    How many millionaires has "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" made in your country?

    So,

    How many times has someone won the million on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in your country?

    The UK version has made three millionaires so far (two last year, the third millionaire will win it on Tuesday's airing)

    We are all so dumb in Australia that we cheer if someone gets past the $100 question or the '4 cases of beer" question as it is actually called.

    In the German version there have been two or three persons who won the million.

    But I think the questions have to become easier here, because you guys in GB get 334% of that we can gain !!!

    - I hate this show. But what about Italy??

    When they got 1.000.000 ITL this are about 300 UK Pound... LOL
    Code that I author is neither elegant nor efficient. It is, however, functional. Once I get something that works, I'm generally satisfied with myself - I mean, if it works, that's good enough, right?

    US version of Millionare has had loads of jackpot winners...there is a reason for this...

    The questions are a piece of piss (e.g. "What is a fortnight" for $1000 or something rediculous like that) BUT it is because the US audience are fickle, and if someone doesn't win the jackpot regularly, people will stop watching it - NOT because they are overly stupid.

    Jeopardy is a thousand times harder and you get maybe $10,000 if you win both times.

    I dunno but,

    the Rand is such a crappie currency it doesn't matter.

    Right now it's about 13GBP, 9USD or so, so 1M Rand is worth the case of beer Mr B Bum mentioned earlier.

    But I must say, we've just started a new series this week and it looks like fun. Our presenter one Jeremy Maggs is really good. The contestants?... well it's too early to tell
