    Gary is kinda right about a connection between Cornwall and Brittany. During the Anglo-Saxon invasions, a lot of Britons fled/migrated to Brittany; including notable Welsh saints Gildas, Méen, and well, Austol. There are also a lot of similar place names such as Cornouaille/Cornwall and Domnonée/Devon.
    Brittany is also referred to as Britannia Minor or Little Britain (which is why the island is called *Great* Britain)

    Gary’s Cornwall and France comments were funny and interesting to me, because Brittany/Bretagne/Breizh/Bertaèyn (in various languages of the region and English) is a region of France sticking out of the north-western part of the country, not actually that far from Cornwall, in which one of the regional languages that they speak (Breton) is related to Cornish! Cornish (or Kernewek/Kernowek) is a Brittonic language related to the Southwest Brittonic languages that are/have been spoken in modern-day South West England, Wales, and Brittany. The name ‘Breton’ is related etymologically to the name ‘Britain’, as you might now suppose. So Cornwall and Brittany are actually culturally very close in a way, in that they share a common (somewhat distant) heritage, (somewhat) ancient culture/set of cultures, and language family - it’s a really interesting rabbit hole of information to fall down, if you’ve ever got a minute! (Someone further down in the comments posted some of the historical context as to why this is the case, and as they say, it has to do with Britons from Wales/the Cornwall area and thereabouts moving down to the area and founding Brittany, under the legendary figure Conan Meriadoc.)

    The problem with the idea that Matt did the laughing fit to throw Tom off the scent of the real one is that Matt stands to gain nothing from doing so. The rule system is a player gets a point if Tom picks their true answer. There are no points for tricking Tom.
    I do personally think the point system should be
    Tom gets 1 point when he correctly identifies the truth.
    Players that are lying get 1 point when they successfully trick Tom (he picks their answer as true).
    But those arn't the rules so Matt gains nothing by trying to throw Tom off.
