I'm one of those people who loves Brainiac type shows. So of course I thought this was going to be a really great show. The first thing that disappointed me was that they start out way up at a question 90% of the people surveyed got correct and very slowly dwindle down to 1%. I do have a high IQ but I thought these were relatively easy questions and was quite surprised how hard they were for some of the100, but in fairness they weren't really questions about intelligence but rather questions about perception mainly. Or I should say ability to perceive the twist, if you will. For example one of the questions is These two states: South Dakota and North Carolina can form two completely new state names, what are they? I think it's very obvious the new states are North Dakota and South Carolina but yet six people got that wrong out of the remaining 43 or so. It should have been more fun than it was, I thought the host was okay but I'm not a fan- I don't really care for hosts who think that teasing and putting people down is funny or entertaining. In particular, I thought it was very strange that only a few people were focused on out of 100 and one woman, who apparently only had one kidney, was focused on four times - or 12 if you count the number of times the camera focused in on her for no apparent reason. With 100 contestants you would think they could talk to more people or at least not focus on the same people two three and four times. I would have also like to have heard from the people who missed a question as to why they came to the conclusion they did. I only missed one question because I couldn't figure out how the map was configured. So I guess you could say that part of the difficulty is the short amount of time given to reach an answer. At any rate I'll probably continue to watch this as it becomes available as I know the British version is very popular; however I do hope they are more challenging questions to come as these were quite pedestrian in my opinion. Another example is, basically, in the English alphabet which picture represents the 23rd letter. Several people got that wrong. So am I that smart or are they that dumb? I know it's hard for people with higher IQs to understand those with lower IQs and vice versa but I'm just thinking that is a pretty simple question. Of course initially you do have to figure out that it's discussing the English alphabet- maybe that was the tough part for some people. As I said I'm not fond of the host but I don't hate him either. Hopefully they're just on a learning curve right now- with 100 people surely there are more faces we can see besides the hosts favorites.
