We put 43 of our Fact or Fakes into the wild for listeners to take part in. 21 of these they got correct, 22 were wrong. On the whole wins were finely balanced whereas losses were hugely in favour of the loss. Also important stuff was more likely to be got wrong – Paris Agreement, Plastics, Emissions etc Whereas Car Sales, Animals, Dates were those that were more successful.
