Millionaire Game
« on: June 07, 2012, 04:06:31 PM »
Thanks to other forum members' success with "Wheel" and "Jeopardy" threads, I have decided to make a "Millionaire" thread. First one to get it right posts a question for others to answer, and so on. You ready?

This first question was worth $250,000:

Using an automated system called "Adworks", what unusual item was the first advertisement offered on Google?

A. Nose plugs
B. Live lobsters
C. Paint-by-number kits
D. Maternity jeans
Logged
Q: What's green, covered with cookie crumbs, and lies in a ditch?
A: A Girl Scout that's been hit by a car.

Huh, maybe should have gone back further. Anyways, you're correct, go ahead and post the next question.

This question, I just put together based on what I know (and it was on tonight's Jeopardy!, although worded differently and with a different correct response):

A dispute in 1859 known as the "Pig War" fought between the British and the U.S. for possession of what island in present-day Washington state?

A) Vashon Island
B) Fox Island
C) San Juan Islands
D) Bainbridge Island

A: Japan
B: Vietnam
C: South Korea

Fairly certain that "DS" was a code name, so I will go with that.
