To be a millionaire just a game of luck is who wants, hmm?

I mean, 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happens to know the right answer there is, and only get you so far into the game, lifelines can.

Say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each, let us. Also say there are 3 lifelines let us: Call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.

For of the 15 questions each, only 1 correct answer there is, and 3 incorrect answers, so 1/3 = 33.34%, immediately your chances are. Use each lifeline once, you can. Using phone-a-friend, say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct, let us. So 95%, 1 question is. Similarly, say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance, we can. Finally, remove 2 wrong answers, 50-50 will, so 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, you have, so you basically know the answer. To recap:

Question 1: 33.34%.
Question 2: 33.34%.
Question 3: 33.34%.
Question 4: 95% <--- ask-the-audience.
Question 5: 33.34%.
Question 6: 33.34%.
Question 7: 33.34%.
Question 8: 33.34%.
Question 9: 95% <--- phone-a-friend.
Question 10: 33.34%.
Question 11: 33.34%.
Question 12: 33.34%.
Question 13: 33.34%.
Question 14: 33.34%.
Question 15: 100% <--- 50-50.
Total: 690.08%.
Divided by 15 questions = 46.00%.
So basically, more a less a game of chance, it is, but lose, more than half the people on the show will, so very fair it is not. Making tons of money off of people, that show is. Yeesssssss.
