LOL, nice.  I did read the comments, and one poster said that the European audiences tend to purposely provide the wrong answer.  I don't know if that's true or not, but ultimately I guess it doesn't matter.  Here's to hoping it was just nerves and not complete dumbassness.

Once on the U.S. version I saw a guy get the very first question wrong:  "Fill in the blank: 'Duck, duck, _____.'"  Choices being goose, duck, and two other words I can't remember.  I know... it's a stumper alright!

I don't care how nervous you are -- if it takes you 10 minutes to think about that question then you probably aren't running on all cylinders. I mean, I was taught that in....kindergarten? 1st grade?

I seriously wonder if the question was worded confusingly so that more than half the audience chose the wrong answer.

I wouldn't have known the answer to that one until last year, when I heard my little one doing some "duck, duck, goose" thing with the neighbor's boy.

Edit:  I got bored with the video clip.  Dum dum!

According to Babelfish, it literally says "What gravitates around the Earth?"  So no, apparently the people in that audience were actually *that* stupid.

I can understand a guy hesitating a moment before answering to ensure he was getting it and it wasn't a trick question, but that's all just really sad.
