That $500K question... arguably the gutsiest decision in Millionaire history.
@teleman07 Жыл бұрын
I though that was an easy question to guess. I am not from USA neither english is my native language but I could guess it right too. Even the last million question was worded in a way that from all the 4 possible answers, the right answer was truly felt odd and most probable. Same goes for the band name question. They literally asked the hardest question in the beginning, the mayor question. And the life magazine question was hard too but it was from an era he was characteristically interested in. He also literally failed the chess question too... This guy was very lucky to get the questions he got and thus his win was not a surprise.

@@teleman07 Guiliani is a big name in America, so not too hard for an American to guess. The Life mag question def would be the hardest for anyone to guess. The 500k question could make you question yourself since Library of Congress and DoE sound probable since the phrase refers to knowledge setting you free and both of them are more academically related. CIA is a gut guess when the only tie it has is that the I stands for Intelligence

On the TV series question, he's obviously in doubts because probably he doesn't got time to see much TV. He believes that the audience would know that one, who is actually a poor partner when a tough or more intellectual questions show up. He's able to manage very accurate questions and also knows how society works. Such a smart and super wise player. Hats off to this magical wizard !

I’ve never played chess before in my life, and many others haven’t either. What might seem easy to some would not be to others. Chris Tarrant on the UK version always used to say “they’re only easy if you know the answers”. It’s almost always better to use a lifeline if you’re in doubt than taking a blind guess, it could help you win a million dollars down the line.

What does it mean that this version is "syndicated"?
@alexdostaler Жыл бұрын
Syndicated means it does not air on one specific network; in a local television market one station can buy the rights to air the program. Jeopardy! is arguably the most well-known syndicated game show of all-time, even if it has returned to ABC more recently. Kelly Clarkson's talk show is another example of syndicated programming. Shows like Seinfeld, Friends, Big Bang Theory, etc. were successful enough to go into syndication for their reruns
