Did anyone else get caught out by the Jeremy Beadle question?

Guilty. :p I pushed X as soon as I saw "Jeremy". I didn't realise it was a trick until I saw "Beetle" just below it. :p

So what's the questions like, brutal or have they hit a decent middle ground?

As you might have guessed from the above 3 posts, occasionally they throw in the odd easy question but with a trick answer.

The question in er...question was something like "Back in the 1990's, people had to look out because ______ was about?". The correct answer was Jeremy Beadle, but the answers given were something like:

X) Jeremy Beetle

A) Jeremy Beadle

B) Jeremy Beedle

So those of us who knew the answer right away but jumped the gun went straight for X =\

Other than that the questions aren't overly difficult, mostly topical stuff. There was even a question about Wii Sports, surprisingly.

Actually some of those coins are worth a LOT more than ?50. Like, ?300 minimum and one even went fora few thousand.

Yeah, the live host actually said stuff about it after the question. He mentioned that one sold on eBay for ?7k! It definitely was a live host as well, because at one point, he actually mentioned the gamertags of the top 3 scorers:) :)

Nah, they are officially 'worth' ?50 a piece, according to the Royal Mint. What people are willing to pay for them is a different matter.

They are worth 20pence according to the Royal Mint - it was some coin collecting agency/company said they would pay ?50 per coin.

"Primetime" is the term Microsoft is using for this style of game. 1vs100 is just the beginning, they have a deal with the company that owns the show (is it Endemol or something?) and plan to roll out other shows over the next few years. You'll see things like Deal or No Deal and such.

Lol, how come?

Right, my experience from last night:

I played the prize show earlier, and 10% of the mob didn't know the title for the head of our government! There were also a few people who didn't know "which chocolate bar advertises having a glass and a half of milk in it"; the choices were "Dairy Orange Juice", "Dairy Milk", and "Dairy Cola". F***ing idiots!

I must have been in the same game as you because those were the two questions that amazed me.

Haha yeah i remember those questions, like browno said though they are proberly 8-12 year olds playing which are absolute idiots lol. But wait, you only get selected for the mob if you are 18 right? because a child account on live will automatically set your privacy to private on 1 vs 100? and an adult account is classed 18+ But i guess 99% of the 8-12 year olds faked there dob lol.

But im looking forward to the next 1 vs 100 live show!

I think they let you play regardless of your age, but you only win the prizes if you're 18 or over, or if you're under 18 and the account has a parent's account tied to it as well.
