[edit] Wrong 1/4 Million Dollar Answer

On tonights episide (Feb 09 07) a question was who had the most wives. Michael Jackson, Larry King, or King Henry the VIII. According to both of thier wikipedia entries and all sources I could find, both men had six wives. Of the 5 people left, 4 picked King Henry VIII. As near as I can tell, both answers were correct.

    • Yea that's what I've been wondering. What happens if the answer that the show gives is wrong? Does the lady get some kind of legal compensation?

When things like this happened on other games shows they just bring the people back for a other show.

      • According to Ken Jennings on his own web site, Larry King has been married seven times, though to six women, while Henry The Ocho was married six times. If I recall, the question related to number of marriages. DukeEGR93 04:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Assistance: What happens if...

What happens to the two forms of unused assistance if towards the end of the game there is only one player left?

  • 1) "The number of "mob" player(s) who chose that answer is revealed" seems useless, that person is either right or wrong.
  • 2) "One mob member who answered correctly and one who answered incorrectly" that is impossible to happen. --Sirex98 04:40, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Good points. Actually, those can happen with more than one person. In the first help' case - what happens if no one picked the answer the contestant wants more information about? In the second case, what happens if (a) everyone picked the right answer or (b) no one picked the right answer? DukeEGR93 18:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
    • On the Korean version of the program aired on 24 July 2007, the contestant was facing three mob members and asked for the "two answer" choice. It turns out that all three mob members all voted the same way. The host just said, "Sorry. Because they all voted the same way, you're out of luck," and the game continued. The contestant also had the choice of asking for the mob's popular answer, but was not allowed to use the choice since all three remaining mob members had chosen the same answer.Kkachi 02:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Kkachi

[edit] {{Dubious}} tag

The article asserts that the next contestant is taken from the pool of 100. In the show that aired today, this didn't seem to happen. Can we get a clarification please? --Roninbk t c e # 05:15, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] US Version

The US Version debutted on CNBC earlier in the week, not on NBC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 72.91.28.133 (talk • contribs).— 72.91.28.133 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Excuse me? Care to back up that assertion? I tend to think that the CNBC show definitely debuted after October 13 --RoninBKETC 03:24, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
Doesn't CNBC air the encore?  — JT (TRAiNER4)  [T·C·E] 22:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] $3 million top prize?

Someone changed the article to say that the top prize is now $3 million. I checked the official site and it still said the top prize is $1 million, with no mention of an increased top prize anywhere. I'm changing it back for now; could someone try to check this one way or the other? --Poochy 02:57, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

When the news came out that Kevin Federline was appearing as a Mob member on the show, it also mentioned that $3 million was up for grabs (Link to a story here). Interestingly, the top prize was said to be $3 million when the show was still in development. But nonetheless, your change back should be good until we find out one way or another in a week. --Scani 03:36, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, the $3 million top prize has been officially confirmed for the Dec. 1 episode, but I couldn't find any confirmation for subsequent episodes. --Poochy 01:20, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
It's looking like a one-off for a single game from what I've seen, so I've edited the article as such. --Scani 20:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contestant in blue dress on 1/12 or 1/19 episode (USA on NBC)?

  Does anyone know the name of this contestant?  She was very lovely, had black hair, and 
  wore a long blue dress.  I know I have seen her somewhere else, but I can't remember 
  where -- and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for the help!  Aasdnnn02:42,     23 January 2007 (UTC)aasdnnn


Her name is Shelly Regan. On the show she said that she was a Miss Fitness champion. Kkachi (2 May 2007 12:42 UTC)

[edit] Bringing down article length?

I'm of the opinion that this article is getting lengthy - and some of the content isn't really necessary for the main article when it's already mentioned on the subarticles (especially for the American and Australian versions). I've started with a "General Format" section that should hopefully tie together all the commonalities of each. Each section can then be used to summarize host, prizes, rule variants, and so forth. --Scani 17:30, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

  • I think perhaps the International Sections should be moved to it's own 'International' Page, and just leave a General Rules section up on the 1 vs. 100 entry Mwidjaja1 (talk) 02:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... the only problem with this would be that not all the countries have a 'International' page (regarding 1 vs. 100). Unless you're planning on creating them? AlmightyClam 16:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Explanation

Okay, just to explain why I renamed the "American format" section "US Format." Personally, I beleive that "US Format" sounds more formal, more accurate (with Canada and Latin America technically being part of "America" etc. etc.) and generally better suited to a Wikipedia article. Hopefully there are no problems with this. AlmightyClam 16:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
