WWTBAM RPG 67

Either Gustav Klutsis, or Egon Schiele. I don't know if the computer eliminated that one answer you thought it wasn't.

You're all out of lifelines, but you do not have to play this question. You can take the $16,000 if you're not sure. If you decide to play, and give me a wrong answer, you'll give back to me $15,000. But I will give you $32,000 and that new lifeline if you give the right answer. What do you want to do?

You took a chance on Egon Schiele...

Sometimes that's all you gotta do, is take a chance...

...because it was a good chance to take! You've just won $32,000! *the audience whoops again and the $32,000 win cue plays*

*the $64,000 let's play cue plays*

Well... I can tell you that Klutsis was a Constructivist photographer. All these art periods are really abstract to me, but. *the audience laughs* Like all those prehistoric periods. What's the point in grouping them together? Anyway, you've now got $32,000...

You've now earned Switch the Question, which you can use anytime you see a question you don't like. If that sounds fair to you, then let's keep playing. Question #11 of 15 is worth $64,000... you can Switch it if you don't like it, but you might as well play for it in the end, you've got nothing to lose. Have a good look at it...

In 1955, what household product was featured in the first ever television advertisement broadcast in the UK?

A: Toothpaste
B: Corned beef
C: Record player
D: Cooking utensils

*the Switch the Question sting plays*

I can tell you, if you locked in a record player... you'd be walking away with $32,000. The right answer is actually toothpaste. Interesting to know, isn't? Right then, this question is out of play, so now we'll switch out of this question, computer please, for another question valued at $64,000.

*the $64,000 bed resumes*

Once again, here is question #11...

Former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt died in what year?

A: 1909
B: 1919
C: 1914
D: 1924

You had $32,000... 

You've just won $64,000. *the audience cheers and the $64,000 win cue plays*

That's extraordinary!

*the $125,000 let's play cue plays*

I imagine that was an educated guess, no? It really helps to know that Teddy was a Presidential candidate for the Bull Moose party, as famously learned from a £1m question. Interesting stuff, right?

Now... you've got that $64,000. You can obviously take that $64,000 and run if you like, but I'll give you another question, and I'll give you $125,000 if you answer correctly. Keep in mind that it'll cost you half your money if you're wrong. Here's question #12 of a possible 15...

*the $125,000 bed cue plays*

In what year did Conservative MP for South Down, Enoch Powell, give his famous "Rivers of Blood" speech?

A: 1964
B: 1966
C: 1968
D: 1970

I have to say, I don't blame you at all. Give metemeister a big hand, he goes away with $64,000! *the audience cheers and the $125,000 bed cue stops*

I suppose you're curious to know the answer now, because it'll nag some of us forever... the answer that would've netted you $125,000... was the year 1968. *the contestant nods* Now... *I sign a particular piece of paper* This is what you've won. Take it. *the contestant takes the check* You go away with this check for $64,000. Well done, Mete.

*the audience applauds, the say goodbye to contestant cue plays, and the contestant exits stage left, while I remain in the Cold Seat*

I think Mete put on a truly impressive performance. I couldn't answer half those questions. Anyway, our other contestant who's been waiting patiently for his chance to win $1 million will now join me in the "Millionaire Circle" and take his place in the Hot Seat. Come on down, Dragonman 2455!

*the contestant leaves his FFF seat and sits in the Hot Seat*

This is Dragonman 2455, another familiar Millionaire enthusiast. Like Mete, you also won $250,000 on your last time through. Impressive, to say the least. But, do you think you can do it again? Or better yet, do you think you can go all the way this time around?

*the audience laughs*

Fair enough, lets see how much money we can get you. Fifteen questions, three new lifelines. Let's get right into this and play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

*the $100 let's play cue plays*

As always, we start with question #1, for $100. Here it is.

A "decathlon" consists of how many track and field events?

A: 6
B: 8
C: 10
D: 1,300,007

*the audience laughs at choice D*

Right answer, you've got your first hundred. *the audience applauds and the $100-$500 win sting plays*

You know, I might get drained after just six events. *the audience laughs* Right, here is question #2, it's worth $200...

Granite is classified as what kind of rock?

A: Metamorphic
B: Igneous
C: Sedimentary
D: Jailhouse
