I would love to see Oxford and Cambridge team interviews on where these students learnt all these facts which regular human beings struggle to even understand what the question being asked is in order to provide any sort of fact in the first place. Across such a wide variety of topics and question types it's almost unbelievable how they know so much STUFF!

When they asked the question about Mississippi I was thinking finally a question I know but no. Although for the question after it would’ve helped to know geography and geopolitical context, Tennessee borders Mississippi so when they said “well not Mississippi, Utah?” I knew it wasn’t going to be right.
I don’t know about yall but I loved pausing it in the middle of questions and looking for things up so I could get it before they could

It's not the battle of school it is a battle of student even how hard you teach it depends on a students if they grow
“Thank you ladies and gentlemen, the quiz is now over, with our two contestants leading with equal score. Well done to both. Our third contestant seems to have an answer to his first question. Is that correct Ken?” “Yes, Andy, that is correct. I believe I have the answer to your question: my username is Ken.” “And a well done to you for that answer. As they say, better late than never. That’s it for now, we’ll see you next time.”

I feel humbled by these student's knowledge though! There is nothing better in life than to know things and be enthusiastic about such knowledge.
