Millionaire: Where would you place this question?
SuperMatch93:
Last night on a game show Discord I'm a member of, we were discussing the following hypothetical Millionaire question:
--- Quote ---On what day of the week was John F. Kennedy assassinated?
A. Tuesday
B. Wednesday
C. Thursday
D. Friday
--- End quote ---
I asked them what dollar value they'd give to this question, and their responses varied. Some said they'd put it all the way at $1M, others said a few rungs down, and some made the good point that it would vary based on the era of the show (lower on Meredith's, for instance). Knowing that some members here are former contestants, I'm curious as to what you all think this would be worth. Feel free to specify era, if you'd like.
PYLdude:
I wouldn’t even put it on the board. It’s just too obscure to be worth it.

I was about to say the opposite. I don't think it's obscure at all. As a point of reference, the syndicated version once asked what *time* Kennedy died for $100,000.
There's a list of spooky parallels between Kennedy and Lincoln. Some are true and some are apocryphal, but the fact that they were both shot on a Friday is one of them.
I'd say no more than $30,000 value, so Q9 for Harrison, Q10 for Meredith, maybe Q11 for Reege.
TLEberle:
I’d say a buck ninety-eight?
Would I slot it in the games I run with Brian Henegar? No. Were it mine to do it’s probably either $8,000 or $16,000 given how well known 11/23/63 is.

As Travis said, I think the date is fairly well known. Additionally, the assassination has never been related to Thanksgiving Day proper, so I think that takes it down to a 1:3 shot given the choices.
