In Millionaire, we've seen many interesting questions that had been asked to the contestants, but something which occurs rarely is that the questions are easier in the higher amounts! Of course, this topic can be seen in different perspectives, so today, I'll be mentioning the questions that I personally consider easy for the higher amounts of the money tree.
First, let's take a look at some of the international versions where it happened a few times. For example, in the UK, the 3rd Millionaire Robert Brydges had been asked the following question:
Which scientific unit is named after an Italian nobleman?
A: Pascal
B: Ohm
C: Volt
D: Hertz
The right answer was Volt, since Alessandro Volta was the one who discovered the unit, which is now used for the voltage sources. I'd say that it wasn't really much of a challenging question to be worth £1 MILLION.
In the US version, Allen Harris, who won $250,000 on the show, received this question for $64,000:
From what country's controversial court case did the phrase "a dingo's got my baby" originate?
A: New Zealand
B: Australia
C: New Guinea
D: Indonesia
Since dingoes only live in Australia, the right answer had to be B at this point. The question was not really challenging as well, but it was actually quite a good one.
Anyway, it is very interesting to see that some of the questions used in Millionaire seem to be easier than they're supposed to. I wonder why it happened sometimes...
What do you think about the questions? Do they really seem to be easier than they should be, or are they hard enough?
