Tipping Point- Are They Making The Questions To Hard For The Average Person

[gollob]

On today they had

What sport is played at Wimbledon
What is the first letter of the word Gnome
The feet are at the end of what limbs in the human body
What film producer and director was married to Lilian Disney
Butcher, baker and who else makes a well known sayng
What is the plural of Millenia
How many borders does the UK have(No answer then after time 0)

Surely they cannot make then any harder

Minty.....unless you have a liking for serious music, there is no real reason why you should of known who he is.

....its horses for course I guess, although I am still being castigated for not knowing who Olly Murs is....why should I, if his chosen field of entertainment is not one that I am interested in ?

[anotheoldgit]

Tipping point is not a quiz programme it is a Game Show, if they made the questions too hard and the contestants got them wrong then the game could not move on.

[emmie]

personally i don;t find the questions all that hard..

[mikey4444]

AOG....I have never seen this programme, but surely they could make the questions just a teeny-weeny bit more difficult than the examples given by gollob ?

The average person knows the difference between to and too.
