 Has it, in fact, been rerun exactly three times this year?

 On the daily run it's three times rerun. WHen you add the double airings and weekend airings, that would increase it.

I"m not sure this would be construed as cheating, but back in the long-missed days of the Millionaire phone game, I would call more than the one time per day. I would use a "dummy" birthdate of 1900 or 1901(figuring no one who was 100 years old, save Jason Block's grandma maybe, would have the guts to try out for the show). It allowed me to hear a great deal of questions, if I answered all three questions, I hung up.

 Yeah, I'd call that cheating.

 WIth all due respect, looking at a map of the world to answer geography-based questions while playing the phone qualifying game, which some admitted to doing, is just as much cheating, though you'd never get caught doing it.
