One of Fowler's best-known quirks is that she frequently strings opponents (and viewers) along by pretending to struggle with questions before giving the correct answer. She also has the unusual ability of being able to remember the dates of birth and death for a large number of famous people.

Contestants are often guilty of prejudging Daphne based on her ‘sweet old lady’ appearance, and regularly choose her as their opponent for the sports round, only for the show’s host to reveal that sport is actually Daphne's strongest subject.
