Did you know..., sometimes abbreviated to DYK, is a relatively recent addition to The Countdown Wiki, wherein between three and five facts about Countdown are presented on the Main Page every month. Facts selected for DYK will be in some way notable, unexpected or surprising; for instance, they might offer insight into presenters, guests or contestants with unusual backgrounds for a quiz show, or they might describe noteworthy instances in the games themselves. Ideally, articles linked to from within DYK will contextualise the fact with additional information, though they do not necessarily have to reach featured article standards.
