How to train your general knowledge
The quiz champion shares his straightforward approach to knowing more about the world

When was the Defenestration of Prague? How many bits make a byte? What is the capital of Bolivia? Whether it's a job application, an aptitude test, a job interview, or just holding your own at a party - solid general knowledge pays off everywhere. Sebastian Klussmann, the popular "Chaser" from the hit ARD quiz show "Gefragt - gejagt", explains how to grow your knowledge base without much effort. For instance, by finding out on a city walk who a street was named after. Or by learning geography through football. Or by linking topics to emotions - like asking your grandmother to show you her favourite flowers in the garden.

What makes readily available knowledge so appealing - and do we even need it in the age of Google? More and more people don't care about raw facts; the whole world is in their pocket, always searchable. Klussmann still believes it matters. "You shouldn't outsource your brain to the cloud," he says. "Our democracy only works if we have informed citizens who can make sense of things beyond their own professional field." With facts in your head, you draw better conclusions and ask sharper questions. "The more we know, the more nuanced our view of the world becomes."

How do you build lasting knowledge? That is one of the central questions Sebastian Klussmann tackles in his show.
