how many flick through sky channels and wonder how they've managed to rewrite mathematical rules with there answers. i know its a long time since i left school etc but surely still rules ?
so how can they tell people there answers wrong when using ?
how can a simple maths question get such varying answers, some as much as 10,000 diference from 1 caller to another when the answers say 42, has anyone off here actually rang up these quiz channels and more importantly WON?

:x :x oOoooOooooo, Now you've flicked my mad button!I HATE with a passion the quiz call programmes and think its a complete waste of time, everyones time. No-one really actually wins for hours and hours on end with the same competition cos the answers are so bloody obscure you had to have written the darn thing in order to know the right answer :x
Not only that but there used to be some half decent fringe programming on after midnight or they would repeat some things you missed earlier in the day.... but NOOOOOO not now. Now youre options are to watch an ex big brother housemate parade with a complete imbasile of a girl around some phones waiting for them to ring. And that is about it.
Is that entertainment???
A big fat NO it is NOT one tiny little bit imho.
As soon as BBC start doing these stupid television slots I will protest highly and chuck out my telly, not pay the licence and see where it all gets them. :x
Grrrr, quiz call programmes indeed. :x

And mine! What is the world coming too?!
Thinking logically though we have to blame the punters that phone in... cos if they didn't then they wouldn't put on the quizzes (sp?)
Makes you wanna scream doesn't it!

i watch the programme the mint at night at work
Yep I've seen that one and am quite good at the puzzles they set but am not by any means naive enough to actually ring them :smug:
However
I woke up the other morning grabbed a coffee fired up the laptop and suddenly noticed 3 mobiles and a land line hand set lying around the lounge at PKHQ then it all came flooding back to me :? The pair of numtys us had got only ever so slightly tipsy the night before and had solved a few of these teasers with ease so had sat there with every phone we could get our hands on ringing the bloody show. Now call me a sceptic if you like but it would apear that I have more chance of getting tickets for Elvis's next tour than I actually do of getting through let alone on to the air of this sodding programme A quick check of my mobile account revealed that I had wasted the princely sum of 5 friggin pounds making no more 3 (prehaps 10) phone calls couple that with Kates phone bill as well we'd have been better off just going down the bank drawing out 5 Grand and telling everyone we had won just for the glory

good post.....
are you saying that the correct answer should be X (by following a prescribed mathematical process) and they are saying that the answer is actually Y........ if thats the case you have just proven a theory i had about those programs......
(LNQS + Q) X npc=0+ro+mib
or in other words..... you win nothing, its a rip off and money in the bank for the the broadcasters

I have no problems with these types of programs being on sky... if people are stupid enough to pay a premium to watch them, and pay again to ring them then more fool them!!!!
BUT I strongly believe they should not be allowed on the major TV chanels like BBC1,2 / ITV1, C4, and C5.
Besides, I always thought they had to "provide decient and good programming" or shome such terms in their contract.
And yes, the questions are designed to have the most obscure unknown answer as the highest payout... was funny last night when I was flipping chanels and someone had said "short metre" for the "short xxxxxxx" quiz and had one, they obviously either knew music or had used the internet to find the most daft answer and were lucky enough to get through and win the top prize.
As for the maths questions.... obviously they dont follow the rules of precidence as well as having a question worded as to make the result anything they feel like and it would not supprise me if someone chooses the corect answer to quickly they just change the answer to another "correct" one to rip off even more pissed twats.
"add the numbers"
10+15=
4+3*6=
1-5=
If i remember my maths correctly should be
10+15=25
(4+3)*6=42
1-5=-4
so logically 25+42+4=71
But they could mean 4+(3*6)=22
or with the wording 10+15+4+3+6+1+5 + the answers(or not) and so on.....
So anyone stupid enough to ring up deserves to be ripped off!
