Why Million Dollar Password isn't spelled as $1,000,000 Password, for example?!

Just, you know, cos.

If the game show is changing it's name, will you like this change?!

Where's "Nobody Cares"?

Then why'd you ask the question in the first place?

I think this is because these are American shows, and most of us wouldn't watch them.

I've never heard of either of them.

Slumdog Millionaire is a very-very famous movie based on the novel Q&A written by Vikas Swarup in which Jamal Malik won Rs.2,00,00,000 (2 crore Rupees) in Kaun Banega Crorepati game show (Indian Who Wants to Be a Milliionaire franchise).

P.S. Do you remember that this is just a movie, NOT game show?!

P.P.S. Please listen : Phone a Friend 30 second countdown

P.P.P.S. First 12 seconds are waiting music. Then 30 sec countdown. I checked.

Let's talk about Bin or Win. There can be 6 killer balls in all: 4 in round 1, 1 in round 2 and 1 in Bin or Win round. There are 6 balls to bin and 5 to win. That means, there's a probability that all killer balls are binned. But first, please go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial%20coefficient before I start explaining it
OK, are you back? I'm here. The probability of non-killer win is C(n, 5)/C(11, 5) (n - number of non-killer balls).
But if you don't want to calculate, here's the chart After one binned and one won ball the probability is C(n, 4)/C(9, 4). Here's the chart. After two binned and two won balls the probability is C(n, 3)/C(7, 3). Here's the chart. After 3 binned and 3 won balls the probability is C(n, 2)/C(5, 2). Here's the chart. Here goes the final decision: which from remaining 3 balls to win. The probability is C(n, 1)/C(3, 1)=n/3. But if you don't want to calculate this simple formula, I still give you a chart.

You should really stop trying to do probability.

Just sayin'.

Where's the vote for "never seen it"? I thought mathematicians are supposed to be able to create fair polls including non-leading questions covering all possibilities (maybe using an other (please specify) option)?

No more new topics please Dmitry.

Vote "No" then

But how would he know he doesn't like it if he hasn't seen it? Surely polls are meant to be accurate. That's the whole point of having a poll.

Ha! That was not me buying the magazine, I was selling it!!!!

Just to help you out Dmitry, $ is a monetary symbol that means "Dollar", and without any other letters is usually taken to mean the American, especially if the statement is of US origin. Similarly, 1,000,000 is a mathematical symbol pertaining to the number one million. In correct English prose one would usually write out the number as a word.

Therefore (and this really is quite simple - I'm surprised you didn't understand it) $1,000,000 and one million Dollars mean the same thing.

Hope that helped.

Fair play for being bothered to type it Lesley! You certainly get a like from me for persistence.
Will it help Dmitry understand his own question? Will it make him think twice before posting such drivel in the future? Will it fuck.

Don't worry, I've still got loads of gears left after 'dripping sarcasm'...

Here you can play many game shows (including Countdown*)!

Like Jack Hurst is an exact copy of you.

It's a children game show where a team of five 2-3 grade students attempts to beat those REALLY BIG LETTERS.
Gameplay
In all rounds except the final the team tries to earn some of the five letter cubes, or perhaps all five. They have to create a 5-letter word from those letter cubes in 10 seconds. Some cubes may be missing. In this case, they try to guess the letters on them. If they create a word, they earn big letters for later use.
Round 1
The team has to find as much letter cubes as they can from 2000 balls in the pool in 1 minute.
First "!"
The team has to name 10 words beginning with one of the big letters in a given time limit to earn "!".
Round 2
Each player in the team is given one paper sheet. The texts on all sheets are the same, except orphographic mistakes are different, each sheet having ONLY ONE mistake. They then have to correct the mistakes in a given time limit, then in turn declaring the corrections. Each correct correction earns the team a letter cube, but if the player makes another mistake, s/he don't earn the team a letter cube.
Second "!"
The team has to name 15 words ending with one of the big letters in a given time limit.
Round 3
Audience round, usually naming some story characters. This round earn big letter/s IMMEDIATELY if won
Round 4
Each episode has different stunt to complete
Third "!"
The players in turn have to name a word with one of the big letters coctaning twice in a word.
The team won't earn "!" if:
1) the player didn't name a valid word;
2) the player fails to respond in 5 seconds.
Final
The missing letters in a word are marked with "!". There can be 3 or sometimes more "!" in a word
The team has to guess a word in a given time limit, sometimes using their "!" to substitute them for letters if they can
If they solved it, they earn a superprize. If they didn't, they earn a consolation prize. Anyway, the word is revealed
Superfinal
The players should make as many words as they can from the letters in the big word (as in Boggle except no direction restrictions) in 60 seconds and extra 10 seconds for each "!" remaining.
The winner of the round wins a superduperprize and gets to say a word or two (as in Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? or The Weakest Link).

Nobody fucking cares

What Ben said.

I have seen many worse formats than Word Poker.
I wonder why they didn't use it.

Discuss any Eyeworks game show here, Beat the Blondes, for example.

Do they have one called 'Gag the Ruskie'

Just for you, Dmitry.

Much tidier.

Special being the operative word

Is the aim of this show to win the biggest-possible stick for the finale?

Classy stuff, Dmitry. Email them and tell them they're missing Jeremy Kyle from their line-up.

Lock request.

You must play this:
.
It's like Countdown Conundrum, but with balls instead of cards and with some twists. BUT you have 15 sec instead of 30.
If the game doesn't load, try this link:
