The questions in Günther Jauch's "Who wants to be a millionaire?" always seem easy to answer from the sofa at home.
But did you also know this answer?
Cologne – The quiz show “Who wants to be a millionaire?” has been flickering on RTL for 23 years.
Everyone knows the two chairs in the middle, the characteristic music and of course moderator Günther Jauch.
The principle has always been the same: answer questions and climb up the prize level by prize level.
13 people have managed to win the jackpot of one million euros so far.
Jauch met many interesting people in his countless programs.
In the new show, a candidate nibbles at the 32,000 euro question – but is it really that difficult?
"Who wants to be a millionaire?" question: the candidate is puzzled
In the Zocker Special program, candidate Anke Haase makes it onto the chair and bravely fights her way through a whole series of questions.
For the 16,000 euro question: “What becomes of a city in Saxony-Anhalt with a “w” at the end?
A: Oslo, B: Jericho, C: Sapporo, D: Acapulco” she gambles and guesses the right solution (B: Jerichow).
Then comes the 32,000 euro question: "What is offered in the hardware store with the note "nestable"?
"A: Car Tires, B: Storage Boxes, C: Grass Seeds, D: Screwdriver Bits".
Anke Haase has to think for a few seconds and then says: "Actually, I know my way around the hardware store very well".
She keeps guessing and decides on the audience joker.
So everyone in the studio can vote.
"Who wants to be a millionaire?": It only works with the second joker
But the audience isn't particularly helpful.
40 percent vote for C (grass seed), 32 percent for B (storage boxes) and 14 percent each for the other two options.
The candidate chooses the additional joker.
And indeed, three spectators stand up.
The chosen one then explains: "Plastic cans can be nested because they can be stacked on top of each other." And answer B is then the correct one.
Candidate Haase is not the only one whose knowledge of the hardware store can be expanded.
On Twitter, a user writes about the show: "4 years hardware store and I don't know".
Could you have answered the question?
In the end, candidate Anke Haase didn't fail because of the storage boxes, but because of electric cars in the 64,000 euro question.
