What an episode! (or should I say 2 episodes.)

btw., I love using that phrase as the title.

Million Dollar Question

I was watching GSN's "Who Wants to be Millionaire" just now.
One guy has answered all 14 questions correctly in a row.
What's more amazing is that he didn't use any aides at all (half-half elimination, ask the audience, or hotline).
And the 15th question is the million dollar question:
What's Carol Brady's maiden name?
The guy used up all 3 lifelines in order to get this right.
When he was on the phone to try to ask his friend to search the answer on the internet, he told his friend to search for "carol" "brady" "maiden" and "name".
The problem is he spent so long on explaining the question and the keywords that, time run out before his friend could give an answer.
So, finally this guy did the smart thing to walk away with 500,000 dollars.
Several minutes ago, I did a google search on these four keywords, and the answer "Tyler" was at the very top of the results list.
I don't know how regretful this guy must be. Probably mixed feelings. He missed the last question, but he did get half of the money.
Sometimes, life is about making choices.
