Ice Breaker-Thickest Contestant Ever

[gollob]

Quite like the new quiz "Ice Breaker "but where do they get the contestants from
william on todays programme was asked
What is the boys name and the ball in bowls. no answer then told jack. thats my sons name
next question was what are crossed swords on a ordinance survey match mean. answer castle
then what sport has two teams of four players played over 4 periods of time called chukkas. Answer given was chess
You would not believe they have researchers to test these competitors

Okay, I'm close to being thick.
I wouldn't have known the crossed swords one.
I would guess at least 25% (possibly 50%) of the population wouldn't have known the answer to the last one

They're not thick, just ignorant of certain areas of knowledge, like us all (except gollob of course).

Was that contestant just unlucky with his questions? Given others, might he have sailed through and given the impression that he was Mastermind material?

Gollob, I've know a lot of people including my Daughter's In-Laws "YOU" might refer them to been THICK, they are very Intelligent in their own field but common, no, they wanted a wooden shed moving about 30ft their new home, the shed was already in place so to move it they were going to dismantle the whole thing, this would have cost them new replacement felt, Time, the shed was a 8x6 I said there was no need for all that work, put 6 scaffolding tubes under the shed & lift it, they said that would never work! " IT DID with no damage and had taken mins. calling someone thick is a bit hard, that person may have Learning Disabilities.

Gollob, they might be thick, but possibly could compose a question on a site like Answerbank using correct punctuation. Possibly??
