Hank tests your knowledge of an event that has yet to even occur: the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

Hello and welcome to another edition of Truth or Fail. We love getting feedback from our viewers and constantly scanning the comments for your ways that we can make this game show even more awesome. One of the most common criticisms is that the subjects are too America-centric, we’re too American here and I don’t have any choice, I’m an American dude. But we heard this criticism the last show which was about Mexican holidays, I don’t understand. But an unscientific survey of the comments also reveals that many who harbour this complaint are British. And because the last thing we want to do is alienate our British viewers, today's episode is all about the upcoming London Olympics. That’s right, a Truth or Fail about an event that hasn’t even frickin’ happened yet.

Round number one: The host with the most.

When the torch is lit on July 27th to open the Olympic Games, London will officially become the second city to host the summer Olympics three times joining Athens which hosted the first games in 1896 and then hosted again in 1920 and 2004.

Fact number two: London was one of nine cities to submit an IOC bid for the 2012 games. Among the cities it beat out were New York City, Leipzig, Germany, and none other than Havana, Cuba.
