My goofy brain works much the same way. I am often able to quickly recall very strange things that I might not have seen in decades, I always say: I have an innate ability to remember useless crap.
However, I also tend to get "over-excited" under pressure, and fear I would not be able to quickly read the clues faster than Alex. If you can't do that, you have no chance.
It's easy on the couch.... where I routinely CRUSH everyone! :-)

It also helps if you have a curious mind and are a voracious consumer of books/tv/film. That way you have a large base of exposure for facts your brian can retain.
Our school valedictorian was a friend of mine. Very intelligent mind for figures, and very smart, obviously. Was TERRIBLE at trivia. No matter how much he studied such things, he’d never be good at it.

You might be surprised. Like I said, the game moves so quickly there’s no time to think about the fact that you’re on TV. It really doens’t even FEEL like you’re on TV. And not just because it’s taped and not live. The set and the studio audience are smaller than they look from home. I almost felt like I was in a smaller space like in my house where I obviously would have felt relaxed.
