Is Who wants to be a millionaire just a game of luck?

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

Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.

For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, 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, it's more a less a game of chance, but more than half the people on the show will lose, so it's not very fair. That show is making tons of money off of people.

I wish a mod would come in here and ban all of you faggots that constantly bump troll threads like this one, as if you think it's a big joke to respond to the same copypasta and tripfags every day. I wouldn't expect all of you little shits to reset your IP's everytime, so I imagine it would shape this place up rather quickly

Inb4 you spout some retarded 4chan comeback like "NO FUN ALLOWED!" or "GO BACK TO REDDIT!" because you have nothing else to say

>>4917675
I think the guy that continued smaking these threads every day is that stupid. He has to have something seriously wrong with him to do so.

In the style of copypasta, I doubt he would be changable enough to edit his image

I'd imagine that if we were sucessful, he would make rabit scrreching noises while groaning and banging his keyboard since he can't do his life's work.

he wouldn't have the mental capacity to change his image.
