So it would have been Darrell's $250K question, and I can see why. My first instinct would have been to say "peace", but had this actually occurred in the stack I would have had lifelines and used one - my second JTQ. If I were in Bob's position I'd have gone for "peace" and left with nothing.

I could have sworn this question was on a video game version of Millionaire which is why I got it correct.

What kind of cheapskates are TPTB to only offer $1K for a "Classic" Millionaire Question? Suppose a contestant walks with $250K and there is still time for a 1Q contestant. Are they seriously going to give the contestant only $1K for correctly answering a million dollar question? How lame is that? For (neo)classic millionaire questions, why not give at least a full 1% of the actual value?

Bumping a very old thread (Why am I not studying? Why?) This transcript does not indicate how the player did on the question. I may still have this one on the DVR (seriously. I still have about half of last season on there. For a while I thought I was going to get around to watching them.)
Let's see...

Yep, I still had it. Truth is, one of the reasons I still have all those shows on the DVR is because I noticed the missing info when I first read this thread, many months ago. I procrastinated looking it up long enough that I forgot exactly which show was missing. Finally I can delete those shows with impunity.
