Jonathan and Josh play FUNKQUEST with Johannes Mallow, the 2012 World Memory Champion and holder of seven memory sports world records. We put his skills to the test by asking him to memorise 20 random words and recall them at the end of the show.
Question 1
Joshua chose the 'Dog'
How handy is a dishwasher?
Johannes picked the 'Car'
How much of what you learned at school helps you now?
Question 2
Joshua wanted the 'Cyclists'
How long have you gone without sleep?
Johannes liked the 'Old Map and Compass'
Which text book from school did you never return?
Question 3
Joshua picked the 'Red Shoes'
How much is success based on luck or hard work?
Johannes chose the 'Polar Bears'
What helps you concentrate?
Question 4
Joshua plumped for the 'Goose'
When did you last use a public telephone?
Johannes picked the 'Snake'
When did you go to a major sporting event?
Question 5
Josh wanted the 'Books'
What was the largest meal you ever had?
Johannes chose the 'Treasure Chest'
How close have you been to the South Pole?
What is FunkQuest ?
FunkQuest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.
Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures)
Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.
Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.
Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.
We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.
We call this FUNK.
The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.
What's so good about FUNKQUEST ?
The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!
You get to hear new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.
Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.
