Yeah. In the 1st game, that 1% question would be a 50 or 40% question. And as I am binge watching all the episodes, I am finding that all these 1% Qs are just too easy. At least the UK version requires you to think, these Qs in the US version I am getting straight away.
Hate to say it, but there might be a big clue in parentheses in the video title. While I know from experience that the best puzzlers in the US are extremely smart, there's clearly a lot of people out there who... aren't so good at these
@tombratcher6938 I think the learning opportunities for children are limited in the U.S.A. For example: issues with school system, low minimum wage meaning that many parents, and grandparents have to work more hours and spend less time raising their children; daycare too expensive for many; fundamentalist Christianity discouraging inquisitiveness, questioning, and critical thinking. (Why bother, when God has all the answers, and God shouldn't be questioned?) Also, children seem to be very much underestimated in American culture, particularly intellectually, and have just watched the Junior Taskmaster series made in the U.K. and I can't imagine American show treating children like that in terms of respecting them, joking with them (not laughing at them as 'cute'), not having participation prizes for everyone. It seems to me that American children are commonly failed by their society, resulting in American adults who lack skills in logic thinking and critical reasoning.
Doesn't anyone want to open a business? Pay back their college loans? Open a house of their own? Get married? Pay for charity??? What happened to our dreams? :/
Looking at the prize pot go up after each question is so cringe. Everyone knows it will be around 100k at the end. Everyone has to pretend to be excited when they add money to it.
Uh.. At 1:29:19 (While the answer is given) shows 2 separate letters. The question clearly states 'What letter pair' so like bb, cc, oo, mm, nn or rr etc because that is a letter PAIR. A pairing of the same letter. The answer using 2 diff letters is not a letter pair. They are separate letters and the question is wrongly worded.
Pair doesn’t imply 2 of the exact same thing. A pair of letters just means two letters. Have you ever paired up in a game. It doesn’t require an identical twin
33:23 - This is not correct. The fact that you ignore some words doesn't objectively change the sentence. "Stinking" is the most frequent word regardless of whether you ignore it or not.
@@Voriki2 Imagine this: There are three horses and five cows. Obviously, there are eight animals overall. But how many animals are there if you ignore the cows? STILL EIGHT!
It also doesn't say to start ignoring on the third word. If you remove the first, fourth, seventh word, and so on, every instance of "stinking" is still there.
The explorer's viewpoint question is pretty unfair for colorblind people, either lose or be forced to use your pass. The shapes of the objects should have been changed, not basing it on color.
The game is weirdly stale Also, the whole game asks for unfair survival trivia challenge where player must answer everything correctly or eliminated on the spot while answering non-passable answers...
@ozpilotgirl I'm not asking about the questions I'm asking about the whole process It's like one life, all question, must survive to the end One wrong answer and you get eliminated just like that?? Not cool Try to edit the game system like : round 1, the most correct answers are moving on, wrong answers NOT immediately eliminate you Round 2 point based, lowest score eliminated Round 3 randomize grouping, beat opponent team to move on Round 4 and final round, the surviving players now play for themselves, maybe add randomizer to the mix like extra life, random elimination, 1v1 showdown, extra score for correct answers, mystery prize, and so on And finale, answer 1 to 5 question to become that 1%, I'll let the organizer decide how the game works
@@videoseeker117Why is that not fair? That's how tonnes of game shows work, including the biggest in the world (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire). They even get the opportunity to skip.
I showed this show to my students ages 6-10 and they all got up to the 60% questions the 10 year old even got up to the 45% question correctly
The US version is considerably easier than the UK version!
The 1% population in the US is also considerably less bright than the UK 1% population.

No It isnt
why is this version so easy?
Idk

The 1% question of the first episode should have been the 90% question
27:50 I think the question is flawed. The moped would be two-TYRED, so all three answers have one correct word and one incorrect word.
'Tyre' is spelt 'tire' in American English.
Michael is handsome and smart for sure
Most certainly!
Doesn't anyone want to open a business? Pay back their college loans? Open a house of their own? Get married? Pay for charity???

Took 5 tries but I finally would have won one.
5 tries ???? Wow ! Well done I guess but don't watch uk version you'll have an aneurism

The excitement is that your still in it, like in squid game the money in the piggy bank was always going to be that amount regardless at the end

incorrect
I’m not even a native and get all the questions right 😅
It's not that sort of quiz.
They're all logic puzzles. No amount of trivia knowledge will help
@@212mochaman not true. the US monument one is easier if you are native. The answer isn't relevant to being a native but you dont know that going in.
33:23 - This is not correct. The fact that you ignore some words doesn't objectively change the sentence. "Stinking" is the most frequent word regardless of whether you ignore it or not.
You ignore it both in reading, AND in counting. You have to do a word count and see which word appears most.

It also doesn't say to start ignoring on the third word. If you remove the first, fourth, seventh word, and so on, every instance of "stinking" is still there.
I didn't figure out the logic of 15% question, while others got right, even the final 1% question.
Ever 3rd word is ignored.if you ignore every third word so the word stinking drops off.so then remains the most repeated word that is word

To easy, German Version is much more difficult to. Even as a German with mich less english knowledge, i could get almost through the show
The British version is more difficult too. I wonder why! 😂
It is at a secondary school level shouldn't cause too many problems for people
Got all 1% questions right.
The top winner getting up to 100,000? That’s not enough for a big win on a game show.
It's better than nothing at all
You also get eternal bragging rights.
Most of the questions are pretty easy. 100K is too much tbh.
100k isn't a lot ? How old are you... it's enough to make your life considerably more comfortable.
The game is weirdly stale

The questions are logic based, not trivia based. That is the whole concept of the show
@ozpilotgirl I'm not asking about the questions
I'm asking about the whole process
It's like one life, all question, must survive to the end
One wrong answer and you get eliminated just like that?? Not cool
Try to edit the game system like :
round 1, the most correct answers are moving on, wrong answers NOT immediately eliminate you
Round 2 point based, lowest score eliminated
Round 3 randomize grouping, beat opponent team to move on
Round 4 and final round, the surviving players now play for themselves, maybe add randomizer to the mix like extra life, random elimination, 1v1 showdown, extra score for correct answers, mystery prize, and so on
And finale, answer 1 to 5 question to become that 1%, I'll let the organizer decide how the game works
@@videoseeker117 after you answer 4 question right you get one pass lifeline.
@@mariojamnicky9049 right, but that robs you $1000 from your balance, yet that's all the gimmicks have to offer
