We love a good quiz and there are lots of options on television for nerds like us.

'Tipping Point' is this SportsJOE's personal favourite, while Bradley Walsh and his cohorts on The Chase is another tea-time staple. Walsh is a brilliant host, and the questions are just at an acceptable level of tricky, but not impossible a-la Mastermind. However, the show found itself in a spot of bother this evening, after sports fans disagreed with the answer to what appeared to be a fairly simple question about odds and winnings on a 5/2 bet. https://twitter.com/NicolaMcGeady/status/730075403218522112 Now the math is correct on this, but it is the inclusion of the confusing "as well as getting your stake back" that has some sports fans, and keen gamblers, questioning the right answer and suggesting that £35 is actually the correct way to answer the question. https://twitter.com/jamieowens88/status/730075463985598465 https://twitter.com/riccourtney/status/730075549721350144 https://twitter.com/ali2412/status/730077222527193089 https://twitter.com/JasJudge/status/730090714198114304 https://twitter.com/irishdavro/status/730085475353022464 So, what do you think?
