I never noticed, the OP wasn't in the USA. That's why I watched FOX four.

Am I right in thinking some of you managed to watch this program from start to finish? The whole way through, the whole hour? If you did, respect.
I managed maybe 5 minutes, as far as when they asked some kid "so, how much do you want to win this competition?" and he replied "pi...without the decimal point....that's a really big number".
Made me feel physically sick.
Turned over to the Ancient Aliens on the "History" channel, that's always good for a laugh.
Why did that make you feel so bad, Matt? I thought that was a witty response. Very clever, infact. I watched it the whole way through and I'll be watching it next week too.

Dunno really, maybe seemed like trying too hard to be clever.
Actually I suspect it may have been scripted: "Please don't make me say the pi thing, I get bullied enough at school as it is!" "Just say the line kid, or you're off the show"

Trying to pigeonhole me, Steve?
I read whatever interests me and is free, left on a seat, featured on the internet or thrown up by a search. Articles from the heavyweights on the net, The Sun at work and Huffington Post daily (I have a penchant for bitchy/humorous celebrity comment).
I draw the line at the Daily Sport though, just noticing that paper makes me feel more stupid.
Hehehe.....Who? Me?! Of course not,i would'nt dream of pidgeonholing you Doggy! Nevertheless, a very pragmatic reply,very Liberal 
Yes indeed! I myself enjoy the third page and cryptic musings at coffeetime.
I agree with you regarding the Daily Sport,if there were a collective noun for such a group of readers it's certain to have a primitive meaning.The child genius must feel like a Guardian reader at breaktime surrounded by Sunday sport readers...." How can i soar like an eagle when i'm surrounded by a flock of turkeys"

Thanks 2Q, I was a bitter old man back then.
Just looked up Joshua Altman, he's rated 1727 on the FIDE list. Unrated now on the ECF list, so I suspect he's quit chess.
Or maybe he posts here . . .

Let me know if you can see it.
