When you look at all the other contestants, Charles Ingram looks even more guilty. I think it's nanmole....I don't think I've ever heard of googol *cough cough* I actually think it's a googol The wife also looked extremely concerned and was visibly pissed off at him for making it so obvious.
Yes it was a reasonably hard first question, but the contestant said himself he wasnt sure, took ages to think about it, but still locked in 'glib' with 3 lifelines....now theres a hit and a half for your behind.
What they DON'T tell you is that the taxes are so high in the UK that you are left with only 32,000 pounds sterling even if you get the million-pound question right. Even if you win, you still lose.
In Rồng vàng, the Vietnamese version of Millionaire. There are so many on the first five questions wrong. We have the money as 2003 follows: 250, 550, 900, 1300. The host of the star film: Ván bài lật ngửa, Chánh Tín think that the wrong answer will minus. The score that contestant have. The president of Rồng vàng is souvenir, and the contestant next time will have calm, more questions.
The major's question was fairly 'easy' in that he could have eliminated some of the options using logic... Megatron is obviously the character (surely he's at least heard of that?) a nanomole sounds like something small (given a nanosecond is tiny) and a gigabit is 1000mbps used in internet speeds... so while that's a lot of bits, it's not a figure with 100 zeroes after it. That's what got him because he never gave any reasons for going for/eliminating options - he just said them out loud lol. Plonker.
Not sure where all the people posting the "I wouldn't have got the bishop question" are from, but to the people making fun of them, if they are not from Britain then there is no reason they would know such a thing. The US has no state churches and there is no "Primacy of Washington" or similar, and a lot of people in the commonwealth nations don't care about the Church of England. Feel free to take a jab at British posters who don't know though.
1. If you don't know where places are, don't go on a quiz. 2. 'Nuff said. 3. When you go on a quiz, you learn that all of Uranus' moons are characters from Shakespeare or Alexander Pope. 4. Don't go for the joke answers. 5. Meh. 6. Common quiz knowledge. 7. Basic trivia question. 8. The only Italian name up there. 9. Meh. 10. Easy. 11. 'Nuff said. 12. Idiotic rule-breaking. 13. Eliminate the stupid answers.
28:24 I definitely certain on the correct answer to this question as Alessandro Volta is Italian nobleman, Ohm named after German physicist even used 50/50 lifeline
9:30 Even if he was almost certain he knew what the answer was, he did right to walk away. Just not worth risking 468.000 pounds even if you're 95% sure what the answer is.
That 'taciturn' question definitely concerns a level of vocabulary that you would not expect to come up as a warm-up question. That one was definitely overly difficult relative to the prize money involved at that point.
Good thing about that "take the 500 grand and run" rule in the UK show, cause I only got three of 14 (I didn't watch Ingram) right and had no effing clue about any of the others.
I do find it funny the 1st contestant to see the £1,000,000 question is an old guy in a blue shirt and the last contestant is also an old guy in a blue shirt. Kinda fitting how one won and the other walked. (In the Chris Tarrant era).
