1488: Torture Telephone

Man on the Street, Stupidity and the "Inca-Pinque" Trick

A "man on the street" segment featuring a woman insisting that someone born 10 years ago would be 11 years old sparked a discussion on public ignorance. One host recounted a traumatic childhood experience in the Dutch school system where a teacher used a rhythmic reading trick ("Inca-Pinque") to humiliate him. The hosts debated whether these segments highlight genuine stupidity or are merely the result of manipulative trick questions.
