Just watched it. Interesting idea but I'm not sure it works. Completely ignoring the fact that it's massively drawn out I think there are some flaws with the fundamental idea.
Obviously, no-one is going to win £1m. DOND do a similar thing in that they can offer a £250k first prize daily knowing that it's v v rarely going to actually be won.
But the problem with a start with the money and lose it with wrong answers format is that the questions are generally too hard as the programme maker needs to protect itself against everyone winning the jackpot. Things like who had the youngest number 1 single and the age difference being 3 years is daft as people aren't going to be 100% sure of this sort of thing meaning they need to spread there money. You can't do this over 8 questions though as you're quickly left with a tiny amount.
Also. All boxes should drop at the same time. That'd be much more fun than yet another effort by a quiz show ffs trying to be suspensful.
Even the easy questions like the "who tweeted about over the rainbow final" led to the competitors losing 1/2 their money and that was their first question...Jon Snow? lol, just lol. |

Best poster Girgy IMO - Mantis
Girgy is my new hero! - Evilpie
Think Girgy has shown the best leopard instincts in this thread and would prob survive best in the wild. Eye of the tiger that fella - Mantis
Girgy is a m'fkn machine - Daveshoelace

Interesting idea, the maths of it all.
Hedging in the first four questions seems ridic both in terms of maximizing EV and for maximizing your 'in the money' %. For the first four, bunging it all on a hunch/educated guess looks to be the way forward.
Not interesting enough to watch again though. Quiz shows that ask three questions between ad breaks = waste of a life.

its on channel 4 mate Oh right. So I don't need a licence for channel 4? Last I looked I had to pay £140 to watch any channel. Hence it's a tv licence not a BBC licence. I think my point is still valid. Unless someone wants to have a comment about my spelling? |
