LUREDADDY52 Correct. The four main words. Which is EVERY word he wanted in the google search. Carol. Brady. Maiden. Name. And he didn't spell out either of the maiden name choices. Watch it again. He only spelled out Brady. Furthermore, he spelled out the words 'maiden' and 'name'. Every adult should know how to spell 'maiden', and every child should know how to spell 'name'. Had he not wasted time shouting "DO THIS" and then spelling half the sentence out, Mike Lease probably would have found the answer.

[@LUREDADDY52]

+Joshua Neal Actually he did spell out Carol, watch it again. Well Mike didn't seem to know how to spell "maiden" as he asked for him to spell it again. Saying 'DO THIS' was a lot quicker than reading the first line. I did picked up on your exaggeration, was it meant to be funny? Yes I know he did spell out every word needed for the search, yes the four words I'm referring to Carol Brady's maiden name, but you say he didn't spell Carol & only spelt three words. Then why say the four words your referring to? I know he didn't spell out the maiden name choices, if he had all I would say is I pity poor Mike.

There is an episode where someone tried to do it and the phoneline was cut off and they sacrificed their lifeline.

[@strykah92]

Alex Shepherd Look up Pat Gibson's million pound question in the UK version. It's rather interesting that the phone a friend he used was suddenly certain of the answer after 20 seconds. What's even more interesting is that since then, high-value questions were worded in such a way that nobody could use the information to decipher the answer by looking it up on Google within 30 seconds. But either way, the instance where the guy was cut off, do you know if there's footage of it here on KZbin?
