I find it super weird that all that harassment was the actual reaction of the population. I would have totally expected him being viewed as some sort of Robin Hood type folk hero. I mean, pretty much a "victimless crime" like it was mentioned, *especially* for people to flip out about it like that,; like wtaf🤷‍♂🤷‍♂ But not even judging what was right or wrong here, in terms of what was done and the reactions to it, I would have just thought I'd been around humans long enough to have figured out how they would generally react in a given situation, and even though I believe I mostly can, this is completely surprising to me. Sure the media plays a part here, but still. 🤷‍♂ Like, the "model" I would use to understand people's minds works in most cases, but is actually quite off to the side? Lol I notice that sometimes, does anyone else share that feeling? People are weird.

Possible the most legendary episode was when a guy named John Carpenter competed. At the start, people booed him when he said he worked for the IRS. He got to the 1 million dollar question without using any lifelines, and on the final question he used Phone A Friend... to call his dad and tell him he was gonna win because he already knew the answer.

I find it interesting that the host said afterwards that he didn't notice anything odd about Ingram's behavior. It's of course understandable. The host is there to present the show, keep the audience entertained and overall be as charismatic and likeable as possible, and make the show as engaging and interesting as possible. He's not there to observe and scrutinize every single detail of the contestant's behavior, he's there to run the show to the best of his abilities. He has priorities and things in his mind enormously more important than whether a particular contestant behaves a bit different than your typical contestants. But nevertheless, I still find it interesting that apparently he didn't notice anything suspicious.

That's because trivia questions get re-used and the show was shot in 2001. Gigabit internet speeds only started to be used in 1999, and Google wasn't a household name yet as it was founded in 99 as well. I only eliminated nanomol because I learned in chemistry that a mol is something to the power 23, but someone who hadn't taken a college level chemistry course back then wouldn't have known that. Context is key, and most people back then wouldn't be 100% sure in their answer which you need to be in order to risk a million dollars on it.

@@TheTTL1997, it’s still a super easy question. - Giga is one followed by nine zeroes. That’s grade school knowledge. - Nano is inverse of giga, so obviously it’s not it either. Again, that’s grade school knowledge. - Megatron is a Transformer. [PS. Not to mention that mega prefix means one milion; again, grade school knowledge.]

We probably all know this fact BECAUSE of this show lol

@NodaxWoW 28 дней назад

maybe in the US this is college level chemistry. i learned that in like 8th grade. bit and byte are also known for several decades. no need for internet speed as reference. how about hard drives? and megatron is kinde obvious too. even if you dont know transformers. mega, nano, giga are all already number prefixes one could and should have known back then @@TheTTL1997

What do you mean the Consortium never did anything illegal ? They literally had people answer in the place of others (step 3) and had Google open as a joker (step 5). Creative and hilarious yes, but isn't that at least fraud ?

Ive never had anyone offer me channel ad's. And going by the way the ad rev is collapsing it's needed now. I remember this case, and it affected the show where i live even to today where a cough in the audience is pointed out on big money questions.

@trod5902 28 дней назад

giant? that is the most insignificant error, how on earth can you call that a GIANT error? exaggeration much, just enjoy the content. Im sure you were jumping out of your seat to tell him he was wrong about one tiny error. so giant that it RUINED the video right?

@Mark-lj1dj 16 дней назад

10:17 this is such critical evidence. He barely pretends to sound surprised. Imagine being innocent and being told you're not getting your million pounds and being referred to police. You'd be so shocked and angry. They're so guilty

@Fanaro 28 дней назад

14:21 The guy looks awfully suspicious indeed, but it's worth pointing out that coughs are not at all uniformly distributed, meaning if the person gets anxious (as she would when the time for answering would come), the likelihood of coughing goes way higher.

@HouseOfFunQM 28 дней назад

The funny thing is, back in 2001, we basically didn't have the internet as it is now. I am sure that these guys had NO IDEA that 23 years later, the internet would continue to produce videos ripping them to bits.

@newshodgepodge6329 28 дней назад

I could see successfully using process of elimination for some of the questions. This has helped me before when choosing the correct answer on multiple choice tests; if you are familiar with most of the options and can reasonably rule them out as the correct answer, the option that you are left with will likely be the correct answer even if it is unfamiliar to you. But to use process of elimination for every correct answer is a bit further afield. Edit: fixed a few typos that improved the flow.

You can't guess your way to a million. The man's analysis was nonexistant, no logic, just never heard of this, I'll guess it anyway for half of the questions. No elimination of the other answers either.
