And maybe - if for some reason you're allowed on the show with such privilege - don't tell them that you A. Work in the City in the very overpaid corporate world, B. Can already afford to holiday in Belize, C. Can already afford to holiday in Australia. Not exactly Slumdog Millionaire, is it.

dracula required some lateral thinking. anyone who has read it or watched an adaptation knows it opens with the diary entries of a finance junior on a train to romania to meet the count. i believe the journey starts in london, but munich is in the far south of germany & the germans built most of the rail infrastructure into the balkans - ie. munich would be a feasible stop on a journey from london to transylvania. whereas heart of darkness, why would a book set on the congo river start in munich, which is not a port. TTSS was a reasonable guess (the one of the four i never read) but munich was not cold war contested like ie. berlin was quite an easy 250k question if you know what the books concern

Ask the audience can be good for certain questions (I’ve seen 60% of them get a Q14 right before - Mark Kerr’s run). However novels are fairly niche, ATA is better for ‘pop culture’ like film, TV, music etc.

@@inerit5175Audience members who do not know the answer will scatter their wrong answers randomly. Using 50/50 first meant half the guessers would land on the wrong answer, rather than just a quarter. Audience members are also easily influenced by the discussion with Jeremy beforehand, which in this case led them to Tinker Tailor, so if you are planning to Ask the Audience, STFU and ask them first.
