WHO wants to be a Millionaire’s easiest ever £1m question revealed but can you get it right?
Over the course of the popular hit quiz show only six contestants have received its top prize of £1 million.
Davyth Fear, from Caenarfon, raced through the multiple choice questions while facing the tv show’s presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
During the episode, Jeremy joked: “I’m slightly worried this whole screen is going to move towards you because I think your genius is generating gravity.”
Davyth used his ‘Ask the Audience’ lifeline when faced with his daunting £500,000 question.
“Which of these condiments is the oldest, having been established since 1814, as stated on its label?”
After gaining the audience’s help, he correctly answered Colman’s Mustard then Jeremy asked him his exciting final question.
The million pound question was: “Which of these people was born the same year as Queen Elizabeth II?”
The options were Audrey Hepburn, Judy Garland, Julie Andrews and Marilyn Monroe.
Would you have got it right?
Unsure, Davyth phoned his friend to help him with the answer.
Elizabeth II was born in 1926 but Davyth’s friend thought the answer was Judy Garland born 1922.
Davyth wasn’t sure if he was right, so the retired geography teacher took the money instead of risking his massive winnings.
He then declared he would have guessed Audrey Hepburn 1929, but the correct answer was actually Marilyn Monroe.
Viewers rushed to Twitter to express their thoughts on the show.
One declared: “easy question for the £1m.”
Would you know the answers to some of quizzing TV's hardest questions
Another commented: “when you’re watching #whowantstobeamillionaire and [know] the million pound question and screaming it out thinking somehow he is going to magically [know] the answer with you doing so.”
“£500,000 that’s Half a Million to Davyd so not bad at all but you did really well Davyd.” said a third.
“Maybe a retired Geography teacher would have guessed it, but not the heights. Wouldn’t be surprised if he has climbed them all. Well done.” said another.
Another agreed with the sentiment and added: “David was a clever guy.”
Davyth’s brother Donald, went on to win the £1,000,000 in a later episode of the show.
Donald was also the first top-prize winner with lifelines to spare, using only the his 50:50 during the show.
Donald said his brother was his hero and best friend.
“Other way around now,” said presenter Jeremy Clarkson.
