The hardest thing about game shows - bar the bright lights and the nerves of making a fool of yourself on national television - is trying to answer a question you simply haven't got the foggiest about.
Well, it's clear that one clueless Pointless contestant miraculously lucked out over a bizarre coincidence when she completely guessed an answer and ended up getting it bang-on after some key advice from her partner.
The woman extraordinarily won the show after her boyfriend told her 'just say Henrik Larsson' to any football question. Yes, really.
When contestants Tasha and Jo got the news they would be appearing on an episode of Pointless, Tasha's boyfriend offered her a key pearl of wisdom: when in doubt, answer Henrik Larsson.

And it was clearly a very much welcomed recommendation as the show was 'looking for any goal-scorer from Euro 2000'.
Dutifully following her boyfriend's nugget of wisdom, the pair went on to win a jackpot of £2,250 with the answer 'Henrik Larsson' being both right and pointless.
"That is right," host Alexander Armstrong congratulated, "Henrik Larsson is a correct answer."
Recalling the incredible moment, Richard Osman then asked the women if there was a 'story' behind why they chose that answer in the first place.
Laughing between themselves, Jo said: "We're gonna have to take Alex up for a drink I think."

Tasha then explained: "Basically, my boyfriend Alex is a massive Celtics supporter and he knows I'm rubbish with names and things like that.
"So he said anything football related - he's played for Man U, he's played for Celtic and Barcelona, I think - and he just said, 'Go for Henrik Larsson'."
She added: "And it's paid off!"
It sure did.

So, next time you're asked a slightly difficult question - why not pull a Tasha and Jo and just answer 'Henrik Larsson'?
