Who Wants to be a Millionaire

Who Wants to be a Millionaire is a TV show in which contestants get increasingly more money for correctly answering increasingly difficult multiple-choice questions (4 choices for each question), with 3 "life lines" that can help them to more easily win. The life lines are: phone a friend (where a friend tells them what they think is the right answer), ask the audience (where the audience punches in what they think is the right answer) and 50/50 (where they 2 of the wrong answers are eliminated, usually the 2 most ridiculous options). The show is known for having lengthy pauses between each question.
