Talk:Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (British game show)/Archive 1

Many years ago there was a question which was answered correctly. It later transpired that the correct answer was wrong. I cannot remember what the question was, but I think it was a logical one. If anybody can remember it, I would like to know. I think it ocurred in the first series. Tommy Trouble 20:15 02/02/2006

 * That's the one. Thanks for that, and especially the rapid reply. Tommy Trouble 13:30 08/02/2006

I think that the original answer is correct. The question asks "Theoretically, what is the minimum number of strokes with which a tennis player can win a set". The answer given was 24, i.e. 6 games of 4 strokes each. But others have argued that 3 of the games won could be as a result of double faults. But these are not strokes by the player winning a set. The question asks how many strokes does a player need. The question stated this way requires him to play a stroke, so I maintain that 12 is incorrect and that 24 is the correct answer.Howestrange (talk) 20:00, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


 * There was another occasion several years later, in which two of the answers given turned out to be correct. One of them, which the contestant went for, was classed as a wrong answer but this was disputed by viewers, and the contestant was allowed back. The question was for £64,000, and he was therefore invited back to tackle a £125,000 question.

Title makes no sense
Isn't Who Wants to Be a Millionaire originally a UK show anyway? Zocky | picture popups 23:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree - it seems like parts of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire article are duplicated in this one. Also the link on this page to the past winner Robert Brydges redirects to this page!! This seems a bit strange. AndPud 19:33, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Asim Saleem
Who is this guy?

Daniel Craig
How did he win if that day hasn't happened yet?


 * It's vandalism that someone added days ago and no one noticed (ditto 'Asim Saleem'). I've just removed it. BillyH 14:23, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
