I like Tucker but asking particular random questions is a technique popularized like Destiny. Its not hard to find random facts people dont know if you go digging, and even if they do know, if they take 2-3 seconds to think about it or fumble their words, it makes them look dumb. The technique works like this:


>What is [random question]?
>If they get it right, ask an even more detailed question or move onto another random question until you find one they dont know
>If they fumble their words at all, take too long to think of the answer, laugh and say they dont know anything about topic

Its designed to make the person you are talking to look stupid. Its dishonest.
