Since its first screening in the UK in 1998, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire? has become a global phenomenon. Over 20,000 contestants have appeared on 81 different international versions of the program, answering a mind-boggling number of trivia questions.
But one question was never answered. The riddle at the centre of it all, staring us in the face for years. We never bothered to ask ourselves: Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?
- Tim?
- Mean Old Alice?
- Latisha?
- Tyrone?
- Pete?
- Hugo?

'Half-pint' Hugo died shortly after this photo was taken while driving unlicensed. Technically, he no longer wants anything.
You have no idea who wants to be a millionaire. A dim-witted baby monkey’s ability to guess whether a total stranger wants a million dollars is superior to yours. This must be humbling for you. Hopefully you are good at other things.
You have some idea of who wants to be a millionaire. Occasionally, you are able to spot that telltale eye-twinkle that screams 'I want a million dollars please'. However, you tend to mistake that twinkle for romantic interest in you, leading to severe embarrassment.
You have a real aptitude for identifying people who want to be millionaires. This is a handy skill, but you should still learn a profession or trade, just in case you can't make a living out of identifying millionaires.
You know exactly who wants to be millionaire. Your millionaire radar is so attuned that you sometimes carry several million dollars around just to make strangers’ dreams come true. Amazing!
