With no actual show pressure, I got this one from what seemed like pretty heavy clues in the question. Don't know if I would have risked a guess for real though. Let's say I use my first JTQ, maybe.

They give you the wrong answer. Now what?

This is why I've asked in the past what we who play on the Bored do in this situation: Assume we got it right? What else can we do, since we don't have an audience to poll?

Our comments in the transcript threads aren't really a game, so we don't have any hard and fast rules. We're trying to be honest about what we know and don't know, when we'd use lifelines, whether we'd take a risk in a given situation (when we really can't simulate the pressure of actually being there), etc. So there are always conditionals in the results we're simulating: if the ATA result was good enough for me to trust (and how would we determine what's "good enough" for any particular question), then the following questions would be good/bad ones for me, etc.

This helps. I have to assume when I use ask-the-audience they will have it right, though in this particular situation we did have an audience poll and they were wrong. I plan to not "walk away" here or if I'm on the show someday. A contestant coordinator told us at my audition this summer, the show's past millionaires went as far as they did because they decided $250,000 or $500,000 wasn't enough for them. That was powerful. (And it's only money.)
