What is a ten million dollar question? Like, what would it ask? As far as I know (based on my own light research), the people behind Super Millionaire never released the $10 million question, which I think they should have following the conclusion of the series. I wonder why? I mean, I'm sure we'd all love to know if we have the knowledge necessary to win the biggest game show prize in the world.
Did they simply re-purpose them to be $1 million question? I mean, if you ask me, Chip Esten's $1 million question merits being worth $10 million in that it's so obscure and frankly, ridiculous (it's my pick for most difficult $1 million question in any version, that and Josina Reeve's, which I thought merited $5 million). Did they even write $10 million questions? Or did the producers think "Nah, surely no one will make it that far and be stupid enough to risk millions."?
I mean, they had a $2.5 million question (which I thought was appropriately difficult; a bit more obscure than a $1 million question).
That also begs the question of what makes a $5 million question? What is a $5 million question? Did they write one of those too? What makes a $5 million question different from a $10 million one or a $2.5 million one? What is the criterion used to decide how many millions a question is worth?

It's been discussed here before. IIRC, Michael Davies has mentioned that questions 12-15 on Super Millionaire were all Q15 difficulty on Millionaire.
I would absolutely believe the unused $10m, $5m, and $2.5m questions were later repurposed. The Nostradamus question was probably a $10m question.
