Default Re: Party\'s $1000000 Touchdown

[ QUOTE ]
I was saying if 10,000 people answered all 40 questions. This is probably very high but whether its 1/100,000 or 1/10,000,000, the EV change for them is less then ten dollars.

Assuming 50:50 quesitons and 10000 people each week answering all 5 questions:

About 300 will get all 5 right, payout of $30,000.
About 1500 will get 4 of 5 right, payout of $75,000.
Total PP payout: $105,000...each week for 8 weeks, for a total payout of about $850K, even if nobody hits all 40.
