Q: Jupiter is made almost entirely of Helium and which other element?

A: Stones.

PMSL!

[douglas9401]

Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen (90% by volume), followed by helium, which makes up a quarter of its mass and a tenth of its volume.

Maybe the contestant was thrown by the mistake in the question.

[douglas9401]

Maybe ambiguity would be better 😊

[THECORBYLOON]

TORATORATORA, have you applied to go on The Chase yet?

[ToraToraTora]

what mistake? It doesn't say that Helium is the most common.

[naomi24]

There isn't a mistake in the question.

[douglas9401]

Indeed it doesn't, Tora.

A: Hydrogen

There were three good players tonight, two of whom got knocked out.  The last contestant was as thick as two bricks and passed on easy questions.  Do some people seriously think they are clever when they are nice but dim?? I felt sorry for the other girl in the final.

On today's Tipping Point:

Who succeeded Henry VIII as King of England in 1537?

George VI  James VI  Edward VI

Contestant immediately went for George VI.  I still have an intact television, but only just.

[THECORBYLOON]

What age was the contestant?

[brainiac]

I'd say in his 50s

[Mozz71]

To be honest Brainiac, I wouldn't have got that one either. I've never cared about royalty enough to know the correct order of reigning monarchs.

[JimF]

Fair enough, Mozz. The difference is you didn't go on a quiz show where the contestants win by answering general knowledge questions like this incredibly easy one...

[brainiac]

Mozz, you mean you wouldn't have known George VI was the father of our late queen?

Today's Tipping Point:

Q - At the Malta Summit in 1989, which US President declared the end of the Cold War?
A - It's one of two - either J F Kennedy or Abraham Lincoln...
