Let's talk about the recent clip that has been making its rounds on social media. It's from an episode of the quiz show Tipping Point, which aired last year and has resurfaced this week. The clip features a contestant named Hanifa, a primary school teacher from London, who was trying her luck at winning some prize money on the show hosted by Ben Shephard.
Hanifa was doing pretty well until she came across a question that left her stumped. The question was about the end of the Cold War in 1989 and specifically asked which US president declared it at the Malta Summit. Hanifa, who had studied A Level history, was torn between two options - JFK and Abraham Lincoln. She even mentioned that she should know this, but couldn't seem to remember the answer.
After some hesitation, Hanifa went with JFK, only to be told by Ben that the correct answer was actually George H.W Bush. Ben then gently reminded her that JFK was president in the 1960s, while Lincoln was a century earlier. It was then that Hanifa realized her mistake and admitted that she was way off.
Of course, this moment was captured on camera and has left many people in stitches. Some have even taken to social media to share their thoughts, with one user calling it "absolutely f***ing extraordinary." Another person joked about their own struggles with trivia challenges, while someone else pointed out that the format of the show allows for such mistakes to still lead to winning money.
But let's not forget the real lesson here - always double check your historical facts before answering a question on a quiz show! And as for Hanifa, we hope she's not too hard on herself for this little slip-up. Tipping Point is currently streaming on ITVX, in case you want to relive this hilarious moment.
