Late night quiz tv question

[manker]

I'm having trouble sorting out the ones who are rodding about the 'sideways 8' and the ones who aren't

[manker]

Or even 90°.

The pets bit; if for each pet (cats and dogs) they had those other animals (birds, goldfish and mice) - then surely they would constitute pets too.

This makes the total number = ∞

I thought that too, it was really stupid, a question that ran for an hour and was worth 5 grand why the fuck did'nt they explain? stupid twats
