    I am impressed with his vast knowledge of capital cities and their countries. Wow.

      Mr.Mister I would have been able to get a large number of those. But would have taken more than a minute for 29.

      That's the thing though. I am pretty safe myself - though I tend to mix up island nation capitals in the Caribbean or Pacific, so one of these could kill me - but the time is harsh. 30 in 60 seconds sounds easy, but watching this I don't think I could do it even if only "safe" questions were asked.

      He knows his sh*t and contestants don't know they're sh*t.

    Thanks to Richard, I've been learning capitals. But nowhere near as quickly as Richard.

    That really is impressive. Unfortunately, it looks like this record no longer stands. It has since been broken by Muhammad Taha of Pakistan, who named 45 in one minute.

    • @TheRandomno
      @TheRandomno 8 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      EDIT: I was looking at the wrong record, it's 52.

    • @JoeyLamontagne
      @JoeyLamontagne 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      My question is, was it verbally asked or already written, then it's impressive that BOTH the questioner and the answerer can get 52 or even 45 in one minute.

    Richard taking the extra half-second to go “Central African Republic!” Is likely what cost him the first attempt.

      They probably didn't count "Congo" as correct for "Brazzaville". There's two Congos so they would probably only have accepted "Republic of the Congo".

    Was this Pointless Celebrities or just regular Pointless with celebrity contestants? Either way, it must have been pretty low on banter if they managed to fit the world record shenanigans in to the 45 minutes.

      @@Sundae_Times You've replied to a comment that included a question. A question that you are obviously unable to answer.
      Your reply told the world that the television programme Pointless (or Pointless Celebrities, we haven't actually established which) is edited.
      This is a fact that no one asked about or disputed. You've added nothing to the human understanding of the world or the structure of this particular episode of Pointless (or Pointless Celebrities).

Do you agree with my hypothesis? That question is open to everyone.

      Go to sporcle (or a similar site), try it out. Also, manudude is correct - time IS an issue. I would know all 50 US states, but how quickly when prompted I don't know.
