We all know Professor Stephen Hawking is one of the leading minds of our time, but how would he fare in a duel with me? My chosen weapon- pistols? No. Swords? No. It's game show time.
Round One- Countdown
It's pretty obvious that Hawkers would shit on me at this. Not only can I never manage more than a 4 letter word when I play it at home, Hawkers probably has Google on his computer and could pretty much come up with a perfect score.
Hawking 1-0 Me
Round Two- Mastermind
It's not looking good for me here. I'd have to choose "rare symptoms of hangovers" as my specialist subject, whereas he could probably take "the life and achievements of Stephen Hawking" and get away with it. Unless I get asked 20 consecutive questions to which the answer is "pass", I'm done for.
Hawking 2-0 Me
Round Three-Big Break
Although this one seems a bit physical, if you remember correctly it's only the professionals who play the shots, while the contestants sit in their chairs and answer questions. It was looking like 3-0 until I realised that at the start of every episode the contestants have to choose a snooker ball from a bag to determine their partner. Hawking has a problem here-disqualified.
Hawking 2-1 Me
Round Four-Bullseye
Hawkers doesn't seem like much of a darts man to me, and I see no projectile-firing devices on his chair. So even though I can only hit the board about once an hour, I win by default.
Hawking 2-2 Me
Round Five- The Weakest Link
Despite being the smartest sod in the line-up, Hawking wouldn't fare to well here because he'd get voted off towards the end due to some tactics by the other surviving contestants. It was all going well for me here until I realised that I'd probably get thrown off first for forgetting how many days there are in a week, or what colour grass is.
Hawking 3-2 Me
Round Six- Stars in their Eyes
Steve probably can't knock out much of a tune, I have heard. Apparently he lacks pitch or something. I, on the other hand, can get through a Frank Sinatra without having anything thrown at me. I don't murder them, just assault them.
Hawking 3-3 Me
Well well, looks like good old Hawkers can conquer the world of theoretical physics, but can't put me away in a good old fashioned round of game show marathon.
