*Q6/11 Final Answer cue plays*  Oh, you didn't think it's either 40 or 03 without explanation, and you went 50:50 only to eliminate these answers... As a result... 41 turns into SIXTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS!!! *Q11 Win cue plays*  *Q7/12 Lights Down cue plays*  Now, you've got $64,000. But you have just one lifeline left. You get this right, you'll win $125,000. But if it's wrong then it's half your cash out of the window. Four away from a million, here's your $125,000 question: *Q12 Heartbeat bed plays*  |

The 1963 movie "Cleopatra" cost $44 million to make. How much would it cost today? Oh my God, my strongest subject is Math and this is about Economics.
Well, 1963 was when Kennedy assassinated and Lyndon Johnson came to the presidency, and there goes the Vietnam War, so I don't think it's $150 million because we're dealing with Egypt.
Come to think of it that I watched the old The Price is Right way back with Bill Cullen and some of them have 1963 cars worth $7,000-$10,000 at that time. In 2016, the cars are now from $16,000-$30,000.
It's not $200 million because it's way too expensive and Elizabeth Taylor was so rich, and I think the timing affects the cost of production, so I have to go and say C: $300 million, final.

*Q7/12 Final Answer cue plays*  Ehh... you had $64,000... You went for C: $300 million... I hate to say this, but it's actually between $310 million and $320 million... but we rounded it off to $300 million, so YOU'VE WON AN EIGHTH OF A MILLION!!!!*Q12 Win cue plays*  *Q8/13 Lights Down cue plays* In 1963 the film budget was about $40 million, so if we adjust that by inflation for this year, 2016, it's around $300 million bucks.  Right, you're now just three correct answers away from being a millionaire, my friend. You've got $125,000 and you would lose $93,000 for wrong answer to the next question. You can as always take the $125k, but... you can still Ask the Audience. Here it is, for a quarter of a million. *Q13 Heartbeat bed plays*  |

This was under Andrew Jackson. It's either '32 or '33.
You know, the Age of Enlightenment was passed but Whewell was born in that era and I know it's not 1830 or 1831 because Jackson was in his first years, and it seems logical to me that he coined that term in 1833, but I am 47% sure.
Just to be sure, I'll Poll the Audience, please. Thank you.

OK, then. *ATA begin cue plays* Audience, no pressure, but this is worth $250,000. Here's the question again: In which year did the English philosopher and science historian William Whewell coined the term "scientist"? It's either 1830, 1831, 1832 or 1833. All on your keypads, vote now. *ATA Voting bed plays*  *ATA End sting plays* Oh boy! Spread out all over the place. All I can say is, you're risking $93,000, you can walk away with $125,000. No lifelines. |

Goodness me. 29-26-23-22, that's very close.
All I can say is, that's very risky to lose $93,000. I have absolutely no choice, and if I lose $93,000, that would be sick, so I am afraid to do this but I'll gamble and say D: 1833, final.

RegisFan, I am NOT cheating. I did some process of elimination to make such assumptions. So, sir, I hope you respect my opinion, and I hope you understand my point.

Post ------------------ JCEurovision, no one is accusing you of anything. However, I'm hearing from a lot of concerned members behind the scenes, so I'm just throwing out a reminder that the RPG should be played as realistically as possible. If you'd honestly take such huge risks in real life based on your assumptions, you're a much more daring man than most! ------------------ End |

*Out of Commercial Break cue plays* Hello, welcome back to Millionaire! Before the break, we had jceurovision taking a $93,000 gamble on this question: At first, his initial thought was 1833, only being 47% sure, so he Asked the Audience. The results were so close, with only 29% saying it's C, 26% going with D, 23% for A and 22% for D. Much to our surprise, he decided to go against the very slight majority, and he went with his initial thought of 1833, risking $93,000. jceurovision... YOU'VE WON A QUARTER MILLION DOLLARS!!!
*Q13 Win cue plays*  *Q9/14 Lights Down cue plays* Until the late 19th or early 20th century, scientists were called "natural philosophers" or "men of science".  Right, you've won $250,000. Only 2 questions left from being a millionaire, but you have no lifelines remaining. The next question is worth... $500,000! You get this question wrong however, you will lose $218,000 and you'll go back down to just $32,000. Here it is, for half a million: *Q14 Heartbeat bed plays*  |

Well, 1979 is such a long time because there were two governments, Callaghan and Thatcher.
I never heard of Auberon because it's sounds too obsolete and planetary while the others are not quit, but Airey sounds Scottish to me because Neave is very Welsh and I think it's more of English rather than Arthur, which is too common for a politician. Aubrey, very cool but not common in '79.
You know, RegisFan said to me that if I honestly take such huge risks in real life based on my assumptions, I'm a much more daring man than most. Thanks for your compliment, I'm going to take a risk and go with A: Airey Neave, final.

*Q7/12 Final Answer cue plays*  Oh my god, you had $250,000... All the time I've warned you about consequences from giving me the wrong answer... You could've walked away with a quarter million, nope. You've decided to go for it. I can tell you that it's not Auberon, nor is it Aubrey Neave. The politician who was killed by a car bomb in 1979, was... AIREY NEAVE!!!!!*Q14 Win cue plays*  *Q10/15 Lights Down cue plays* That happened on March 30th, he was killed at the House of Commons while being a Conservative MP for Abingdon.  Now! Here's where we are now. You've got $500,000, and no lifelines. At any time you can take home half a million, but if you do get the ultimate question WRONG, then it's bye-bye $500k, hello $32k. For one million dollars, here it is, question 15. *Q15 Heartbeat bed plays*  |

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings". Sounds familiar.
Such a very love autobiography story, and it was even recited at Clinton's 1993 inauguration.
It was such a lovely piece of work, so I think it's Maya Angelou. Anne Rice, famous for horror and Erica Jong is like Jenny Han.
The only one I am familiar is Maya Angelou, so A: Maya Angelou, final.
