Someone who works on University Challenge only got 12 of last night's questions right

How many did you get right?

SURELY THE ONLY people who get all the questions on University Challenge right are the people who work on University Challenge and about 0.1% of the general population, right?

Wrong. Not even the who are on set on the day the show is filmed can remember all the correct answers. So there’s really no hope for any of us.

Got, like 12 questions correct on #universitychallenge this week.

She was THERE when they were asking and answering the questions and still only got 12 right. In fact, she remembered more wrong answers than right ones:

It's a particular skill when you remember the contestants incorrect answers much better than the correct ones.#universitychallenge

Surprised myself with smarts on Greek mythology, Bordeaux rivers and Chris de Burgh. Happy with that... #universitychallenge
