      @CarlosFernandez-fh1lj 3 місяці тому +4

      The question was about words which had similar prefix pronunciation (knight/needle). Starting with an “n” sound. Geoff answered as if the question asked what words sound the same in their entirety (knight/kite). Geoff focused on the suffix sound of “ite/ight.” “Now” grammatically could be correct, but for some reason the only correct answer was needle.

      Knight is /naɪt/, Needle is /'ni:dəl and now is /naʊ/. I answered this above, but actually needle is the wrong answer. The phonetic transcription has knight and now beginning with the same sound only. They also don't teach this in k12 so technically needle and now should still both be the correct answer. Unless teachers have just given up (which kinda think they have to be honest)

    • @Kazutoification
      @Kazutoification 10 років тому

      I think the question was asking for the actual sound from the first letter and vowel. So, needle has a 'neee' sound and now has a 'nuh' sound. Knight also has a 'nuh' sound. Perhaps that's what the question was asking.

    • @MurdocBack
      @MurdocBack 10 років тому

      Knight and needle has a "e/i" pronunciation after the "n" sound, whilst now has a more "a" related pronunciation. This makes "needle", sound more like "knight" than "now".
      So for the official American English language, needle would be the most likely candidate.

      You have to read it as being spelt by an English speaker though. «J» is pronounced 'ji' which in English terms is the sound of the 's' in 'measure' and the 'long E' sound, so 'zhee' would be a sensible way to spell it phonetically. How would you have wanted them to spell it?

      No, it was terrifically worded. All points on the surface of the Earth (except the poles) constantly travel to the East. ***** (suitably) identified it as a trick question, and it's tricky in exactly the way that it tricked Gavin.

    • @tatyboy1337
      @tatyboy1337 10 років тому +9

      tibschris Trick questions aren't hard, they're just stupid.
      That is the part of the question you /don't/ need to read, because that's stating a fact. Gavin starts reading, realises he knows the fact, then moves on to the question part of the question. Trick questions are designed for smart-arse 10 year olds who don't know anything, so instead get easy questions like that.

    • @tibschris
      @tibschris 10 років тому +2

      Tatyboy1337 Maybe it's because I'm an astrophysicist so that particular question couldn't trick me. A better question would have been "which way does the Earth rotate to cause the Sun to appear to rise and set? [East] [West]"
      Yeah, questions that _intend to trick_ aren't fair. This is just a poor game all-round.

    • @endzordays
      @endzordays 6 років тому +21

      Knight is /naɪt/, Needle is /'ni:dəl and now is /naʊ/. That's the phonetic transcription for each of those 3 words. Needle is actually the wrong answer because it's phonetic transcription is /'n where as now perfectly matches knight with /n. However they definitely aren't teaching phonetic transcription to k12 students so that entire question is garbage as the answer should be now and needle.

    • @Nyrata
      @Nyrata 10 років тому +9

      Trust me, I'm always very careful when posting comments online, if only because I'm not a native speaker and every word I choose I think about if it's right or wrong in context. I don't see anything offensive about my comment. Not only is the focus of it clearly positive, it doesn't begin to compare to all the rape and death threats and curses people post daily on all kinds of outlets. True, as horrible as it is, cancer is a real thing. But nowhere did I mitigate cancer or it's effects; instead I focussed on the extreme positive effect of Geoff's laugh. Happiness can cure mental hurt and that too can effect a person's physical health. Those who get depressed during the process of fighting cancer are more likely to stay sick longer, or never get better at all, compared to those who have a fighter-mentality. I'm sure most people can feel that positivity which fuels a good attitude in this video. So, in a sense, there is truth in my comment.
      And, some well-meant friendly advise... if you really found that comment offensive, I suggest you never travel to the Low Countries. People wish all kinds of horrible deaths and diseases upon each other every day. Unless you can handle a healthy daily dose of 'I hope you get the typhus and die in a ditch', you might wanna stay away...

    • @DrBreakfastMachine

      If Gavin stopped and looked at the answers more closely I'm sure he would have figured it out but he focused on trying to do the math in his head and eventually just picked a random answer because he got frustrated. Honestly, I didn't get the question either because I was in the same boat as Gavin, trying to count out the days instead of looking at the answers to see if there was an easier way.
      Plus he's not the one who said that kite starts with the same sound as knight.

      Actually the number of days in June DOES matter, at least determining whether it has 30 or 31 days, to then determine how many days May has. If May 3rd falls on wednesday, and may has 31 days, then June 1st falls on a thursday so answer is 21st. But if May has 30 days, june 1st is a wednesday, thus the third wednesday is the 15th.

See, this is what made JonTron leave Game Grumps. As soon as he left, people were whining that it wasn't the same without him. I'd bet if Jack left, people would do exactly the same thing. As far as I'm concerned, Jack (if you're reading this), keep doing what you're doing at RT. And when people complain, which they will, just rub it in their faces that you've got a job at a great company that the majority of the fanbase would kill for. And enjoy relishing in your victory.

    Come on guys (people in the comments), I've never defended Gavin in anything, but this I understand how he thinks. Gavin is really really REALLY smart, it just takes him a longer time to figure problems out, especially with numbers. He does work like this in a slow manner because he probably wants to make sure he gets it right. I know because I can relate to him; I get straight A's in school, and a GPA of 4.0 with honors classes and AP classes, but I have to take a class called CA (curriculum assistance) because I'm a slower worker. That doesn't mean I'm stupid, I just like to take my time during tests and other work, and CA gives me extra time to do that because I do worst on tests knowing that I have limited time and would then stress out over it, making me lose concentration. If I lost CA, I would still be smart, but my grades would fall because I don't have enough time to finish a test.
    Sorry if I went too deep on my school life, I was just trying to make a point I guess. But Gavin ISN'T stupid, he is just slower at working, which would make other people (not just the AH members) think he's stupid because they can figure things out before him.

It just means he worked in school, doesn't make him smart. Because see he may be book smart but he definitely isn't street smart.

      snowdogmula "K-night" starts with a strong 'Ni' sound; "needle" starts with a strong 'Ni' sound. Unlike, "Now", which starts with a soft 'Na' sound. :)

    • @scrunchmeehehe8096
      @scrunchmeehehe8096 10 років тому +12

      What the fucking hell. Of course many schools and 2nd graders study more than english. By that time, we were studying spanish, french, english and galician. Then in 3rd grade, when I moved to america french was still a compulsive option. What kind of school did you go to??? Because learning languages since you're practically a kid is pretty damn important to become something.

      Would love to point out, no public school and the majority of private/charter schools in the world do NOT start a third language in primary schools, nor do they go anywhere as in depth in science, world geography, math, history, or health. Those questions are pulled from 6th grade and up

      ://ReaperReaper In california in the first and second grade we had to take spanish when I was a kid, as well as 6th and 7th grade requiring you to take either a full year of french or spanish. Both are considered primary school so you are wrong.

    @Falcon4224 8 років тому +257

    So many problems with this game.
    1. It has unreleastic expectations of school kids. What American 1st Grader knows French? I finished High School and I don't know French. The game thinks 2nd Graders should know all the state shapes and their border relations, yet I didn't learn that till 4th grade. And 5th Graders should know how big the moons of Jupiter are? I didn't even study ANY kind of Astronomy until 8th Grade.
    2. Buggy. The "Knight" question proves that.
    3. It's subjective. "Who had the first great Navy in the Mediterranean?" What defines "great"? Is it relative to the rest of the region, in which case 2 military ships can mean great? Is there a set number of ships? Is it based on number of ships, quality of ships, or quality of soldiers? How organized a command structure do you need to be "great"?
    This is why I stopped watching the show long ago. It's so stupid.

    • @VolvagiasBlaze
      @VolvagiasBlaze 8 років тому +46

      I know right, that last question alone had 3 possible answers! Phoenicia was the first to have a vast ammount of ships, but most of them were used for commerce, so i don´t know if you could consider them a navy. Greece was the first to have a legit naval army capable of warding off invaders. And Italy (technically Rome, but they want countries) had the first navy that was used to conquer on a large scale. Man fuck this shit.

    • @gerythionargarys7848
      @gerythionargarys7848 8 років тому +20

      Minoans were far before Phoenicians, if they were going to go down the semantics route (as they did) then it should have been the Minoans. But no, the people who made the game are even dumber than 5th graders, so I guess I can't expect that much from them.

      @hexcal 10 років тому +7

      They all begin with the alveolar nasal, or /n/. It's probably one of those elementary school things they teach kids in order to (supposedly) simplify it, only for them to later learn that what they thought they knew is total bullshit.

    • @HyperLuigi37

    • @kirillnikonov6662
      @kirillnikonov6662 10 років тому +1

      Well, if i had to choose one, it would definitely be 'Now'. They asked for a word starting with the same sound, and Knight/Now start with hard n while Needle starts with soft n, so i don't get why it's needle... I'm not sure if americans make the difference though.

    • @Nickyyy-
      @Nickyyy- 10 років тому

      Knight starts with "nu", now starts with "nu". I think this is correct because nothing else makes sense while if you sound it out my way sort of sounds right in a way.
