I made it to Q13, the question about the app which was originally used to download a jazz concert. I knew I wouldn't know it, so I clicked the only lifeline I had left, the Ask the Audience. The way I understood it, that lifeline selects the most popular answer from all the answers submitted. By my short look, the correct answer, Venmo, had the most selections as well, which I thought meant I should still be in the game. But it booted me, and said I would just be playing for fun. Anybody know what I might have done wrong?

Hi all,

I used to post here as andyrinny, but haven't posted in many years. I no longer use the email I used then, and don't recall my password, so I re-registered as andyrinny2.

Anyhow, I had the same experience tonight as mrkelley23. I went to the audience on this same question, and it seemed that Venmo, choice 4 and the right choice, got the most responses (possibly 267). The app indicated that I had chosen choice 3 (Spotify, 2nd most popular, with maybe 243 responses). The app indicated that I had answered wrong and could then play just for fun. We was robbed!

Go with the Audience--will default the Contestant's selected response for the Question to be the same choice selected by the most individuals participating in that Question, including individuals who are participating without the opportunity to win a Prize (i.e. players who have been eliminated from the Contest, did not timely join during the Game Play Period or are otherwise playing along for fun.)

If you click on the rules in the app, under 3c it states

You only saw the responses from the people who were still in it at that point, but your ATA drew from all the people who had lost already. That's why it looked like it picked the #3 response when it including all the people at home clicking randomly.

I messed up on the triangle question, leaving two lifelines on the table again.

So if I do ever try the 50/50 or Double Dip, do they work like in the real game? I still have to select my answer (or two answers) after using the lifeline, before time runs out?
