Mathematician Konrad Krug impressed "Who wants to be a millionaire" moderator Günther Jauch (66) with his knowledge.

In the end, the “Vollhorst” went home with 125,002.52 euros.

Cologne - mathematician Konrad Krug already graduated from high school in the ninth grade.

At "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" on Monday evening on RTL (8:15 p.m.), the number expert moderator Günther Jauch explained: "In the fifth or sixth grade I noticed something about the Pythagorean theorem that you can use it to calculate distances and I thought that was great."

Even if the mathematician only got a 4- in writing, he was able to get an 1 in the oral part of the Abitur.

The Berliner quizzed his way confidently through the RTL show, but then had to pass the 500,000 euro question.

Moderator Günther Jauch wanted to know where the northernmost point in southern Germany was.

Krug called his friend, who advised him to use Saarland as the answer.

Also available for selection for the 500,000 euro question: Bavaria, Saxony and Baden-Württemberg.

The telephone joker of the "Who wants to be a millionaire" candidate then typed like Konrad Krug on "Baden-Württemberg".

Luckily, the two friends were only 70 percent sure, and the visibly frustrated mathematician got out.

"Who should know?" He then complained to Günther Jauch.

The additional joker could have done a good job here, Günther Jauch reminded his failed candidate.

"What kind of idiot am I that I didn't do it like that," replied Krug, who wanted to save his additional joker for the last question.

But nothing came of it.

Why is Who Wants To Be A Millionaire So Successful?

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is so successful because it offers a simple and fun form of trivia where viewers can test their knowledge and see if the contestant gives the correct answer and wins a large sum of money.

It also has some excitement as contestants have to answer harder questions to win larger amounts of money.

It has also spread to many countries and created local versions, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Krug tapped the 2 cent coin and was right.

After the question, Jauch went through the four coins with his candidate, the total value of which was 2.50 euros.

In the end, the mathematician took home 125,002.52 euros.

Andrea Kiewel recently competed in "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" for a good cause.
