Tipping Point is one of the most popular quiz shows on telly, but sometimes contestants on the show have us shouting at the TV when they don’t know the answers to ‘easy’ questions
Quiz questions are only easy if you know them – so how many of these could you answer?
Tipping Point is one of the most popular quiz shows on telly, and it’s a great one to get involved with at home as you can easily shout your answers out alongside the contestants. But with Tipping Point: Best Ever Finals airing on ITV at 7.10 pm tonight (April 21), what about the people who got “easy” questions wrong?
We’ve all been there: watching an episode of Tipping Point and shouting out the answer to what we believe to be an easy question, only to hear the contestant either pass or get it wrong – leaving us rolling our eyes in frustration. How could they possibly get it wrong? Well, as the famous saying goes, it’s only easy if you know it. So if you think you have what it takes to go on Tipping Point, why not give these “ridiculously easy” questions a go?
The questions were shared on the British Problems forum on Reddit, where one user expressed their anger at contestants on the show who were unable to answer some questions they thought should have been no-brainers. Commenters on the thread also entered some of their picks for the easiest questions, and other social media users have done the same in similar discussions. We’ve collated some of them here for you to try and answer – how many can you get right?

These questions are getting more and more ridiculous.” While another fumed: “These questions are ridiculously easy for 3 counters #TippingPoint, come on ITV make it challenging!”

If these were too easy for you – which they should have been! – why not try your hand at something a bit trickier? For example, this quiz shared by the question editor for BBC Two’s Only Connect that’s fiendishly difficult, or this maths equation that is said to be so tricky that only those with the IQ of Albert Einstein can solve it, or even this Who Wants To Be A Millionaire jackpot question that saw one contestant miss out on £1 million.
