Nor was it Bernie's fault, the callers were either google cheats or rank imbeciles.</p>
<p>The second last question had a kid answering "Who played Uncle Arthur in Bewitched?" He got it right (Paul "Mildew Wolf" Lynde), but his parents were obviously googling in the next room.</p>
<p>The last question was a little harder to google "In which city is the Drew Carey Show set?" (Cleveland.) As soon as the kid ummed and ahhed Bernie gonged him. But the subsequent callers couldn't anser it, either, and when the 1:00 news started I turned the radio off in extreme disgust.</p>
<p>The smart caller must have gone on holiday with Tones.</p>Francis Xavier Holden commented on 'ANSWERING MACHINE'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341cb34453ef00d8350db65769e22007-01-17T11:28:36Z2007-08-20T15:05:05ZFrancis Xavier Holdenhttp://landownunder.blogspot.com/yeah woeful and yet Bernie is not too bad when she hits her stride on other stuff, but her quiz...<p>yeah woeful and yet Bernie is not too bad when she hits her stride on other stuff, but her quiz skillz are about as on the ball as a vasectemy by Tony Abbott.</p>

<p>I'm studying for exams at the moment. Would a layperson armed with Google beat a studious practitioner on a multiple choice exam in a specialty subject? Maybe, maybe...</p>
