Matt S. 492 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 That's a pretty obscure question for the general public to know. Anybody know what the dollar value of that question was? I'll bet it was fairly high. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know what the dollar value of that question was? I'll bet it was fairly high. Only $7,000. It was the sixth question. Basic deduction should have ruled everyone out except Williams. He used his +1 lifeline and they picked Katharine Hepburn. Sorry about the misleading topic headline. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,296 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Obviously easy for us but I'd have thought A and C were obvious red herrings. Hepburn getting 50 nominations? Well, maybe the Oscars worked differently back in the Golden Age, but generally actors and directors can't rack up nominations the way technical category nominees can.

For the average guy (especially someone who wouldn't really care about the Oscars), the most obvious solution would be to chose one of the most famous names amongst the choices, and the fact is John Williams is probably the least-known name amongst those 4. Doesn't surprise me he picked Hepburn. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoltan_902 141 Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 That's an oddly specific statistical question. Guess we know what CD's the question writer keeps in their collection. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh500 1,615 Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 That guy looks like someone who may not even be entirely certain who Steven Spielberg is! "Spielberg? Isn't that the dude who directed Titanic?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
