Thanks, Kimarough.
Well...if you're not that certain...might as well go for the 50:50.

OK, kimarough said that might be C: Key, but he's still not sure about this, so you've decided to go 50:50 just to confirm his call, right? Good.  Computer, would you please eliminate two of the wrong answers, leaving woowho the correct answer and one other wrong answer?  Well, kimarough's instinct is wrong and you have two answers left: Is it Flood, or Fill? You have no lifelines left, you can always walkaway with $25,000 if you don't want to lose $20,000 for the wrong answer. |

Oh, the calamity. Kimarough could eliminate flood, so then that leaves fill as the right answer, doesn't it? So let's go with D, Fill--
--now wait a minute. WAIT JUST A GOSHDARN MINUTE. Why would "Flood" be used in an interview? If that's what I think it is, then I think floodlights are the ones used in football stadiums, no? You know, those big things that basically light up the whole stadium at night. If you used one of those things in interviews, you'd wash everybody out, and all you'd see is white.
So, with that, I'm going with A, Flood. Final.

woowho, YOU'RE RIGHT!!!!!! FOR $50.000!!!!! *Q7 win cue plays*  *background turns to dark* WOW... woowho, I can't believe that your sudden answer change actually paid off!!! OK, let me take a glass of water and give you a couple of things in this situation:  1. You're now just FIVE QUESTIONS AWAY FROM A MILLION DOLLARS!!! 2. You have no longer got any classic lifelines left (50:50, Phone-A-Friend and Ask The Audience are gone), but as you've reached the second milestone level, you get a bonus lifeline for getting 7 questions correct, and it's Double Dip. This will give you two shots at four possible answers, however when you choose to activate this lifeline, you are not allowed to walkaway or use another lifeline. 3. This next question gives you a free guess, because you have nothing to lose when you get the next one wrong. So, take a deep breath, take your glass of water... Are you ready? This is question #8, for $75,000:  |

*chugs the entire glass of water* Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. I needed that.
Now, let's see. 300 ft is the length of a football field minus the endzones. I don't think a hockey rink is quite that big, so I feel pretty good about ruling that out. I would say that a hockey rink is about the same size as a basketball court, simply because both the Lakers and the Kings play in the Staples Center. Although a basketball court is actually pretty small.
I feel like it would be toward the shorter end of things, so...tell you what, this would probably be a good time to use the Double Dip. I got nothing to lose, I'm out of lifelines anyway, and I think I have my two guesses in mind.
Confirm Double Dip, and then lock in A: 150 ft.

WAIT... I thought I was going to ask you for your first answer, but I see that you want to do it in one place, then let's do it... First of all, let's activate the Double Dip... *DD 1st chance cue plays*  You said A: 150 ft, so lock this in... *DD 1st final answer cue plays*  And... It's not 150 ft. *DD 1st incorrect - 2nd chance cue plays*  As I said earlier, you cannot walkaway once you chose the Double Dip. What's your second answer? |

 B: 200 ft is... the RIGHT ANSWER!!!  In 1st section, rule #1 of the National Hockey League rulebook, we read this excerpt: "The official size of the rink shall be two hundred feet (200') long and eighty-five feet (85') wide."  You're now 4 questions away from 1 million, you have no lifelines left, you lose $25,000 if you get the next question wrong, or win $125,000 if you're right. Here comes question 9, have a look at this:  |

I so badly want to take a stab at this one. Like, really, really badly. One of those times when I wish I still had a couple of lifelines...
I know we think about it having gone on forever and ever, what with all the years of reruns it's had. But given the average life of a TV show...I'm leading to believe one of the lower two options.
The risk, mathematically, is worth it, so I figure I have to take a shot at it...
So I flipped a four-sided coin, it came down heads, so B it is. B, six, final.

 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . YOU'VE JUST WON $125,000!!!
*Q9 win cue plays*
WOW... woowho is ON FIRE!!! And I have NO IDEA how did you do that!!!
Now, if you get the $250,000 question wrong, you lose $75,000 and you will drop back to $50,000. You are three questions away from a million and you have no lifelines remaining. Here's the $250,000 question:

Well, I have to say you've been such a great contestant here, and you're about to walk away with $125,000!!! *big quitter cue plays*  But, before we go and meet the next (and last) player, what is your guess at this question? |

Ehhhhh..... thank God you've walked away... The correct answer is D: Coffee Cups!!!  A zarf actually, is a holder, usually of ornamental metal, for a coffee cup without a handle. Once again, congratulations for winning $125,000 and thanks for playing Millionaire!! *walkaway cue plays* Now, let's welcome our second contestant who is about to play (once again) for one million dollars, and it's millionairefan64. *into the hotseat cue plays* Millionairefan64 is actually playing for the 2nd time in which in his first game, he got the $250,000 wrong and instead won $32,000. Now, he's back for the redemption and hopefully won't get bite by a shrimp  . OK, my friend, you propably know how it works by now... 12 questions, 3 lifelines, one extra lifeline after reaching the $50,000 milestone level... Are you ready to play? |

While i'm starting my game, I might as well take this opportunity to announce a big milestone. I have now been on the boards for exactly 2 years. This day (10/16) I was new to millionaire fans. This is perfect timing because I'm hoping to celebrate my 2 years with a lot of cash. Wish me luck, let's get this game going.

End
Oh i'm definitely ready to play!!!
