[quote name=\'Ian Wallis\' date=\'Nov 10 2003, 07:02 AM\'] That has happened a lot, but I've noticed on the Merideth version, quite often when it's between two answers the 50:50 will eliminate one of those answers making it a more obvious choice.

I don't think that ever happened on Regis' version. [/quote]
 Which is, in fact, the entire point of this thread.

Jay Temple:
I think that it would be better to do a random select for each question beforehand, where the Standards & Practices people would know in advance.

 Au contraire, remember Rob Gelbman's $32K question from the initial August '99 run?

His final LifeLine was 50/50.

Beginning in January, what sign of the zodiac comes first?
Cancer - Aquarius - Capricorn - Sagitarrius

Rob Gelbman thinks out loud: "I think it's Aquarius." (audience member gasps) "Can I use my 50/50?"

The 50/50 leaves Capricorn and Aquarius.

He sticks with Aquarius and loses $15,000.

Robert Hutchinson:
Um . . . how is that to the contrary of what either Ian or Chris said?

Actually the question called for which one came last.

He got it wrong, sued, and either he lost or it got tossed out (can't remember which, and no ZH, I don't care which it is).
