Caption
  • Jim had no idea, and being the last question, he decided to ask the audience, just in case they happened to know it, who voted 20-7-25-48. Jim believed that all presenters were plausible choices, so he decided to walk away with $500,000. The correct answer was A: Peter Jennings .
  • Although a European history major, he could not recall any city called Christiania. He therefore decided to call his friend and colleague Steve. Jim only told Steve to look up Christiania in an encyclopedia, but time ran out before he could tell him anything. He then decided to use his 50:50, eliminating A and D. With camera shots of his family being really nervous, Jim recalled that Sweden controlled most of Scandinavia and that they had a king called Christian. Armed only with this fact, he decided to go with it , and won $250,000.
