Looks like they got a bunch of friends together to wait for his call. Combining all of their knowledge and the use of Google, they give him the right answer. I think the guy was telling a group of friends the question and they would either know the answer or all would try to google it.
Nothing stupid about voting for C. If you honestly have no idea (as I bet most of the audience did), voting for an eliminated choice is far more helpful than taking a wild guess between the two remaining answers.
aww c'mon guys the Paddington Bear question is not that difficult, I've known since I was 6 that Paddington is supposed to be from Peru, he got his name because thats where the family who took him in found him (Paddington Station) with a tag attached to him saying "please look after this bear"
Paddington Bear was from Darkest Peru and was particularly fond of marmalade, found at the station wearing a tag reading "Please look after this bear." :)
I've known Haggai for more than 20 years -- he told me that they did NOT have an internet connection there in the room at his house in Ann Arbor where they were gathered. Neither Haggai nor any of the quiz bowl team members there knew the answer, but his housemate Nina did because of a play about Paddington Bear that Nina's sister had been in back in grade school which mentioned Peru several times. The clicking sound is from the landline phone cord as Haggai confirmed that Peru was the answer.
The guy on the phone said "We're a 100%" as if speaking to someone on google. It even sounds like he was telling the question to someone else in the room, and having the person repeat the answer back to him after looking it up on the computer. Cheater.
He repeats the question and possible answers and then u hear him blocking the phone and getting the question from someone else :D.
Pretty stupid to risk on cheating on the final question when you already have 500k :D.
And I don't think he knew the answer. He knew he would get it so he was acting like he knew it to play safer. So even if he gets caught from cheating he could say "I knew it anyways" and it would seem beliveable.
@kosmaverick Probably did it to abstain. I would've done the same, given that I didn't know the answer, and didn't want to mislead the contestant by contributing to an option that I did not know whether it was at all correct.
why is that cheating? If you got a call from the millionaire show, and it was about a children's book series, wouldn't you either use google or maybe your kid who probably love Paddington bear? What are the odds that the person you call is just in the middle of nowhere with no one around to ask.
I think Regis gave it away when he said "I think you knew it all along" if that's not giving away the answer than what is? And btw to all jealous guys, why is googling the answer cheating? Are there any rules in place on how the friend may or may not acquire the answer? He could look wherever the heck he wants.
The producers of the show should've taken back all the money from him for cheating. What a loser, either you're smart or you're not but they should't let you cheat. If they didn't take the money back then google should sue him for 10 million dollars for using their service to win the money.
@PeteTheMallard That's the main reason why Phone A Friend was removed in the shuffle format, though they could always bring it back as Ask A Friend, where contestants could contact a friend via Skype like Ask The Expert, that way you could be sure that friend wasn't using Google or anything like that.
so obvious the guy on the phone was googling it with other people seen as you could hear him put the phone down to type probably, and he repeated the question and answers for the other ones around him!
11 years ago today. Hope he liked that new car and Happy Anniversary, David. The youngest millionaire ever. He was 24 and I am 19 now. I won't lie: that is a record I would love to break with all due respect to him.
@blazer16656 Yeah thats why they took away the phone a friend lifeline in later series,and replaced it with "ask the brains" or something,which were a group of experts on verying topics
Actually, David Goodman himself left a comment on this video if you go back several pages and he said they had dialup and couldn't possibly go online so his friend apparently asked somebody else the question and they got it. Just saying what he said on this page.
I always thought the ask the audience lifeline was the most useless of the 3, and whoever voted C was a retard, which shows 1% of that audience was retarded.
sick of everyone saying it's stupid to vote C. C is a smart vote. If everyone that didn't know the answer voted for either A or C, then only those who knew the answer would be left, and you'd have the answer.
@edga69 Well, there was propably a shitload of extremely hard questions and this one just happened to be what it is. The last question does not have to be the hardest.
Does anybody notice that he can't keep a straight face when he's requesting any of his lifelines? And a David Honea moment when he sees a vote for a nonexistent choice C.
If he were smart, he would tell everyone in the audience to vote for C UNLESS they were 100% certain that they knew the right answer. that way if it was 90% C and 10% Peru he'd win for sure. If you truly have no idea, guessing randomly is going to hurt more than putting a "non-answer" like C. Makes plenty of sense.
