Not sure how wide spread Sale of the Century but I have watched when they have had the champions of the champions on and the compare only gets one or two words of the questions out and the contestants are on the buzzer with the correct answer. I think "how did they do that". It is spooky. It is sometimes like that on the list. Some respondents say "you really need to give us more information before we have any chance of giving you an answer" and others are spot on with their responses. I often thought I was missing part of the thread. Anyway, I am enjoying the discussion. It has made me think and not a waste of effort. All sides have very good arguments. For me it has become a grey area. I guess it comes done to the fact that we are all different which has been mentioned often.
