So hey everyone,
I was thinking about some of my most memorable questions and I'm interested as to what your most memorable are. For me, it has to be Judith Keppel's Million Pound Question due to the significance of the question itself or Charles Ingram's Million Pound question again due to the significance of it and just how easy it was by process of elimination. So, bear in mind that I only watch the UK version of Millionaire so I will probably not know most of them, but what is your most memorable question?

I'd say it's Bob-O's Super Millionaire question worth $2.5 Million. It was, and still is, the largest valued question ever seen in the history of the show itself.

Could Sam Murray's Million Dollar Tournament of Ten question be quite memorable because he was the only winner of the clock format and a specialist show? I believe so! Also I found his question the easiest because it is simple due to a process-of-elimination.  |

If anything, this question would be the most memorable for the fact that I guarantee you no one would know the answer:
I'm honestly stunned that this wasn't a million dollar question. Matter of fact, this should've been the $10,000,000 question on Super Millionaire (But then again, we'll never know what was the actual 10M question itself!)

Woowwwww... Who would know that??? Unless they worked for them, maybe... We are they that desperate for noone to win anymore than $100,000? Either that or the person who writes the questions was too optimistic.

I was actually there when the episode was taped and had the same reaction as the 'expert' when the question was read. I talked to him before he went on and he was really nice. For me, Alan Carvers game. I was there for the second day. You can actually see me in Mecha's video as the text fades in 00:10 above 'most' wearing the red shirt and my dad is sitting next to me with the blue-gray shirt. You can hear me :22 with the "WHHHHOOOOO", and when he won the $25,000. Anyways, I didn't know how well he did because the first part was taped the day before we went. I was surprised when he answered the question so quickly.

Exactly. Some of these statistic questions are really hard to grasp, and they are there on purpose to trick you out and for you to stumble. That close from the Million to build suspense and the you find that you are not going to win the top prize at all. Also well what can you say about Alan Carver, he banked so much time during his run he clearly is a interesting and inspirational person for Meredith, and at some moments in the game lacked emotion until the $25,000 question which he felt would be more difficult.

In his effort in the hot seat, I'm really pissed off about his Ask the Expert screwing him over. Then again, that so called "Expert" screwed A LOT of people over for that matter.

As great as Alan played up until the $100,000 question, he only has himself to be blamed for losing there.
Even if she did turn out to be a lousy expert throughout the week, you can't blame the expert for misleading you if you ask her a question that's not in her field. As an actress and an internet talk show host, Ali Wentworth is going to be better used on a pop culture question, or MAYBE a current events question (since her husband is George Stephanopoulos). She is wasted on literature.
With those three lifelines available, his best chance was to Phone a Friend, assuming he has a literature buff on his list. If he doesn't, roll the dice with Double Dip.

Kplewisvox is totally and utterly right, for a very smart contestant he seemed to make a stupid mistake. Wentworth has been known for her bad guesses and he surely must know that a quote is not her specialist subject. I believe that he could have been a lot more cautious, condifering he had 2 other lifelines remaining (Double dip or Phone a friend). If he had been a bit wiser he could have chose more that one or he could have phoned a trustworthy person. I believe he messed it up to keep his reputation of a "Quick answerer".

In regards to memorable, these top the list in terms of the top 2 questions that should have been SO MUCH LOWER IN VALUE: Just watching these videos make me wish I was in the hot seat for these!!!! And on top of that, I made a similar question for $100 during an Anime Convention I went to back in 2011:  |

In regards to memorable, these top the list in terms of the top 2 questions that should have been SO MUCH LOWER IN VALUE: Those questions were actually just fine where they were. You need to remember that the $500,000 question was asked in 1999. Pokemon was still in its infancy in America at that time, and it was very much a kid thing, not an adult thing. And don't think that Frodo was an easy pick either; the first movie didn't come out until 2001, so you had to know Frodo from the book. Like any other fad, Pokemon fell out of popularity before too long, and by 2009, Pikachu was not common knowledge anymore. Maybe it could have been better at $8,000 or $4,000, but no lower. A contestant might know that there's a yellow Pokemon, but will he remember its name is Pikachu? |
