Who knows more than millionaires?
Because I do all the time. Every time I watch Who wants to be a millionaire, I tend to know much more than the competitor and I wouldn't even have to help.
But if I would actually be there... I guess I wouldn't know jackAnother Flying Finn

I also usually know more than the competitors, but I've never seen anyone go beyond 10,000 €.
I could really use a fish right now

A knowledge of trivia does not equate to high intelligence. I know a barrister who is fearsomely intelligent, but ask him what Britney Spears does for a living or the Nationality of Arsene Wenger, and you'll get a blank look.

There are indeed plenty of people who get good academic grades, but whose general knowledge (as opposed to trivia) is dreadful. As someone who stores up a lot of crap in his head and then spurts it out in attempts to look more clever than he is, I think this is a pity.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
