Please give me Frank Skinner’s age, in minutes.
Task notes
- In order to break the episode tie between Josh and Romesh, a tie-breaker question is posed to the two contestants.
- They have to guess fellow contestant Frank Skinner’s age in minutes. The contestant who guesses closest to the true answer wins the episode.
- Frank’s actual age (at the time of the recording) is 30,505,028 minutes (approximately 58 years old), so Josh wins the tie-breaker by being 0.16% closer to - but still over 99% away from - the correct answer.
