QI, Series I
[On the I series "Nobody knows" bonus]
Bill Bailey:
What are the points that you gain by using it correctly?
Stephen Fry:
I think we all agree that nobody in this universe understands QI's scoring system.
Bill Bailey:
Right. So, by that logic, were we to raise the subject of the scoring system, and I was to do that, [holds up his "Nobody knows" card] then… [he's cut off by laughter and applause]
Alan Davies:
He's made a very good point.
Stephen Fry:
Somehow, I feel like I'm trapped in an infinite loop. Yes, fortunately that isn't one of the questions.
David Mitchell:
If it were in a hypothetical round a question - "What is the QI scoring system?" - and then "Nobody knows", [mimics lifting up the card] what would happen to the person who does the QI scoring? Would they not then feel rather sad? They are at least presumably sitting there thinking that they know.
[In the end of the discussion, it turns out that Bill has been rewarded three points for his insight]
