Welcome to the fifth edition of Who Wants to Be A Millionaire
Hall of Fame: TheCalvinator24
(Million dollar winner)
The Life Lines
Ask The Audience - Everyone who is watching the game posts what they think the answer is and the contestant picks which one he wants (or if no one posts in 10 minutes, I will allow the the contestant to use a 5 minute google search)
Phone A Friend - One bored member of the contestant's choice post's what he thinks the answer is.
50:50 - Same as Show
Switch The Question - This life line becomes available after the 25,000 dollar question is answered correctly.
The Cash Prize Questions Ladder
$1,000,000
$500,000
$250,000
$100,000
$50,000
$25,000
$16,000
$8000
$4000
$2,000
$1000
$500
$300
$200
$100
obvious rules: Unless you use a life line all of the answers to these question must come from your own knowledge, we are on the honor system. Why would you want to cheat anyway, you don't win any money. Plus these questions are supposed to be hard there is no shame in getting just one wrong.
Fastest Finger Question
Put these US Presidents in order of there date of birth starting with the Earliest.
A. Richard Nixon
B. Dwight D. Eisenhower
C. Lyndon B. Johnson

I'm puzzled as to why no one is answering, I'll assume the question is too tricky:
Put these US cities in order of geographical location starting in the west and going east
A. Carson City
B. Los Angles
C. Austin
D. Memphis
I'll accept an answer to either FFQ now.
