BTW, none of the three contestants even attempted a question.

Not surprising that no one even attempted an answer, it was a poorly worded clue. Few Americans have ever heard of a 60 year old Slimline or a Speedmaster, much less associating the names with a watch. And if you don't know they are watches the name 'Omega' isn't going to pop into your mind with only FIVE seconds to come up with the correct question, "What is Omega?"

I don’t think that’s a fair criticism.

The subject was pretty obvious from the name “Tick Tock”. There was another question in that category asking about the city which had a tower clock made by Seiko. Two contestants said “Geneva” and “Zurich”, before the third figured out that Seiko was actually Japanese and said “Tokyo”. He made double, as the other two lost points.

These three simply knew very little about horology.

In a country with 300M people, there got to be at least 150M people below average intelligence.😀. You got the most intelligent people on earth and some not so fortunate.

Please dont hate your selves, the rest of the world can do that for you.

Well, If we are using IQ as the measurement Then I think the Standard idea is that distribution is like a bell curve.

So I am anticipating a thread lock before I wake up tomorrow morning- this is how I see it going:

US member posts funny about non watch or pop culture literate Americans.
Some US members get a little bent about the anti-American sentiment
Other US members dig into making fun of Americans
Non US members say yeah, stupid is everywhere, but you guys have plenty
US members make fun of random Americana
US member gets pissy about anti-US
Cats
Trump & Biden
Biden isn’t relevant anymore, shut-up
I miss Vannah White
Wrong show you idiot
Cats
Flat earth
Alex Tribek was actually a Russian spy

Admittedly, we, like every other country, have our moments, but we damn sure didn’t open the Olympics with men in drag mocking the Last Supper for the world to see. There’s enough stupid to go around for everyone to have their fair share of examples, regardless of what country you live in.
