Someone thought Jesse James’ first bank robbery in America took place in 1566.

One team guessed the film Madagascar in the first round, only for us to ask about the film Madagascar in the second half. Psychic!

And someone at a corporate show being staged for a logistics company asked us how far 2,000km was. Apparently he’s new.
