what a cock up!
"In a fully grown human body what do you have fewest of?"
a) teeth
b) pairs of chromosomes
c) bones

They said the answer was pairs of chromosomes - 23. But in a human body there are trillions of cells and virtually everyone will have 23 pairs!!!
correct answer should have been teeth!
A researcher somewhere doesn't know their basic biology

they had to let another couple back for the dr who question as well

Didn't have a huge bearing on the game as i think the couple in this case had split the money almost equally between teeth and pairs of chromosomes -

Actually just checked the recording and they had 5 packets of cash on "teeth" and 4 on "chromosomes" so the two guys should have had an extra £25k - wonder if they will get it back.

Also heard Davina say "most of the audience got this wrong" just before they gave the answer - not surprising really

Pushrod new job opportunity for you, researcher for game shows. very good point all the same, should double check things for that amount of money. If that came up in my local pub quiz ther would be a riot.

maybe i could get a % of the money lol - yeah i have done the occasional pub quiz and people certainly do get agitated when there are ambiguous questions or dodgy answers.
