==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
In this game, players answer three multiple choice or yes-or-no questions about the United Kingdom. Up to 50 points are awarded for answering correctly. Points are deducted as the player takes longer to answer. When time is up, the correct answer is shown and [[Omochao]] gives an explanation. He begins speaking while the timer is running, so the player can answer before he is done giving the entire statement. Trick statements where Omochao stops before saying the entire statement are indicated with an ellipsis. The one with the most points is the winner, even if it is a tie.
