Yes and nearly twice the size of the next largest (Canada). I think he means that the 2D map we're all most accustomed to unnaturally inflates the countries in the Northern Hemisphere. Just not to the degree he expects.
As soon as he said that, I paused the video and took a trip to the comments section looking for someone to insult Trott's intelligence; I'm glad I found this comment almost immediately.
Mgrow China is the next largest then the US and THEN Canada, and its over 2 million km^2 less then twice the size of Canada. Where did you get your info? lol
@@sirBrouwer What do you mean "former name"? It's still called the Greenwich Meridian and GMT. (The UK does have daylight savings time, though, so "BST" - British Standard Time - is used to denote GMT + daylight savings adjustment. But GMT itself doesn't change, as that's the reference point for all time zones.)
"is GMT latitude or longitude?" ranks up there as one of the dumbest things they've said in this game so far. Smith does know what time zones are, right? Right???
I like how Trott berates Smith for picking Russia since it's so far North that it's size is out of proportion when he himself picked Canada which has even more oversized bits.
However, batteries made from vases have been unearthed in modern day Iraq that pre-dated Gutenberg by centuries. Maybe thats what Smith was thinking of and Hasbro neglected to remember?
@@edwardpiper2749 they did know that electricity was a thing they didn't know exact what it was but they will have known about it. Especially static electricity. they also known that if you did it wright it could be used as a spark for a fire. it was most likey that they saw electricity as a kind of fire.
Relating to this same question, the ancient Greeks made, what could be considered, a computer. The Antikythera Mechanism automatically tracked the movements of celestial bodies in our solar system and could even predict eclipses. It was lost when it was being transported and the ship it was on sunk. I think the question should read; "Which of these inventions was patented the earliest?"
The ancient Egyptians did effectively create a battery, however they didn't use it as a battery and used the technology to electroplate instead. They didn't understand that they could have harnessed the electrons released in the chemical reaction as a form of energy, so it's debatable to say whether they actually invented the battery since it was never used as such.
Excuse me? 6:53 Sliced bread was invented since bread and knives existed, do you think the medieval peasants just ripped bread in to halves with their bare hands?
So for those who give a damn, a league varies in length depending on where you are in the world, but in general it's about 3 miles. It's based on how far a person can walk in an hour.
where is the meridian time zone 0? was the question. You would think someone living in the UK would know that they live at the meridian it goes trade true the UK.
How did they fuck up the inventions question so much, I swear they know the whole Betty White is older than sliced bread thing. Not one of them knew about Gutenberg
I think Ross offered me some of that chilli pepper at i60 when I met them, either I accept and end up in a video, or i refuse and am allowed to enjoy the rest of the convention without a burning mouth. I took the biting option :/
LIES!! Mike is clearly superior at trivia games, I demand a (potentially physical boardgame) rematch! hahaha Also, welp, Mike's got me sold, haha, gotta buy that hoodie at some point this week!!
smith getting high and mighty but he thought the sun gave us our gravity
Earth is flat and the sun is the center of the universe, so why wouldn't it pull is down? 🤔
Its obviously the moon
I don't understand how Smith gets so many questions right on a completely wrong basis :D
LeFoothunter yeah for the prime meridian using his own logic he should have picked Asia yet he chose Europe and got the question right
@@frognibbler when you're wrong about being wrong, you're right
Chris "Russia's not that big" Trott
Its bigger in area than fucking pluto
He's right that it's not as big as most maps portray it, ie. the Mercator-ish maps, but it's indeed still the biggest country by far.
Aka "I've never heard of an heptagon" Trott
I want that to be Trotts nickname in the next poker game he plays on stream
@@KarstenOkk But he was comparing it to Greenland, which is on the same latitude. So the Mercator effect is exactly the same.
Sips has let himself go
Thought I’d clicked on a Stewart Lee video for a moment there.
Mike looks better than Sips though
Sips let himself go a loooong time ago
Chris trott thinks Russia is just a little bigger than Greenland let that sink in
Russia is 17 million Square kilometres and Greenland is 2. Only a tad bigger
did smiffy actually say "is gmt latitude or longitude"?!? i am flabbergasted
David Finsén a man of culture
they're very similar words that have pretty similar meanings
Trott, Russia is the biggest country in the world
Yes and nearly twice the size of the next largest (Canada). I think he means that the 2D map we're all most accustomed to unnaturally inflates the countries in the Northern Hemisphere. Just not to the degree he expects.
it also is a gas giant
OzonCZ
The moon is the only gas planet you idiot😒

Are time zones latitude or longitude??? Come on Smith...
Peak ignorance.
"I always think to myself, where IS Big Ben?"
forgetting that they are on the time zone it self. it former name is bases on a observatory in the UK
@@sirBrouwer What do you mean "former name"?
It's still called the Greenwich Meridian and GMT.
(The UK does have daylight savings time, though, so "BST" - British Standard Time - is used to denote GMT + daylight savings adjustment. But GMT itself doesn't change, as that's the reference point for all time zones.)
@@klaxoncow O i got confused with UTC. (not a real difference they use the same time as the base.)
Trott literally doesn't know his shapes

As we know, the northern axis of Earth centers on Mexico.
@@Xanthanarium Mexico? no Ecuador why do you think it got it's name?
right up there with trott saying russia isn't that big
@@bobtillich8306 it isn't Russia is only as big as my hand on this beach ball.
Ah yes, the famous European Taj Mahal.
There is a taj in brighton
@@laylamctavish8122 Isn't it called The Royal Pavilion?
No clue
Mike is one of those guys who has a gulp of water every time he gets a question right on a game show.
Might be time to visit the prime meridian centre at Greenwich guys.. Learn about latitude and longitude and whatnot
How can I watch this without Trott screaming "MY CAT!"?
Please bring sjinfacts sjin on. You need the subs anyways
J158n cant do that anymore
Thank you for announcing questions and categories. It makes this a lot more fun to listen to.
Merch Mike, when can we expect some top hats?
I wanna like so bad, but you're on 69 likes :'(
^^asking the real questions. I'll buy 10
"It's stupid! That was a low for me!" -Alex "Venus is a gas giant" Smith
Ooh love a bit of Mike
Smith still thinks aluminium doesn't conduct 22:28
Alex: *barely beats Mike by one question*
Also Alex: “Mike I thought you said you were good at this game?”
It's called banter. He knows he only barely beat him, but Mike talked such a big game at the start.
On this weeks episode of alsmiffy pretends to know the answer
Come on guys, she came from Greece, she had a thirst for knowledge. What an iconic song
Bless trott he isn’t the brightest bulb in the Hat.
I like how Trott berates Smith for picking Russia since it's so far North that it's size is out of proportion when he himself picked Canada which has even more oversized bits.
6:50 they also haven't acknowledged the fact that the Chinese made a printing press more than 500 years before Gutenberg
High-Tea also known as Haiti to some.
To be fair in some languages (Spanish for example) it's Haití which is pronounced similarly
As a kid I always heard it said like "hai-ii-ti" but lately I just hear "hay-ti"
My boy Merch Mike
The Egyptians made capacitors not batteries.
Brynx why would they need either as electricity wasn’t discovered for another 2 thousand years or so
However, batteries made from vases have been unearthed in modern day Iraq that pre-dated Gutenberg by centuries. Maybe thats what Smith was thinking of and Hasbro neglected to remember?
@@HiringHamblin Well what they think MAY have been a battery, but it's very unlikely that it was.

"Is GMT latitude or longitude?" -AlexSmith 2019
5:25 Here in New Zealand we say it "ci cay da" lol, so it sounds funny to me how you are saying it
Smith is so insecure aha
Trott: Russia's not that big
Me: Fun fact Russia is the same area as the surface area of Pluto
''Russia is deceptively big" - Chris Trott
come on smith, are time zones latitude or longitude? really...
Flukier Jupiter It's a valid question considering time zones are globehead propaganda
the question about the monkey was a dead gibbonway
Always go for the pun when gibbon the opportunity.
17:00 "Is GMT Latitude or Longitude?" -Alex Smith
Smith [shoving his own foot into his mouth]: gosh, I'm smart
‘Is GMT latitude or longitude?’ I think smith needs a quick refresher on how time zones work.
"Russia is actually not that big"
Russia: 17.100.000 km²
Europe: 10.180.000 km²
Whenever I feel stupid, I watch these videos to feel smart
Trott not knowing what a heptagon is, if only he counted the sides to a 50 pence piece and a 20 pence piece.
If only he counted the sides in ancient greek
Aluminium doesn't conduct electricity was pretty bad. But lets not forget "The strength of gravity is determined by a planets proximity to the Sun"
The ancient Egyptians did effectively create a battery, however they didn't use it as a battery and used the technology to electroplate instead. They didn't understand that they could have harnessed the electrons released in the chemical reaction as a form of energy, so it's debatable to say whether they actually invented the battery since it was never used as such.
cicada is pronounced sick-aid-ah :D
Not an Egyptian battery, it was Persian and people don't think it was a battery any more anyway.
professional outro
Interestingly enough, to my knowledge there was a Chinese printing press far before Gutenburg's, but he refined the process
Excuse me? 6:53
Sliced bread was invented since bread and knives existed, do you think the medieval peasants just ripped bread in to halves with their bare hands?
You can genuinely hear the bassy rumble of Smith's fart lmao
Cicada, at least in midwest America, is pronounced like "sic-kay-da"
Those Egyptian vases were capacitors I am pretty sure. Not batteries
The one with the USSR’s countries, everyone went straight to the ones they took over lol
The Egyptian battery thing was an urban myth, I think
So for those who give a damn, a league varies in length depending on where you are in the world, but in general it's about 3 miles. It's based on how far a person can walk in an hour.
I wanna see some bouphe!!! Hello my fellow scrubscribers.
Said no one ever.
weavil underwood you know the only time you can legally say the n word is in this circumstance? Do not insult boof.
where is the meridian time zone 0? was the question. You would think someone living in the UK would know that they live at the meridian it goes trade true the UK.
You all *LIVE* by the Prime Meridian.
Tbh the only reason I knew the answer to the Common People question was from the citizenship test Lewis and Simon did all them years ago.
Ooooooo the pursuit of things that are trivial
Alex "Europe is crossed by the equator" Smith
Don't skip ads on hatfilm videos
the question about insect lifespans was also incorrect. some queen ants can live over 30 years.
the real lord michael of merchtown i cant believe it
Fruit juice is often pasteurised as well, so it counts too...
Bring Sips to play!
The country of Heidi
Pretty sure it’s Sih-KAY-duh
apparently either one is acceptable, despite only ever hearing it with a long A emphasis
Not the curry house, Trott.
Russia is the largest country in the world.....
I've kissed the Blarney stone, my lips dissolved soon after.
Smith 'I thought aluminium conducts' Hes still not getting it guys.
It's the Baghdad Battery, not the Egyptian battery, there's no evidence it was ever used in ancient Egypt.
Si-KAY-DUH is Cicada, at least in America anyway, lmao
"is gmt latitude or longitude?" - Smith, 2019
How did they fuck up the inventions question so much, I swear they know the whole Betty White is older than sliced bread thing. Not one of them knew about Gutenberg
"is gmt longitude or latitude" holy fucking shit Smith
yessss trivia pursooooooot!!!
Was smith actually asking if time zones go horizontal or vertical?
Also is no one talking about Ross and Trott thinking there were penguins in the Arctic
yeah seems like something even preschoolers would know
Trott... Haiti =/= High Tea lol
Did Alex think their was timezones that ran horizontal around the earth?
that's gotta be a barry spesh
I'll be straight with ya'll. Mike really let me down. He dropped the ball. He really made a fool of us all. Tragic.
I think Ross offered me some of that chilli pepper at i60 when I met them, either I accept and end up in a video, or i refuse and am allowed to enjoy the rest of the convention without a burning mouth. I took the biting option :/
Ahhh the good old Taj mahal in Europe..
"buy the new hat films hoodie" he said as if I havent already bought 2! It's the merch goblin all over again!
Russia is huge. The largest country in the world
It’s not true that no one started slicing bread before computers were made
Hey it's merch mike
someone finally let Mike out the back
Fight fight fight fight.
Jesus Christ the Antarctic is an entire fucking continent of ice!
LIES!! Mike is clearly superior at trivia games, I demand a (potentially physical boardgame) rematch! hahaha
Also, welp, Mike's got me sold, haha, gotta buy that hoodie at some point this week!!
OMG ITS MERCH MIKE POGCHAMP
Smith said "Is GMT latitude or longitude", and no one gave him s**t for it, I'm disappointed :)
Russia is nearly as big as Pluto, so yes, it is very big.
Nice
