@@orianalewis4266 It's less math and more quirks of the English language. When Lee said the height of the tree is 2/3rds (of the total height) plus 1/3rd, the implication is that the third is reffering to the total height of the tree. What David is doing is taking the other valid interpretation of the statement, which is that '1/3rd' is relative to the partial height of the tree, i.e. the height of the tree was 2/3rds plus 1/3rd (of the 2/3rds). With this interpretation, the tree's full height would be, as David says, 3/4 + (1/3 of 3/4), or 2/3 + (1/2 of 2/3). Both add up to 1, a.k.a the full height of the tree.

I’m glad I’m not the only one, I did the same thing! It’s an absolute monster of a book and is about as long as ‘War and Peace’. I’ve currently got it stashed under my bed. The irony is I’m still absolutely rubbish at quiz shows haha. What about you?

The first one was a lie because you can only trigger an airbag with a g-force sensor in the front frame. This is the fear people get about airbags, depicted in comedy shows as blowing for little reason. And the phrase should be "Red sky at night, *sailors* delight, red sky at dawn, sailors be warned". It's an adage warning of impending weather.
@@Abigart69 no, it should be sailors. It's an old mariners rhyme, because the weather is pretty important to sailors, and not so much to Shepards. To be so confidently wrong

I didn’t even know until now that Ronald Reagan beating Walter Mondale was a world record and I lived in the USA in the eighties. Amazing ! It took a British panel show for me to know that!
He got the numbers wrong. Reagan beat Mondale in the popular vote 58.8% to 40.6%, not 70/30. By comparison, in 1972 Nixon beat McGovern 60.7-37.5 and Johnson beat Goldwater 61.1-38.5 in 1964.
I'm Welsh, and Alex Jones.... usually gets right up my nose ad she acts so dim... rarely funny, but for once, I giggled at that comment about the skirt and who cares... there may be hope yet! I really liked Stacy Dooley. Bit like a cockney Louis Theroux...
I wish I got the regional jokes more. From one of the Guy Ritchie lines “southern fairies” and “northern monkeys” I get the impression the southerners are considered more posh and perhaps more metropolitan? While the northerners are perhaps more brash, blue collar and let’s say match less refined - as a stereotype? And it seems the Welsh get the worst of the jokes?
18:10 ... SAILORS ... " Red sky at night ; SAILORS delight - Red sky in morning ; SAILORS take warning " The sky reflects whether there are Storm Clouds/ Rain Storms on the horizon ... " Red Sky " means clear whether approaching ... no "red sky" reflected in the sky means there are NO clouds / rain storms coming.
Shepherd? o.O ..... nono. "Red skies at night SAILOR'S delight. Red skies in morning sailors take warning." That makes a lot more sense than "shepherd" doesn't it?
He could have turned the money down. Or the car company might believe it was his fault. By that logic, we shouldn’t hear about any major car defect, ever.

if there's any other actual oscar winner besides Olivia Colman that's appeared on the show (regardless of the timing of the win) I can't think of any (and btw, yes I am an american and pretty much embarrassed to be one anymore, but this is not me suggesting that the oscars are "better" than the baftas or anything like that lol but they certainly are different, and bafta winners are surely at least a bit more common in the show's lore)
Olivia has worked with David since the Cambridge Footlight days and was one of the main supporting cast members on That Mitchell & Webb Sound/Look. Before that they were on a sketch show with Martin Freeman called Bruiser.
It bugs me that everyone just believes that David is correct about the tree-math issue, when it was just a semantic issue, not maths at all. When Lee says 'plus a third', he obviously means another third of the tree, but when David says 'plus a half', he means a half of the total height the man is at. The most natural understanding is 'plus another third of the tree', and it was really a kind of bigotry that the 'posh guy' is the clever one, plus Lee's lack of confidence on the spot, that allowed David's deliberate misunderstanding to sound like poor maths on Lee's part.
David is famous for his pedantry. I think someone better at me would need to determine what the reference was, but Olivia asked how tall the tree was, and lee stated it was where the man was plus a third. In the original assessment the person's position was relative to the tree 2/3, but Lee changed the height to be relative to where the man was. David picked up on that and suggested that it couldn't be both of those descriptions at one time. I believe that David is correct that formally Lee changed the reference point linguistically speaking. However, I believe that Lee's informal description would be sufficient for the average person.
@@galinageorgieva8554 try and keep up. The OP was saying they assumed David was right simply because David is supposedly posh. I was pointing out that they make fun of David about being posh so it obviously isn't a class thing like the OP was foolishly suggesting

What's being black got to do with not knowing 'red sky at night'? I imagine a lot of black people know it.
