You can post here your money tree

of your very own!

[leimeisei]

on the right side of your post there is a button called "modify". Click that and you'll be able to add text to an existing post as opposed to triple-posting.

Thanks.

This money tree look good maybe a bit better the us verison.good work.

[kplewisvox]

I fail to see how $400,000 is better than $500,000, or indeed how numbers like $80, $225, $900 and $1750 are better than...well, anything.

Frankly, I don't see the reason of modifying the money tree off-handedly. Many versions of the show altered their money trees because of the value of their currencies or because they introduced a new currency (Euro). To some degree, it's also acceptable to change the money tree because of new rules.
There are, however, some countries that have weird money progressions. What comes to my mind immediately is Venezuela. Their money tree is:

200,000
60,000
30,000
15,000
8,000
5,000
3,000
1,800
1,100
700
500
300
200
150
80

I saw one episode with this money tree on youtube. It looks really odd when someone wins 1,100 bolívares...
I think I know what my favorite money tree is. It goes like this:
1,000,000
500,000
250,000
125,000
64,000
32,000
16,000
8,000
4,000
2,000
1,000
500
300
200
100

;D

Honestly, my favorite money tree is the 12-question UK one.

- $1 Million -
$500,000
$250,000
$150,000
$75,000
- $50,000 -
$20,000
$10,000
$5,000
$2,000
- $1,000 -
$500

It fixes some flaws in the initial money tree, mainly that now the risk-reward ratios are better, and the free guess after the second safe haven isn't for double your money.

What about my money tree with the 12-question format:

1 MILLION (top prize)
500,000
250,000
125,000
75,000
50,000 (milestone)
25,000
10,000
5,000
2,000
1,000(milestone)
500

Personally, I love the 12 question format money tree because it takes away 3 simple questions and you only have to answer 2. But the values placed in some spots are not something I'm thrilled of.

I would probably base the 12 question format like this

$1,000,000
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000
$50,000
$25,000 (Milestone)
$15,000
$10,000
$5,000
$2,500
$1,000 (Milestone)
$500

That's just my personal opinion

Thing is, this brings back a problem that the UK-12 ladder fixed. On question 7 here, you're risking $14,000 to win $10,000. And even worse, on question 6, you're risking $9,000 to win $5,000. The money doesn't necessarily have to double or more each time, but you shouldn't be risking more than you stand to gain, IMO.

very true kplewisvox, should've figured that out

[Yoshi]

Origionally, Millionaire was supposed to be called Cash Mountain with 25 questions at 1 pound and the last one at $1,00,000. What if...

$1,000,000
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000
$75,000
$50,000
$40,000
$30,000
$20,000
$15,000
$10,000
$8,000
$6,000
$4,000
$2,000
$1,000
$500
$300
$200
$100
$50
$25
$10
$5
$1

[Tim0n]

That would be just boring :L Who would want to watch that? More, who would want to GO on that??

[kplewisvox]

Technically, Cash Mountain was gonna be 21 questions. Probably just like the classic ladder with £50/£30/£20/£10/£5/£1 in front of it.

(Source on "21": ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Who_Wants_to_be_a_Millionaire%3F Scroll down to Trivia. Other formats included a 20 question set with a £5,242,880 top prize, or a £52,428,800 top prize.)
