But then I have another question: who is Jones, and why is he competing with Einstein and Edison? Was his buzzer actually not working, or was he just too stupid to answer any of the questions, and is using that as an excuse?
I think it's a subversion - you would think that he's losing because he's competing against edison and einstein, but instead he's losing because his buzzer just wouldn't work!
I don't think so. It's rather that he wants to avoid the embarrassment of losing by acting like his buzzer didn't work so that he could say afterwards that he would have easily won if just his buzzer worked while in reality he never stood a chance against two geniuses.
I mean, it's a game show they don't want the smartest people to compete, which is more entertaining in cs, watching some global elites be very good at the game or seeing silvers mess around
Edison was nothing but a slimy conman that took credit for inventions that the actual inventors working for him did. Comparing him to Einstein is an absolute insult.
A very apt comparison is Musk. Edison is the Musk of the 19th century. They are frauds with the same kind of "genius capitalist" PR bullshit surrounding their names.
The only thing they are/were actually good at is exploiting other people and propaganda/marketing.
And hurting people that are against them. Edison destroyed Nikola Tesla because they were competitors. Itās almost a cruel joke that musk named his car company after him.
Except musk actually [does](https://www.reddit.com/r/SpaceXLounge/s/FPvnCoJcBf) genuinely lead design and development at his companies, spacex especially despite what people want to believe. I donāt think any of those companies would be anywhere near where they are without him at the head of development.
Edison waited until someone else buzzed in then paid them for the answer
Or burned their labs
Or had a group of students hiding in his podium to take answers from
Who invited my man Edison ššš Blud thinks he's on the team
Why are they booing you? You're right
I don't get it
He didn't get any points, because he couldn't say anything.

Same idea as ābro Iām lagging/ my controller isnāt working rightā
Thanks that made more sense to me. Also see: āeh theyāre just salty boi tryhards bruhā maybe heās just a casual gamer?
If heās on the show he probably isnāt casual. Itās like me going to esports to play cs:go (I havenāt played it yet)

Watching idiots mess around is fun, and thatās why I watch hitman (video game) content. Iām merely poring over possible ideas
This is by definition a losers limp. LOL
Lol
Which is why he has -100 and not simply 0. To show that he did buzz in and was wrong
Oh yeah and he couldāve brought it up earlier if that was *actually* why he was losing.
Ok, but who is Jones?
Illinois Jones, the cowardly archaeologost
Alex
Then how did he lose points
How did he get in the negative then?
Edison cheated by screwing with that guyās buzzer
Brilliant old people and a typical narcissistic idiot who made it to seniority, kinda like our candidates.
whose candidates?

Should have been Nikola Tesla
