Now that is something special. We have this format ( bit changed ) in Poland since 1994 and it is called One out of ten :) Anyway in-game formula is similar, also 40 questions in final. There were few brainiacs in programs history, but nobody did 40 questions in a row. Type "Dominik Rauer" if want to see our format and a guy who was on right track.

Arguably, Daphne Fowler's performance was greater still - as her episode had 11 surviving contestants at the beginning of round 2 (while Bill McKaig's only had 5 contestants at this stage, and thus only needed to eliminate two). Either way, they were both incredible.

Watching this couple hours after Polish version of the show, "Ten to One", saw their first maximum scoring contestant in history. Artur Baranowski scored 803 points in the final round, answering all 40 final questions correctly by himself. Why not 433? In Polish version if contestant scores 3 correct answers by the buzzer and asks for question, every correct answer is awarded with double points.

Yesterday, the maximum score was achieved in Polish version of this game show (1 z 10). The winner contestant, Artur Baranowski, scored 803 points, because in final round, each correct answer for the "self-nominating" question is worth 20 points!
This was a very unique episode. Ten people were eliminated in the first round and Bill got the highest score ever in 15-1.

@SheffieldSteel100013 жыл бұрын
I loved 15 - 1! It's my favourite of the quiz shows for three reasons. 1) There are tons of questions asked during the half hour, unlike the likes of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire where you are lucky to get 15 in one episode, 2) They standard is the same throughout, meaning no absurdly easy or absurdly difficult questions like on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or The Weakest Link, and 3) All the questions are about things which are worth knowing, not about pointless celebrity gossip!
@harryp73462 жыл бұрын
To be fair, the standard could fluctuate sometimes, e.g. true or false questions (or others with a similarly limited range of answers). But in general, it was a great level for a quiz show. For example, I got 60% of these answers, and might have guessed another 10% - that's quite a satisfying ratio. I also like University Challenge, which meets your first and third points, but some questions are very tough. Generally, my success rate is much lower!

This was a fantastic effort from Bill here - a maximum possible 433 score, and only an absolutely other-worldly performance from his long-time grand final rival Nick Terry prevented him from winning the Grand Final of this series too... It would have seemed inconceivable at the time given his formidable knowledge here, but this would actually be Bill's last ever winning appearance on 15-to-1 - in the grand final of this series, he was (as aforementioned) eventually outclassed by Nick Terry, and had to settle for the runner-up spot; then, when he returned in the following series, he was finally eliminated from the show after losing his heat game

Looks like it was an interesting show. I live in Canada, and despite how good this show is, I'm not sure if it would work on this side of the pond. I have seen a few episodes of the revival with the new host, and she seems to have more interaction with the contestants on there, likely because it seems to be a one hour show this time. Despite the dominant performance, it must still be difficult to get this far in one episode.
