And it says $5,000 now.

Edit: looks like it still might happen in couple minutes.

jpcamb

the 9pm is the big one tonight.

The Cow

No, the big one was supposed to be at 3:45pm. It's starting now, was just late.

RichC2

It just said $300,000 when starting up, it starts in 90 seconds. Even 2 million players.

jpcamb

thanks made it in If I win I'll buy you a DVD

The Cow

Are we gonna get a "if you smeeelllll what the Rock is cookin'?

2.2 million people, eesh.

dex14

Bleh. The lake one got me.

RichC2

My ASL is really bad. Whoops.

jjcool

Made it to question 8 here.

The Cow

Damn, I missed the CRISPR question.

RichC2

Goddamn, $1,041 per winner going into the last question.

Edit: $3,614.46 per winner.

The Cow

Scott and the Rock played well off of each other.

dex14

Yea. I updated my post. It changed on me. And then sent the alert that they were live.

RichC2

So, any of you folks one of the 14 from tonight? That pay out was kind of insane for this ($1,750 per person).

sydonesia

2 million played, 14 lasted to the last question and with those odds you realistically think one of them is here? (I died on Q8 for the record.)

What pisses me off about HQ is how hard it gets up until the last question and I swear to God, Q12 (or Q15) is SO much easier than the 4-5 questions before it, yet somehow MOST of the people get it wrong anyway. Like HOW? So it's like "Man, if I could have gotten to the last question...."

Cash Show is a good alternative. The payoffs are much lower but the live hosts (only on the evening shows) are a lot less annoying, you're only playing against 10% of the HQ crowd and honestly, if you know what you're doing, (there's always a trick question, recognize it), you'll win at least a few times a week.

I'm up $9 this weekend, which is $9 more than I will ever win on HQ.

Sorry, I have to, help yourself and me out... invitation code is 9KPJ4F.

And ONLY play on the weekends!

jpcamb

Whooot! I won $7 last night! first time I won at the game.

Groucho

Good work! Not an easy task. I didn't play last night, what was the winning question?

jpcamb

which director has had an R rated movie. Nancy Myers was the correct choice. It was an easy question.

RichC2

There was a 3rd game at 11:30 PM EST last night, wonder if that's normal?

spainlinx0

They do these special ones every now and then. It wasn't the first time.

Groucho

Interesting. Usually the last question is something crazy like "What is the atomic weight of vanadium?"

Defiant1

Yeah, I've been playing this for the past couple months. It's a lot of fun, but I've never won. I made it to Q10 or 11 once, which was exciting. I usually tap out around Q7-8.

The Cow

I still do this, and have never made it past Q10.

I also started doing the "Cash Show" that sydonesia mentioned. It's not as polished, but it's the same thing, except you are more likely to win some pennies. Around Q6 each question is a payoff (worth more for Q7, Q8, etc..), so you do build up cash over time, and then you can cash out when you hit $10.

Quack

Still waiting to win! Got an extra life ready for tonight's $25,000 which I'm sure I'll be done by Q8 LOL

mattysemo247

We made it to the final question last night and lost. I was pissed until I saw the payout. 12 cents
