Question of the Day?

[The Bandit King]

Yeesh, another tough one.  I know who A, C and D are, but I've never heard of Woody Harrison (did you mean Harrelson, or is there another one?).

Either way, I'll jump this question, too.  Too hard for my liking...

[JTH1]

Screw it, I'll say "A". Final.

[The Ancient Warrior]

Unfortunately, TBK, you're out of Jumps, so you'll need to deal with this question some other way.  You can still walk with half the bank, but if you want to ask the audience first, that's still an option.


Thank you for pointing out my typo in B, though.

[The Bandit King]

Ah, to hell with it...it's only a game. Since I pointed it out, I'll say B. Final.

[The Ancient Warrior]

To be honest, I had no clue myself when the question came up on the show.  But it turns out the answer was B: Woody Harrelson.  Unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye to JTH1, but the rest of you are still in the game, and those of you who answered just gained another $1000.

Standings after 9 questions:
The Headless King: $70,100 in bank; one Jump the Question remaining
The Silver Monkey: $69,100 in bank; Ask the Audience remaining
Purple Parrots Fan: $69,100 in bank; Ask the Audience remaining
The Bandit King: $67,100 in bank; Ask the Audience remaining
PurpleParrot319: $66,600 in bank; no lifelines remaining
JTH1: $1000 total winnings

For those of you still in the running, this is the final question of Round 1, and we know it's worth $5000.  I'd like to remind you that if you choose to walk away, you get half of your current bank.  But if you get this question right and enter Round 2; you will be looking at the $100,000 question; able to walk away with your entire bank and guaranteed a minimum score of $25,000.  Here's the last question separating you from that:

1896's Anglo-Zanzibar War is considered the shortest war in history at about what length of time?

A: Forty minutes
B: Two hours
C: Seven hours
D: Twenty-four hours

[The Silver Monkey]

I want to save my last lifeline for Round 2, so I'll take a stab at it and say A.

[The Bandit King]

Holy crap, I actually got it right? Wasn't expecting that...

But like the last question, I have no idea here as well.  I'm thinking about walking, but I might as well ask the audience...

[Purple Parrots Fan]

I'm gonna go for it and say A, final answer.

[The Headless King]

I think I remember hearing about this somewhere and I'm pretty sure it's A.

A, final answer.

[PurpleParrot319]

For some reason, I think I remember this. I think it's A: 40 minutes (technically, I believe it lasted 38 minutes). I'll make A my final answer.

[PurpleParrot319]

Looks like everyone has answered, assuming TBK already has as well. Once he gives you the answer TAW, can we find out if we were right?

[The Ancient Warrior]

Well, that takes out any possibility of me trying to psych you out.  Seriously, if it hadn't already been mentioned, I would've totally pulled a Meredith and said "It wasn't forty minutes... It was thirty-eight, but we rounded it up." Anyway, let's see where we're at.

Standings after 10 questions:
The Headless King: $75,100 in bank; one Jump the Question remaining
The Silver Monkey: $74,100 in bank; Ask the Audience remaining
Purple Parrots Fan: $74,100 in bank; Ask the Audience remaining
The Bandit King: $72,100 in bank; no lifelines remaining
PurpleParrot319: $71,600 in bank; no lifelines remaining
JTH1: $1000 total winnings

So, five of you are still in the game and have all finished Round 1.  I might as well start Round 2 a little early, so just give me a little time to decide which questions to ask, and I'll post at least the first of them tonight.  Depends on how long everybody needs on each of them.

[The Ancient Warrior]

All right, I think my mind's made up on which questions to ask. So, to the five of you who are still in the game... It's time to play Classic Millionaire.

*Cue imaginary lights XD*

There are just four questions separating any of you from the million.  If any of you choose to walk at any point in the round, you will get to keep your entire bank rather than half of it.  The questions do get progressively harder and you are guaranteed a minimum $25K just for making it this far.  So, let's take a look at Question #11, shall we?

$100,000:

Which of the following is not the name of an actual city in the United States?

A: Frostproof, Florida
B: Climax, Georgia
C: Hotel, California
D: Unalaska, Alaska

[The Silver Monkey]

Hotel California's the name of a song... C, Final.

[The Bandit King]

I've actually heard of D.

I'll also say C...final answer.
