Q: Marinus of Tyre was the first person to name which southerly continent?

A: Africa!

[TheWinner]

I wouldn't have known that.   Why shoud they be ridiculed? at least they had a guess, rather than passing. I wonder why you bother watching it.

[sandyRoe]

Antarctica or Australia?

[ToraToraTora]

21:30 but you know it's not Africa! The actual answer is as usual irrelevant.

[douglas9401]

Africa is southerly from Tyre.

[TheWinner]

yeah, but at least they had a go. (I didn't watch it today).

[naomi24]

Another one that doesn't work, TTT.  The contestant had a best guess.  Not so bad.

[ToraToraTora]

Antarctica or Australia would have been non TWAU. Africa is on the equator

It might have been funny if they'd said Pirelli.

Why are you showing us a map of Africa doug? Lots of things are South of Tyre. Europe is south of here but I would not say it's a southern continent.

[tomus42]

Half of it's south of the equator. It's not an obviously stupid answer.

[ToraToraTora]

21:58 it is when there are 2 that are completely south of the equator and Africa was known about a lot more recently than Antarctica.

[tomus42]

No. I like these TWAUs but if there isn't a valid just leave it until there is.
