As usual a lot of the parents are barmy.

I wonder whether they'd enter themselves if there was just a Genius competition.

Holly does not want to be there does she?

'My child doesn't like attention -I know, I'll put her on the tv!'

Please forgive me if I'm wrong but this isn't 'child genius' stuff but 'stuff we can remember'. Just being able to remember stuff doesn't make you a genius.

I don't know, Pipbin; it's not stuff you could just remember if there was no context. And the Maths questions certainly couldn't be pre-prepared.

Damn! Missed first bit. Only seen a bit of Holly. She doesn't look a very happy child, poor thing Hmm

I hate it when they go out in the early rounds if the later rounds are their strengths.

Report
Pipbin · 30/06/2015 21:32

Ahh, I've only seen them doing general knowledge questions. I didn't see the other rounds.

In my opinion it should be problem solving and lateral thinking.

Why has she named one of her sons after a green leafy vegetable?

I find it interesting that the proportion of non white British children is much higher than in the population as a whole.

Wow. This is a hard (and pretty pointless) round.
