The Einstein Factor

There's a quiz show on Australian television, called "The Einstein Factor." The contestants are complete nerds, and the questions so obsure that it reminded me of the ridiculously arcane questions from the move "Quiz Show" (about the "21" game show scandal of the 1950s). Each contestant announces a topic, from which the questions are drawn. The easiest ones for me are about American politics (duh), but I seriously doubt I would get a single correct answer for topics like Phar Lap (the best-known Australian race horse), the History of the Eurovision Song Contest, or King Sargon of Assyria (721-705 BCE). I love how they put the dates on the Sargon questions, as if people would get confused about which King Sargon they were asking about.
