Yes everybody, it's time for my first ever exciting version of the Millionaire quiz, with lots of easy questions about all the latest Millionaire news of today!
Here's how it works: For 15 questions I'm gonna say a word then use it in a sentence, then you give me the meaning. If you know them, post em all at once in this topic. I'll check yer answers and if you've got them all right, you win! Miss a question and you lose.
Also, you can use the lifelines at any point:
- 50:50: Gives you half of the correct answer
- Phone A Friend: Calls anyone I come up with and see what they think
- Ask The Audience: Poll a bunch of random numbers and see what they think the answer is
Okay, here we go!
