Ah, who gets to take part in the million dollar blunder? Four answers were thrown out there, but who got it correct? Ryanz, please show us who our big winners are...

[ljouvin]

Doh! Too late!

I would have answered C.

[RyanZ]

Sorry! I was a little late to get on today.

Anyway, here's the distribution of answers (if anybody cares ) up to ReidB, the last person who answered in time:



And here's the correct answer:



It was B: Germany! Yes, in the Winter Olympics since 1998, the United States, Canada, and Norway all have a grand total of 34 gold medals, while Germany has had 45.

Now, that means that both plane52 and millionaire94 got the question right, and both of them earn a million dollars!

Joy! Now, after a good bit of consideration, I propose a new rule: up to the last week of the month, question values may not exceed $100,000. During the last week, question values may not exceed $500,000 until the very last day. This is to give a fair chance for everybody to win the monthly contest.

Today's question is valued at $10,000, and here it is:

If a vote in the U.S. Senate ends in a tie, who makes the deciding vote?

A. The President
B. The Vice-President
C. The Chief Justice
D. Secretary of State

[millionaire94]

Well, I heard not so long ago that the Vice-President was also the President of the Senate, and that he had the deciding vote, so Vice-President, final!

[ljouvin]

D.

[FrankT]

Well.. I think it's B.

[Reidb1700]

I'll go with millionaire94's thinking, and go with B, final answer!

[RyanZ]

I'll say B as well. I swear I remember seeing this somewhere...

[millionaire1999]

Finally! something much more easier! It's Vice President, B! Final Answer

And, time is up! The question was, "If a vote in the U.S. Senate ends in a tie, who makes the deciding vote?"

millionaire94 was correct in remembering that the President of the Senate was the Vice-President. So, the correct answer is B! That gives us a total of 5 winners! Here is the updated scoreboard...

1. millionaire94 ($1,171,000)
2. plane852 ($1,025,000)
3. adasiekkk ($327,500)
4. ryanz ($260,000)
5. FrankT ($45,000)
6. Reidb1700 ($30,000)
7. millionaire1999 ($25,000)
8. ljouvin ($20,000)
9. leiseimei ($15,000)
10. millionairegamer ($0)

millionaire94, the next question is yours!

[millionaire94]

Alright, thanks! Here's the question for $150,000!

[RyanZ]

I'll say A.

[Deleted]

I'll go for D, but I'm probably wrong.

[FrankT]

It's definitely D.
