Question 1 – Dialing Out
When using a standard telephone keypad, what number would one hit if they were to “Dial m for Murder”?
A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7

Spoiler

Patricia: I’m really not sure.
A-B-C is on 1.
D-E-F is on 2.
G-H-I is on 3.
J-K-L is on 4.
L –M-N, 5?

I’m gonna say “B,” 5, final answer.

She's lucky she's from WE, a grand should be enough for some toner.

Whenever you see a contestant jump an easy-looking first question, they're guaranteeing safe passage from this nightmare.

By the way, when I saw there were three contestants today, and I saw this question come up, I knew exactly what mistake Patricia was about to make. It's like when the babysitter in the slasher flick runs upstairs. Yelling at the screen tends not to work.

Let's see -- Nothing on 1, abc on 2, def on 3, ghi on 4, jkl on 5, mno on 6 ... 6, final answer.

OK, I checked the phone -- Whew!

So that's why they take away our cell phones before we tape!

That question was the Millionaire nightmare scenario... a perfectly logical Q to work out with no lifelines needed, as long as you eventually realize there aren't any digits on the '1' key.

I was shocked that she was wrong until I thought about it and realized the '1' key is for all my symbols on my circa-1990 Zack Morris cell phone.

Glad she's local, so at least she doesn't have to use the 1K to recoup travel expenses.

I don't think she's going to make it.

When she started out putting "ABC" on the "1" key I figured she'd miss it, and sure enough she did.
