A CONTESTANT on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire will be left struggling to answer a question during a pivotal point in his game during this weekend’s show.
Bus driver Jack Soley manages to get himself into the chair opposite Jeremy Clarkson for the next episode of the ITV quizzing favourite.
Whilst there are high hopes that it could be a top-performing game for Jack – one question almost throws him off course entirely, but would you have been able to get it?
On the show, Jeremy asks the TV hopeful: “Which of these sportspeople is not a professional tennis player?”
The four options to choose from were Stefanos Tsitsipas, Naomi Osaka, Kevin Magnussen and Coco Gauff.
The question leaves Jack utterly puzzled.
Speaking his way through the answers, Jack says: “I’ve heard of Kevin Magnussen – I’m farily sure he is a chess player?”
Jack strained his face to highlight his uncertainty surrounding the question as he continued: “I just don’t know about the other three.
“I know there is a Magnussen chess player… but, I don’t know what his first name is!”
Jack sighs as he can be seen mulling over the answer before he says to Jezza: “It is one of those questions where you are certain enough to think it is not one of the other three.”
Sporting fans may have already figured out that Kevin Magnussen is not a tennis player.
However, he is also not a chess player either with the sporting star being a Danish racing driver.
So it appears that no matter what Jack has got his answers in a muddle.
With the correct answer being Kevin Magnussen, will Jack manage to sail through to the next round with the wrong logic?
Or will it all come crashing down at the pivotal moment?
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.
