39:40 If you turn the number 96 upside down by rotating it about the x-axis, it does not remain as 96! 88 is the largest number that holds this property so 88 can be considered a correct answer. The question doesn’t specify what constitutes “upside down”, and this is ambiguous.
If you flip the number (reflection) to make it "upside down" then the largest number is 88. If you turn the number (rotation) to make it "upside down" then the largest number is 96. As the question doesn't specify a method, we can consider all methods valid - so the answer is 96.
@@beng4186 All methods are valid, but it is ambiguous as to whether the number must look the same regardless of the method used. The question merely states "looking the same upside down", 88 always looks the same upside-down, 96 sometimes looks the same upside-down, but it doesn't always look the same upside-down. Thereby giving 2 answers.
@@arcieplays9040 Yes, it's ambiguous. But my point is that in any case of ambiguity, we ignore any conditions that aren't explicitly stated in the question. This is true for both academic exams where questions are to be taken literally and for TV game shows where the trick is often about removing some subconscious biases or assumptions.
Well for me those questions before 1% were easier... You know it also depends on things you are talented with, so for some people are some questions easier and harder
The answer to the 1% question in the first show (45:00) is incomplete, which makes it WRONG! ROTATOR may be the only WORD that answers the question but surely NOT the only PASSWORD! PASSWORDS can just as well be WORDS but more often than not they are simply a string of letters without any meaning. Thus TORAROT, ORTATRO, AOTRTOA and many others are just as valid as ROTATOR!
The lack of education and common sense in the states is abysmal. The U.K. version of this programme is miles ahead. I like this host, truly, but not in this format.
Oh c'moon, again and again they need to hire better question-writers! Yet again, the final question doesn't specify "It should be an existing word"! So not just "rotator" was possible, but multiple options like "AROTORA" or "ORATARO", which I immediately thought of and was pretty pleased with myself till the end thinking "I hope they didn't mean it should be an existing word". And there's sooo many rounds where the questions are written eirther in a not specific enough way to have multiple interpretations (like they are on shows like "Pointless" where the wording is extremely well thought-out and watertight to have just ONE interpretation) , or they're too hard / too easy for the round.
Questions on this show in the US and the UK are ridiculously poorly-worded to allow for so many interpretations. For example, according to the official international Scrabble dictionary, the fourteen-letter word "noncoincidence" exists - although this does not use all the letters, they have not specified that this is necessary, and they have not specified which dictionary they are using as an arbiter.
e3: The word “capital” when used to describe the Capital of a state, like, “Colombus is the Capital of Ohio”, has to be capitalized in order to be referring to a Capital of a city. The answer to their question wasn’t ambiguous, it was answered wrong by the question writers. They asked “how many capitals…” were in their sentence that included the name Washington DC. In that case DC wouldn’t be counted as a “Capital”, but its name would count +3 towards the total number of “capital” letters in the sentence. Frustrating to watch that pass.
I think they should show the graphic with the number of wrong answers and the new prize pot simoultaneously (or it's a boring waste of time). And the catch phrase 'and who's out of the game' isn't very catchy, in my view
On ALL of these episodes the black women always get out on the first question. That first question even a 2-year old could get right yet 2 black women got it wrong out of 3 people who did.
i have heard that the one hundred contestants, before the show, state either yes or no, on whether they wish to be spoken to by the host. This includes when they get a question wrong. obviously, if they go the whole way, then they will need to interact with the host. Same as the UK version.
@dhekelia133 that's crazy, you'd think it would just be mandatory, you're on a game show. I thought maybe they interview them beforehand and like decide who are interesting and who are duds.
Not impossible. I got it by using the second clue because it's the strongest logic. It rules out 6 months immediately, then I just started cycling through the remaining months as quickly as I could starting with February and the next one was April, which worked so it had to be true.
@@TheTriomoI also (barely) did it in time. Cycling through the months until I reached April, when I realised in time. It’s definitely tricky but anyone practiced with similar word logic puzzles could do it.

I LOVE this show!! Season 2 please!!!!!
watch the uk version yet?
@ YES! So good!
Some of the questions before the 1% question is harder than the 1% itself.
Makes sense. You can't pass the 1% question and everyone knows it and as such everyone would be more inclined to go for it
Well for me those questions before 1% were easier... You know it also depends on things you are talented with, so for some people are some questions easier and harder
Why does the host not stop talking when there are questions to answer??????
To keep the viewers at home entertained
Obviously for entertaining daaa
only shallow people like you are entertained by his silly, corny jokes..
It’s the format of the show. It’s a British concept 😅
It also helps them eliminate people since some contestants will get distracted while solving the questions
I also got the 1% question right in the 2nd episode as my very 1st time!😭😭
P.S.: I also root for you Dana! 😊
Using part of your gameshow prize money to get a DNA test for your dog might be the most American thing I've ever heard.
1st episode rtoaotr could be his password, it didnt specify it had to be a recognized word.
by that stupid 'logic' any acceptable combination could be the password.
I hope this show gets another season
OMG yeeess! Can't wait for the next season
Watch the original UK version, there’s been multiple series of it so far
@Westicathe uk one will be to hard for these Americans
I feel like the 1st episode of villain is staged
Agree ... 100%
the last 1% question I got it, April, but I have to write them all down and cancel accordingly. no way I could work that out mentally lol
thx for spoiling for us
11:52 if I answered lips instead of mouth does it mean that I would've lost if I had participated?
I think they'd let that one pass. There is a notary present (if it's the same as in Germany) who decides on any tolerance in answers.
Nah, that'd be allowed 🟢
Such an awesome game show!!!
I answered everything correctly except the 10% question. But in 1% question, it took me around 5 minutes to find the answer "rotator" 😂😂
I thought rotator at first but then my dumb self said “wait, rotator has an E” 😂😂
The answer to the 1% question in the first show (45:00) is incomplete, which makes it WRONG!
ROTATOR may be the only WORD that answers the question but surely NOT the only PASSWORD!

Thus TORAROT, ORTATRO, AOTRTOA and many others are just as valid as ROTATOR!
Its more interesting if you show how many people answer A ,B or C
Honestly? I am not even a native English speaker and most of the questions, including the 1% questions and the questions about US geography, are easy.

Nobody thinks it weird the host talks to like 5 people all the time? There is a 100 people
The number of capitals question is a joke.
Good host but should not joke during answering time
you can spell backwards and forwards for ROTATOR, TORAROT and so on.... unspesific password.. the finasl question is ambiguous...

The 60% question was a bit tricky - needed to pause the video for a few seconds but managed to decipher the hidden message :)

Oh my, I forgot to add the E twice for the 35% question!
For the second game, I managed to get every answer within 30 seconds but got tripped up by the 1% question. My answer was 'convinced'.
Change this host bruh . Very annoying.
Episode 2 at 1:23:50 LWLCNIT_ ? How is the answer "S"?
Those letters are the first letters of the words in the question.
Just read the question carefully and you will get it :)
