Thank you, thank you, thank you! Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire. I'm Regis Philbin, and I'll be your host for this special event. Tonight, one lucky player could walk out of our newspaper studio and win 1 million mills (1000 USD)! So here's how this works. I am going to ask a question with four answers. Your job is to put these answers in the correct order and post your response in the comments. Whoever puts the answers in the correct order and posts their comment first will get the chance to play for 1 million mills!
In the interest of full disclosure, here is what will happen when we have a contestant in the Hot Seat. That contestant will then be 11 questions away from winning $1000, or 1 million mills. This is the money tree.
11. 1 MILLION ₥
10. 500,000 ₥
9. 250,000 ₥
8. 125,000 ₥
7. 64,000 ₥
6. 32,000 ₥
5. 16,000 ₥
4. 8,000 ₥
3. 4,000 ₥
2. 2,000 ₥
1. 1,000 ₥
(Note to WWTBAM purists: yes, the 11-question format was only used in Australia and only for a year. But it makes more sense to do it this way when you consider that 10 cents does basically nothing.)
So you're 11 questions away from winning 1 million mills (1000 USD). Remember that if you have one wrong answer, your game is over. That being said, there are safe havens at the 1000 ₥ and 32000 ₥ question levels. Get those questions right, you will leave with at least those amounts of money.
The one contestant will play his or her questions on the IRC, and I will post the questions and the contestant's answers afterwards, except for in one special case, which I'll explain below.
Of course, we want to help you win 1 million mills, so we have three lifelines to help you get there. (Note to purists: the lifelines are different.) 50:50 will remove two incorrect answers, Switch the Question will toss whatever question you're on and replace it with one worth the same number of mills, and (my personal favorite) Ask the Audience will throw the question to the comments section, where people will have 24 hours to post their opinion. If you get to the 32000 ₥ level, you will have two options. One choice would be to reinstate a lifeline already used. If you don't want to do that (or you have all your lifelines intact), you'll get a bonus lifeline instea
Besides the questions, there is something else you're playing against: the big, bad clock. You will have 30 seconds to answer questions 1-6 and 60 seconds to answer questions 7-10. The million dollar question is untimed. Lifelines stop the clock until their usage is complete, except Double Dip, which stops the clock for the entire question. If you run out of time on the clock, you will be forced to walk away.
ON THAT NOTE: you may walk away at any time with the money you have won up to that point.
So, without further ado, here is the Fastest Finger Question (submit your answers in the format XXXX OK, where each X is a different letter):
Put these units of computer memory in the right order, starting with the smallest.
A : Gigabyte
B : Kilobyte
C : Terabyte
D : Megabyte

😛Double Dip. This lifeline will allow you to take two shots at the same question. If you decide to use it, though, you cannot walk away from that question.
