FunTranscript
00:00Imagine you're a pyramid builder in ancient Egypt.
00:03After hours under the scorching sun, lugging massive stone blocks all day,
00:08you get a moment to cool off.
00:11When you head home, what's your go-to way to unwind?
00:14Maybe you take your partner to the riverbank and build mini-pyramids out of sand.
00:18Because, let's face it, you love your job.
00:21Or perhaps you go for a little adventure, catching crocodiles by the tail.
00:25Or do you simply head home and gather your friends for a good old game night?
00:32Which option do you think is the most historically accurate?
00:43If you were born in ancient Egypt, you'd go home and play a game of Senate, a national favorite.
00:49Senate was a popular board game, played by nobles and commoners.
00:53It involved 30 squares and was associated with the journey to the afterlife.
00:58I mean, these guys were deep, huh?
01:02For your birthday, your inventive BFF gave you a time machine they were working on.
01:07But the machine could only travel back to the year 1558.
01:12When you reach the past, you discover you were a maid of honor to Queen Elizabeth I.
01:17If you had to pick her favorite color to wear, which color would that be?
01:21Maybe you'd suggest red, the classic power color for a monarch.
01:26Or perhaps gold for a look that's all about wealth and grandeur.
01:31But then again, maybe she goes for white, symbolizing purity and innocence.
01:35You need to know your history here, since the correct answer is white.
01:47Elizabeth was well known for building an image of herself connected to innocence and purity.
01:52You're a student at a prestigious London detective school when you're surprised with a pop quiz.
01:59The question?
02:00It's all about a famous robbery from 1963 when a gang pulled off one of the biggest heists by robbing a royal mail train.
02:08They show you a photo and ask, who among the suspects was secretly working with the robbers?
02:14Maybe it was the dispatcher selling the tickets, since he'd probably have inside info on the train schedule.
02:21Or perhaps it was that woman with the odd-looking briefcase.
02:25Then again, it could be the man dressed in a uniform pretending to be a police officer.
02:29What's your best guess?
02:39There's no way to know this for sure, but it was probably the dispatcher that was in on the whole thing.
02:44I mean, with access to train details, he could have played a key role in setting up the heist.
02:50You've made it to the final round of Who Wants to Be a Billionaire?
02:54And you're one question away from winning it all.
02:56Apparently, the Tower of Pisa wasn't always crooked.
03:01It actually started to lean way back in the 12th century.
03:05You need to guess what made it start tilting.
03:08Could it have been an earthquake that shook things up?
03:10Or maybe the ground beneath was too soft, causing it to gradually lean over time.
03:16Then again, maybe the engineers just picked out bad material to build the whole thing, and it started showing with time.
03:26If you guessed soft ground under the foundation, then you nailed it!
03:34Although the Tower was built by top engineers and architects of the time, it was set on marshy, unstable soil.
03:41And, well, the rest is history.
03:43You're the absurdly famous Italian painter, Leonardo da Vinci.
03:49You're getting paid big bucks to paint people's portraits.
03:52For your next painting, you're looking for the perfect subject.
03:56Who will you choose for the job?
03:58Yourself, of course, since it's the face you're most familiar with.
04:01Or maybe you go with a wealthy merchant's wife, since everyone you know only talks about her beauty.
04:07Or maybe you should go with someone completely unknown, and never confirm their identity.
04:21It wasn't da Vinci's face, if that's what you were thinking.
04:25Most historians believe that Leonardo da Vinci's subject for painting the Mona Lisa was a woman called Lisa Giardini.
04:33Lisa was the wife of a wealthy Florentine merchant.
04:35She had an enigmatic smile that has captivated viewers for centuries.
04:42You're the captain of an ocean liner called the Vasa.
04:45And after years of planning, it's finally time for the maiden voyage.
04:49You leave port, ready to take on the high seas.
04:52But, uh-oh, take a look around.
04:55What's bound to sink your grand ship in just under 10 minutes?
04:58Could it be that the ship's weight is not well distributed?
05:01Or maybe it's the unexpected storm rolling in.
05:05Because nothing says perfect day at sea like waves the size of your ship.
05:10Or is it that you're about to crash into another ship?
05:13If you guessed the weight distribution, you got it.
05:25In 1628, the real Vasa sank due to being top-heavy, crammed with too many cannons and an unstable base.
05:33When a light breeze hit, the ship tilted, water rushed in, and splash.
05:38It's your first day at work as a firefighter.
05:43You find yourself in a real pickle when a massive fire breaks out at a bakery on Pudding Lane.
05:49The flames are spreading fast and the whole city is at risk.
05:53So what's your master plan to stop this fiery disaster?
05:57Do you demolish the bakery to cut the fire off at the source?
06:00Or do you transport water from the nearest pond to douse those flames?
06:05Maybe you decide to order the demolition of nearby buildings to create fire breaks.
06:10If you pick the last option, congratulations, you're right.
06:22It might sound wild, but that's exactly what they did back in the day.
06:26They ordered the demolition of nearby buildings to slow the fire down,
06:30giving the firefighting team a fighting chance to control the blaze.
06:35Imagine you were born in the Victorian era,
06:37and you're living the good life as a doting grandmother.
06:41After a family dinner, you're on the lookout for some entertainment,
06:44but there's no TV to binge watch and no malls to stroll through.
06:48So what's your grand plan for a fun-filled evening?
06:51Do you pull out your watercolor paints and unleash your inner artist?
06:55Or maybe you decide to dress up as a mythological creature
06:59and put on a show for the family?
07:01Or perhaps you opt for a more conventional evening
07:04and take a family photo in your fanciest clothes,
07:07channeling your inner Victorian diva.
07:10If you guessed dressing up as a mythological creature, you're spot on.
07:21I know it sounds a bit strange, but back in Victorian times,
07:25families often entertained themselves by donning outrageous costumes
07:29and posing for one another.
07:30It may seem bizarre now, but for the Victorians,
07:34it was the height of home entertainment.
07:37Today is the big day.
07:39You were hired to work at the Titanic's kitchen for the ship's maiden voyage.
07:43You were proving to be a huge pastry chef when, uh-oh,
07:47you sure weren't expecting that iceberg.
07:50You're a man, so you need to figure out how to get out of there alive.
07:53Do you dress up as a woman to try to get on a lifeboat?
07:56Or maybe you jump into the water and find an overturned lifeboat that saves your life.
08:02Maybe you find some debris floating around when you were in the water,
08:05so you use it to float until rescue comes.
08:08What did you do?
08:18Here's the true story.
08:20Charles Joffin, the ship's chief baker, survived by clinging to an overturned lifeboat.
08:25He was in the water for hours, but somehow survived the whole thing.
08:30You are invited to an important ball in 1780.
08:34Since you're looking for a wealthy suitor, you put on your best dress.
08:37When you arrive at the ball, three different gentlemen spark your interest.
08:42They are equally well-dressed.
08:44The only difference is that they're wearing different colored wigs.
08:47Which one of them is the wealthiest suitor?
08:50It's definitely the man wearing the red wig with long waves.
08:54Or maybe it's the guy in the middle who's sporting shiny, dark, wavy hair.
08:58Ah, you bet it's the one with the very curly white wig, isn't it?
09:02Which one do you pick, madame?
09:07For this question, you need to know that in the 18th century, the wig you wore showed your social and economic status.
09:19White wigs were a symbol of wealth and high social status.
09:22So people used powder to make their wigs look as white as possible.
09:26So there we go!
09:31That's it for today.
