If you've never seen Pointlessbefore, it basically involves pairs of contestants competing for a cash prize by trying to name the most obscure answer they can in various different categories.

For the opening round, students Sarah and Mariam were tasked with naming countries that end in two consonants.

Sadly, things didn't get off to a great start.

In fairness to Sarah -- and as host Alexander Armstrong predicted -- hers wasn't the only answer that scored 100 points in that round.

And hey: it must be pretty damn hard to think clearly when you're being asked about a subject you don't know super well on national TV.
