Yeah, it's such a classic. Such a simple question, but not only was that participant unable to respond, but more than half of the people in the audience also somehow thought it was the sun! How humiliating for the French!
怎么连这点常识都没有不过我最近看了好多更傻的人的视频跟他们比法国人可是小巫见大巫

How can someone be lacking even this bit of common sense? But lately I've seen a lot of videos of even stupider people. Compared to them, the French are pupils in the presence of a master.
