So I'm sure there are a lot of questions we see on Millionaire that probably make you say out loud:
"WHY IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION?!?!"
Or even worse, when you see one of the easiest questions in the world, and the contestant DOES NOT KNOW IT. Case in point:
I'm also a big bowling person too, so when I saw this question, I facepalmed so hard:
Also, I remember like back in 2004 I think I saw a question about Sonic the Hedgehog, and THANKFULLY the woman knew it. Does anyone happen to know what episode that was from?

As I mentioned in my total winnings post for "Whiz Kids" week, Chris Isozaki's $100,000 question regarding Morse code was probably the most ridiculous question I've ever seen on Millionaire, and there have been plenty of obscure questions that the writers have thrown at contestants to prevent them from going all the way to the million. Another one that comes to mind was another $100,000 question from a couple of years back, which was something like "When the Supreme Court makes decisions, they sit on a bench made of what wood?" It's hard to believe that these aren't million dollar questions. As I said before, Millionaire makes it painfully obvious that they don't want to give away too much money.

Yep, because everyone knows what type of wood is used in a courtroom. That's crazy.

The Morse Code question wasn't bad. If you only know one thing about Morse Code, you know how to say "SOS" (...---...) So knowing that "S" is "..." narrows your choices down to two, then from there it's a 50/50 gamble, and a little logic would get you to the right answer. (Deducing that Y is a less common letter in the alphabet, so it would use more symbols). |

If the time limit was in effect then I would be a lot more sympathetic, but honestly, this woman clearly just guessed and didn't actually think if you ask me.

"When the Supreme Court makes decisions, they sit on a bench made of what wood?" It's hard to believe that these aren't million dollar questions. Well it's not hard to imagine why. The final question is usually painfully obvious. Googol. 93 million. 100 billion. Those were all questions that I knew immediately. |

I'm so glad you showed up. I was getting bored.
It's pretty clear where you're going but I'm going to throw this out there now, while there's still time for you to turn it around.
If you're trying to boost your post count so you can audition, just stop trying so hard. You are forcing posts. If you were to continue, it would seem very obvious you're doing whatever you can to get access ASAP. If that's not the case, then please take what I have said to heart and consider where and when you post when you post.
If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.
Thanks!

The funniest part is how that isn't even a question about The Office. It's a baseball question. As a big baseball guy, I knew the answer right away before the choices even popped up. The fact that he called his wife because she's a huge fan of The Office is even dumber. Like, come on, just reduce the question and you get, without all that extra clutter, "Who is the 2006 NL MVP?". That's all it's asking. "When the Supreme Court makes decisions, they sit on a bench made of what wood?" It's hard to believe that these aren't million dollar questions. Well it's not hard to imagine why. The final question is usually painfully obvious. Googol. 93 million. 100 billion. Those were all questions that I knew immediately. You should see the Tourney of Ten questions. It's just like... "ummm, how the hell am I supposed to know that?". Even if you are uber-meticulous in studying every last detail, you wouldn't remember anything about them. I guess they had to make up for the ridiculous stuff like Googol (NANOmole (implies tiny in "nano"), gigabit (everyone knows that bits and bytes are computer memory), and come on, how is Megatron an option, everyone knows that's a decepticon LOL). |

All the first question losses you can find on YouTube involve some sort of misreading of the question. To make it on the show and lost on a misread is disheartening. However some questions that I've seen higher up the ladder (Pikachu, Which is not a Pokemon?, Googol, etc.) are WAY too high up on the ladder. Meanwhile some million dollar questions are crazy as well. Josina Reaves' question comes to mind.

Here's another gem:
Like... seriously? This is a syndicated $100k question? I mean, I knew it before the snswers even popped up, but even if you didn't know it, how hard can it be to deduce? Seriously, what do you commonly associate with Mario? I dunno, JUMPING maybe?
I have to give this contestant credit though. She got it.
