on sky channel 166 the quiz channel, the quesiton to win 1300 quid is a bunch of road signs (nine of them) and you have to say which are real ones and which are fake.

it is fairly simple the signs you have are

pedestrian/cycle path split, 40mph limit, speed camera, hump back bridge with a picture of a lorry on it(the fake one), car with explosion on it, tram sign, change lanes sign, no traffic lights, and no cycles sign

out of sheer boredom i was contemplating phoning in, but they dont tell you how much it costs, it is a premium phone line obviously but its not stating how much they charge.

the amount of ignorant people phoning in and not knowing which signs are real and which arent is absolutely shocking. i have listened to around 20 people giving the wrong answer. if you think that these people are driving around everyday, and dont know the road signs, god knows what they are like driving

absolutely disguisting

The quiz channel... do you really think the most intelligent people on the planet would be ringing in?

There was a survay done by a car mag ages ago which did a survey of what the standard NSL sign meant.

Ready

64% didnt know it was 60mph on single 70 on duel (they thought it ment 50) and the rest didnt know what it ment at all

just flicked over while the adverts were on between the dtm race, theyve got one on where you have to add up the distances to certain places on a road sign

the answer is 326 miles, and its blatently obvious that it is, anyone who can see and add would be able to get it right

the funniest thing is people are ringing up and saying '5' or '674' even '53' they must be so flipping dumb i cant even imagine

the most annoying thing is somebody said '326', and THEY DIDNT WIN!!! he gave the right answer but the guy just said he got it wrong! wtf is going on there?

In moments of complete boredom, I've watched this channel a few times. The obvious answer is NEVER the one they are looking for...and I still haven't figured out the logic behind it
