WWTBAM RPG 129

[Peachfanclub]

Hmm. My South American geography isn't the best, but I have two ideas on what it could be, since I'm fairly sure Brazil shares a border with two of these countries, not so sure on the other two. I'll take a 50/50 on this one.

[omran.dk]

Alright let's use the 50/50...

Computer (millionaireloveruk ), please remove two wrong answers. There will therefore remain a good answer, and always a wrong answer.

[omran.dk]

Can the management please remove the two wrong answers that are entered on the computer (millionaireloveruk )?

*Removes A and C*

B. Argentina

D. Bolivia

[omran.dk]

There remains only answer B and answer D, well was one of the two countries in your choice? Or it was both, and there it starts to get a little tricky.

[Peachfanclub]

No, I feel alright about these remaining choices. I wasn't really considering Bolivia, as I don't think its border with Brazil is as defined as that of Argentina. I know that's a much larger country, so the probability that the Iguaçu Falls are on the Argentinian border is that much larger, I would suppose.

Let's lock in B on this one, please. Final answer.

[omran.dk]

Good, let's validate answer B

*Q7 final answer confirmation cue*

Note that the 4 countries obviously have a border with Brazil. But it's not Colombia or Venezuela, because it was deleted by the computer. As for Bolovia, it has a border with Brazil...via the Amazon. In this case, Argentina is obviously a good answer.

*audience applause*

*Q7 right answer sound* *before Q1 lights down cue*

Alright, let's revisit our dear payout tree:

You therefore have only 1 joker left, for 7 questions to answer. I think it will be fine by looking at this new question, for 2.000 F the question is:

[Peachfanclub]

I'm not a soccer nut at all. I only sort of got into the sport around 2017, when Minnesota United FC joined Major League Soccer. I wouldn't know anything about soccer overseas, but I don't think it could be Ronaldo or Messi, simply because I don't think they could have been in pro soccer for that long. They would have to have been a superstar already around that time, but I just don't see that from those two. The other two, I'm just not familiar with. I'm gonna have to Phone a Friend here.

[omran.dk]

You don't know Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho, two great players who won the World Cup, even if they are not of the same nationality.

But hey, you're asking a friend for help, so let's contact your friend the2thomasklu8 .

*Phone-A-Friend Call cue plays*

the2thomasklu8: Hello?
omran.dk: Good evening Thomas, this is Demetre Omran, from Who wants to be a Millionaire?. How are you ?
the2thomasklu8: I'm fine and you?
omran.dk: I'm fine too. Thomas, I'm with peachfanclub here because he needs you for a particular question, so particular on the one hand because it's worth 2,000 F and two it's a question on which perhaps you are a specialist.
the2thomasklu8: maybe, I hope to help my friend the best.
omran.dk: very good Thomas, you have 48 hours to help your friend answer this question, are you ready?
the2thomasklu8: i'm ready

omran.dk: fine, I'll give it to you, counting from the gong, top!

*Phone-A-Friend Clock starts*

[the2thomasklu8]

peachfanclub: Reads question and answers
the2thomasklu8: Not much on football, but I have the game.
Quickly grabs game from the shelf
the2thomasklu8: Haven't looked at this in a while, but that's John Terry and Thierry Henry on the box, so I'm pretty sure it's Thierry Henry.
peachfanclub: OK, thanks
Time runs out

[omran.dk]

Well time has passed. Then your friend declares that he would have the game and would see John Terry AND...Thierry Henry on the cover.

So I remind you that you no longer have jokers from now on.

You are at 1.000 F, if you decide to risk and luckily it is the right answer, you double your gain.

If the answer you give is wrong, you fall back to 300 F.

You can also leave with this gain, it's not nothing 1.000 F you know. It's up to you to decide dear Peachfanclub .

[Peachfanclub]

He seemed pretty sure about it, so I feel comfortable going with it. D: Thierry Henry, final answer.

[omran.dk]

Good...

*Q8 final answer confirmation cue*

Tell me, is your friend British? Because if I'm mistaken, the game "Pro Evolution Soccer 5" was never released in the United States, it was only released in Europe on August 4, 2005. It was not until February 7, 2006, that the game which will be called "World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 International" comes out. And in the jacket of the American version of the game, there is indeed John Terry.

Anyway...you just gave me:

*Q8 right answer cue*

it is the right answer

*audience applause*

*before Q1 lights down 1998*

Not really if your friend is British, you really have a star that saves you. But this star that you had will have cost the last joker and from now on it is only you who will have to answer the questions. But hey, we had no choice but to unlock this question, which was worth 2.000 F and you won. Here is the ninth question out of 15, for a value of 4.000 F:

*Q9 background music 1998*

[omran.dk]

Peachfanclub, I remind you that you have no more joker. It's you in front of the computer, you have 2.000 F. You can earn 2.000 F more if the answer is correct. But you can also lose 1.700 F if the answer is incorrect.

But you have the choice to stop there and leave with the price of 2.000 F. You have the compass in hand.
