However, the opposition are stuck on double or single figures (you can tell by the 5) so this is an absolute demolition with Zeng being the main destroyer.

    Everybody saying that Zeng carried his whole team, answered b4 the judge finished and the others didn't help. Everyone is strong at their own subject, Zeng is good at geography and sciemce. Sheriff is good at literature. Mays is good in a wide aspects of subject and Jackson is good at music knowledge. And for anyone saying Mays just copies Zeng's answer, Mays is the team captain and has to say every answer or nominate someone else. Hope this can stop the commotion.
    Edit: I did some research and basically this Singapore news channel is biased to Singaporeans. So for example when Rashid answered wrongly they added the laughing meme and only shows a compilation of Zeng answering, undermining the others. They also put captions like "??" or "help max" which isn't very appropriate for a news channel.

      All the team members have a suspect that they specialize in. If you watch the full video, you'll see that they all contribute to answering the questions. This is obviously edited to show that the Singaporean kid is superior to his teammates, when he really isn't. It's just showing a compilation of him answering questions.

      But a lot of those questions arent really good incator of intelligence. But more like knowing very useless random infos
      For example, how on earth is knowing a english poet that died in the 1400 important
      Why is knowing president mentioned in manifest destiny poem important
      Why is knowing a random country region and its capital important
      Like whats next they gonna ask in which city a english king vommited in public 😆 this is how you mesure intelligence according to them 😆

Each participant has an area of speciality, and Zeng’s was geography. This video is mostly cut clips of the geography questions.

      The quiz master on this show is Jeremy Paxman, an expert political interviewer, particularly known for an interview in which he just keeps asking the British Home Secretary at the time, "Did you threaten to overrule him?" and the politician keeps trying to dodge the question, looking weaker each time because he doesn't want to give a straight answer. So in a sense this job, where he asks quiz questions to smart university students, is easier because you can say "Wrong" when they're wrong.
