Who wants to be a millionaire - 900 questions and answers (v. 2.2) Sega Dreamcast (UK version) Written by Magnus Andersson, between December 2001 - March 2002 rubens.barrichello@swipnet.se http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/8867 ------------------------------------------------------ This FAQ is specially dedicated for my friend Lisa in Stockholm, Sweden. You are a funny life-line in real life as well... ;) Contents ----------- 1. About this strategy 2. "Error" Questions 3. Lifeline Strategies 4. Questions and answers --------------------------- 1. About this FAQ --------------------------- You may spread and copy this FAQ in any way you like, and you may also upload it anywhere on Internet without my permission. But you are not allowed to make any changes to the FAQ, and you may not sell it for own profit. This FAQ covers exactly 900 questions for the UK Dreamcast version of 'Who wants to be a millionaire'. I don't know if there are other versions of this game available for the Dreamcast, that are designed for other specific countries. But this FAQ is, in any case, the UK version. It could also be possible that the questions are the same for the Playstation and PC version of the game. I don't know, since I haven't played those versions. In case you wonder what's new since the previous version of this FAQ, these are the changes: * 98 questions and answers were added. * Some info about the game was added. * The layout was improved. * One error question was added. * One error question was removed. (Tom Walker, thanks a million!) The easiset way to use this FAQ, is to open it in Wordpad, then use the search option, and type a short phrase of the question you want to have answered. For example, if you get this question: Which Formula One Grand Prix takes place at the Interlagos cicuit? Then I sugggest that you make a search on the word 'Interlagos', since that word is something special for this question. As you understand, if you make a search on the word 'which', you will get too many hits, since a lot of questions begin like that. This game contains, according the instructions, more than 1000 questions, so that means that this FAQ isn't complete. But on the other hand, I'm very sure this also includes the 'Fastest Finger' mode, so the standard one player mode shouldn't have more than 1000 questions (I also made a statistic calculation, and if my calculation is correct, there are about 1000 questions (it could be that *exactly*)). In any case, I dare to say that with these answers, your own knowledge for remaining questions, and with three life-lines, your chances are *very good* to complete the game itself. This FAQ does not cover the questions of the 'Fastest Finger' mode. Since the game is almost completely covered, it is pretty difficult for me to find questions that I never have seen before. I will probably make another update later in spring 2002, which will be the final update. But please don't get mad at me if the next final update will be delayed. I am a university student, so as you understand, I am a busy person. This FAQ is just something I have written for fun on my spare-time. :) And finally, my apologies about grammar and spelling mistakes. English is not my native language (As you could guess from the text above, I am from Sweden). Feedback, positive or negative, would be very appreciated... :) ----------------------- 2. "Error" Questions ----------------------- So far, I have noticed five "error" questions in the game. The first error is in this question: Which was the last state to join the USA, before Alaska and Hawaii joined in 1959? According to the game, the answer is 'Arizona', so you need to select that answer in order to procede to the next question. That is also the real answer, but this question is not even close to the word fair. New Mexico is another alternative, and *BOTH* states joined the USA in 1912. The difference is only that New Mexico joined on January 6th, while Arizona joined on February 14th (The other alternatives are Pennsylvania, which I believe joined on December 12, 1787, and Delaware sometime in 1793). This may be a $250.000-500.000 question, but even so...! Is the 1 million question about what Chris Tarrant had for dinner yesterday? The second error is in this question: What was the name of George II's wife? According to the game, the answer is 'Charlotte', so you need to select that answer in order to procede to the next question. But the 'real' answer is in fact 'Caroline'. George II got married to Caroline of Ansbach, so I don't understand why the game says that the answer is 'Charlotte'. The third error is in this question: Which is the third longest river in the world? According to the game, the answer is 'YangTze-Kiang', so you need to select that answer in order to procede to the next question. But if you add the source flood to Mississippi, the answer would be 'Mississippi'. This question is not very clear. The fourth error is in this question: Which cartoon character is associated with the word 'Cowabunga'? According to the game, the answer is 'Bart Simpson', so you need to select that answer in order to procede to the next question. But the real answer is in fact 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles', but this alternative does not exist. Bart Simpson adopted this phrase, and uses it from time to time, so that's the best answer of the alternatives, though the answer 'Turtles' would had been a much better alternative. The fifth error is in this question: Copper and zinc are the main components of which alloy? According to the game, the answer is 'Brass', so you need to select that answer in order to procede to the next question. The main components of brass are indeed copper and zinc, but still this question is not very clear. 'Bronze' is another alternative, which also contains copper and zinc (It contains 95% copper, 4% tin and 1% zinc), but according to the game, that's not the right answer. -------------------------- 3. Lifeline Strategies -------------------------- You have three line lifelines per game, 'Phone-A-friend', 'Ask the Audience' and '50:50'. You probably know already how these lifelines are working, so I guess I don't have to explain them in this FAQ (If you need to have them explained, listen to the instructions in the game). First, if you plan to use the 'Phone-A-friend' lifeline, keep in mind that you get the same answer for each question everytime. If you would use your '50-50' lifeline before using the 'Phone-A-Friend' lifeline, the odds will not increase that your friend will give you the right answer. There is, so to say, only one message for each question. Your friends are giving you the right answer in about 75% of all cases. My favourite life-line is undoubtedly "Lisa". I can't remember that she ever gave me a wrong answer, and some of her replies are very funny. :) Second, if you plan to use the 'Ask the Audience' lifeline, it is the same thing about this lifeline, the results will be the same everytime. Do NOT use the lifeline '50:50' after that you used the 'Ask the Audience' lifeline. The two alternatives that are most unlikely, according to the audience, will vanish everytime (the programmers certainly aren't making it easy for the players). So using the '50:50' lifeline after using 'Ask the Audience' is just a waste. On the other hand, if you use '50:50' before using 'Ask the Audience', the results may be different. Third, if you plan to use '50:50', the two most unlikely answers will vanish everytime. If the answer alternatives are four names, and two of them are sounding different, and two sound pretty equal, then the computer takes away the two alternatives that are sounding more different. The computer works like that everytime (at least everytime I tried it), so using the '50:50' lifeline on such questions is a vaste as well. Try the other lifelines instead on such questions. ------------------------------- 4.
