Welcome to the Million Dollar Quiz Game Thread!
FACTS
- 16 players signed up
- Another 17 were spammed with the frist question anyway
- 18 people replied
- Some of them didn't bet their entire million - illiteracy FTL
- If you bet 1/3 - 1/3 - 1/3 every round, just because you have no clue, your EV is $152.42 after 8 rounds. So y'all should try to beat that.
Question 4
What was the first James Bond movie that featured Daniel Craig as 007?
- 1. Casino Royale
- 2. Die Another Day
- 3. Quantum of Solace
Spoiler
Casino Royale is the correct answer. This qjuestion turned out to be too easy for the remaining players. It is hard to judge the toughness of questions. The other James Bond question I considered was to name a Bond movie from further in the past and ask whether it was Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Roger Moore featuring as 007, but I thought that would have been too difficult.

The rich remain rich, the poorest got a little poorer. Just like the real world.
Now it is time to remember where this forum comes from. A poker trivia question is on your way!
The other James Bond question I considered was to name a Bond movie from further in the past and ask whether it was Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan or Roger Moore featuring as 007, but I thought that would have been too difficult.
Easyish as well imo. Could 100% the Brosnan ones, and if not him, probably heavily weight Moore over Dalton. I guess could lose a good chunk. Maybe would be a good question now that I think about it.
I don't watch Bond movies and I knew Casino Royale was a remake under a new Bond. But I wasn't 100% confident
Question 5
26. That's the combined total of WSOP bracelets that have been won by Daniel Negreanu, Eric Seidel and Phil Ivey. None of them ever won the Main Event. One of them even never won a bracelet at Texas Hold'em. Who?
- Daniel Negreanu
- Eric Seidel
- Phil Ivey
Spoiler
Phil ivey has won 10 bracelets, but none at Texas Hold'em. Seidel and Negeanu won most of their bracelets at Hold'em, so there were ways to POE the correct answer, if you follow poker.
The classification:
[table=head]player|Ca$h|Round Result
D1iabol1cal|$800000|-100000
POGcrazy94|$333333.33|0
ArcticKnight|$150000|-150000
eyebooger|$135000|0
Neil S|$50000|0
xander biscuits|$10000|-490000
[/table]
Xander sees his chances to win go up in smoke, as he wagered 480k on Eric Seidel.
D1iabol1cal has only lost 200k upto now, which is impressive.
I would have known that a few years ago. Totally checked out of poker. At least I had the foresight to put in a little safety net (very little)
Question 6
If you count the atoms in the human body, 98% are Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. Next comes Nitrogen at about 1%. Which other two elements have over 0.2%?
- Calcium and Phosporous
- Chlorine and Sodium
- Potassium and Sulphur
It appears the only thing you have to do to answer this question correctly is to binge watch Breaking Bad.
Spoiler
The correct answer is Calcium and Phosporous.
We have a shift in the classification, with two questions left to go.

D1iabol1cal|$200000|-600000

Neil S|$25000|-25000
xander biscuits|$10000|0
ArcticKnight|$0|-150000
[/table]
I nearly went all in on Calcium just because we have so much bone in our bodies. But I didn't know that for sure and hedged.
Thank you Breaking Bad 😃
I went for the ones with the lowest atomic numbers. Abundance and simplicity are often correlated in stuff like this.
Calcium seemed the most likely to me because of the bones, but then I was thinking wtf would so much phosphorous be doing there. I was totally forgetting that they're made of calcium PHOSPHATE. I'm an idiot.
Thx for running Gabe
consolation prize watch wen?
Question 7
The Democratic Republic of Congo, once known as Zaire:
- 1. is East of Sudan
- 2. is North of Angola
- 3. is South of Kenya
Spoiler
North of Angola is the correct answer. It is to the South of Sudan and to the West of Kenya

Thanks to all for playing!
I would've guessed that November Rain was even longer tbh.
Thanks for running.
I guess I should have played more conservatively at the start, we actually ended up with some questions I could answer.
Thanks for the game Gabe and congrats to the survivors.
I didn't sign up for this but it was interesting. Thank you for running it
i've definitely seen a live clip of paradise on the dashboard that felt like 20 minutes long, had i survived this long would have gone 100% on that being the longest
My 'tactics' nearly worked lol
GG all, congrats d1ab and thanks for running Gabe!
