You've added nothing to the human understanding of the world or the structure of this particular episode of Pointless (or Pointless Celebrities). Think about what you have done, Johnny.
