And Doug said the same thing. I suppose the question is whether you trust Doug's and your own judgement enough to go for this one.
Take your time - it's your show right now.

(final answer cue)When asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, what explorer said "Because it's there"?
| A. Reinhold Messner | B. Edmund Hillary | | C. Peter Habeler | D. George Mallory |
You said you almost never go for the obvious this late in the game... But both you and Doug went for the obvious... ...and by doing that... ...you'll be staying at $64,000. (wrong answer cue, groans from the audience) When asked why he wanted to climb Mount Everest, what explorer said "Because it's there"?
| A. Reinhold Messner | B. Edmund Hillary | | C. Peter Habeler | D. George Mallory |
It was actually George Mallory. But you're still leaving here with lots of money for about a half hour's work! You've got $64,000, and all the best from us. A big hand, please, for our first contestant Jonathan Laster! TOTAL PRIZE MONEY
$64,000 (we play him off, applause as I walk back to center stage) Well, I think that's gotten us off to a great start - let's see if one of these fantastic five still in the Ring of Fire can keep the momentum going. Right, it's Fastest Finger First - four answers, one correct order, top time goes through to play for the big money. Here comes our next Fastest Finger First of the night... (question to follow shortly)

(fade up) MILLIONAIRE MOMENT: UNITED KINGDOM
(from 2:06:19 to 2:06:47)
(applause and laughter back in the studio here in the States) One of the better Phone-a-Friend outcomes from the version of the show that started it all. Meanwhile, here in the American studio, we just had someone leave with nothing, and I tell you what, it's hard not to feel bad when that happens, but the best way to get over it is to keep on keeping on, so that's what we're gonna do. Four contestants left, let's give another one of them a shot at the million, shall we? Here comes the next Fastest Finger First question... ( music) Put the following geometric shapes in order from the most sides to the fewest sides. (ba-ba-BA! - cue :32) | A. Hexagon | B. Decagon | | C. Octagon | D. Pentagon |
(24 hours for those of you left in the Ring of Fire) |
|

Post by Twentington on May 27, 2018 11:39:24 GMT -5
(BANG!) Alright, let's see how you all got on with that one... (cue the music)Starting with the most sides, we have... B. Decagon(bang!)...and that has 10 sides. It gets easier from there, next is... C. Octagon(bang!) ...with 8 sides. After that is... A. Hexagon(bang!) ...with six sides, and that leaves... D. Pentagon(bang!) ...with five sides. OK, that's the right order. Everybody got it right last time, did it happen again this time? (doo-doo-doo!)| Frank Sartori |
| | Bill McDee | ~13 hours | | Kevin Kolsen | ~2 hours | | Sergio Roman Rodriguez | ~1 hour 30 min |
No, but three out of four isn't bad, and our winner, by the looks of it, is Sergio Roman Rodriguez! (win cue, cheers and applause as Sergio joins me at center stage) Let's get you some money, Sergio! (More music, more cheers and applause as we walk to the Hot Seat, which is once again back in its place at center stage) (the lights go down) Sergio Roman Rodriguez comes to us from the other side of the Atlantic, he's from Spain, and he's a student. Now, being a student, I'm sure getting any amount of money tonight would be nice, but what's the minimum you're hoping to walk away with? What are you hoping to do with the money, for that matter? |

Post by romnserg on May 27, 2018 11:50:19 GMT -5
Well, I don't have anything to set as a minimum. And because I'm a student, try to do the hardest to get through to the Alicante University, which actually is in San Vicent del Raspeig. And whatever I win is to both studing, free time, family and other things.
