A contestant on this weekend's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire walked away from a tough £125k question but would you have known the answer?Matthew made his way up the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire ladder to £64,000 but he had no lifelines left to help him
Matthew made his way up the Who Wants To Be A Millionaireladder to £64,000 and having no lifelines left – decided to set his safety at £125k.
But as Jeremy reminded him – he had to get there first!
He posed the question: “Which of these words coined by famous children's authors appeared first in print?”
The former Top Gear host then offered up “Snozzcumber, Heffalump, Chortled and Quaffle,” as options but it was clear that Matthew wasn't feeling too confident.
Matthew responded: “Literature isn't my strong point and children's literature is even lower.
“And I have nothing I can even go off.
“If I answered this, it'll be a one in four chance and I don't think the audience's hearts can take that.
“So with no regrets, I'm gonna walk.”
Jeremy then asked him if that was his final answer and he explained that he was hoping that Jabberwocky would appear but it didn't.
Before he added: “So I'm gonna take the money, final answer.”
Jeremy replied: “So that means Matthew Trantor you are leaving here with £64k – great play.”
He then asked Matthew what he would have chosen and he replied: “Snozzcumber because that feels a bit Jabberwocky like.”
Jeremy revealed the correct answer was in fact Chortled and if he had chosen Snozzcumber he would have only walked away with £1k.
Yesterday, Flying Eze also revealed how Matthew had needed help on an answer for a tough geography question.
Hardest Quiz Show Questions
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire – Earlier this year, fans were left outraged after what they described as the “worst” question in the show's history. Host Jeremy Clarkson asked: “From the 2000 awards ceremony onwards, the Best Actress Oscar has never been won by a woman whose surname begins with which one of these letters?”; The multiple choice answers were between G, K, M and W. In the end, and with the £32,000 safe, player Glen had to make a guess and went for G. It turned out to be correct as Nicole Kidman, Frances McDormand and Kate Winslet are among the stars who have won the Best Actress gong since 2000.
The 1% Club – Viewers of Lee Mack's popular ITV show were left dumbfounded by a question that also left the players perplexed. The query went as follows: “Edna's birthday is on the 6th of April and Jen's birthday falls on the 15th of October, therefore Amir's birthday must be the ‘X' of January.” It turns out the conundrum links the numbers with its position in the sentence, so 6th is the sixth word and 15th is the fifteenth word. Therefore, Amir’s birthday is January 24th, corresponding to the 24th word in the sentence.
The Chase – The ITV daytime favourite left fans scratching their heads when it threw up one of the most bizarre questions to ever grace the programme. One of the questions asked the player: “Someone with a nightshade intolerance should avoid eating what?” The options were – sweetcorn, potatoes, carrots – with Steve selecting sweetcorn but the correct answer was potatoes.
Whilst he seemed confident and managed to answer his first few questions with ease, a question about the historic regions of France threw him off course.
Jeremy asked Matthew the following question: “Dijon is the capital of which historic French region.”
He was then given the options of “Normandy, Brittany, Limousin and Burgundy,” but it was clear that Matthew was struggling.
Pulling a number of faces to show his confusion, he then said: “I don't know the answer to this.”
Mathew then went on to blow three lifelines on the difficult question.
Firstly, with Jeremy who admitted he couldn't really help him then with a phone a friend who told him he wasn't sure of the answer.
Before Matthew finally asked the audience and then took a punt on the correct answer of Brittany.
Matthew decided to walk away from the question as he didn't know the answer but said he would have chosen Snozzcumber if he had played onJeremy revealed the correct answer was Chortled and congratulated Matthew on a good game
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire airs on ITV and is available to stream on ITVX.
