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.

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 was a super easy last question btw. I suck at trivia and had it immediately.

@TheTTL1997 25 күн бұрын

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.

@mina86 25 күн бұрын

@@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.]

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

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.

8:13 just wanted to point out a mistake in the animation/simulation. The molten stuff is going right trough the car. My beliefe is (and yes, I use blender. So if you used anything else, it might not apply to what is actually happening here), that they simulated the pound sign melting, but forgot to add the car as an effector. This would have given it collision. Alternatively, they could‘ve placed an outflow item in the car to prevent it from leaking into the car.
