You're just 4 right answers away from a million squid. Question 9 is worth 150 grand. Get it right and you double your money. Get it wrong and you lose 75,000. You have 50/50 and Phone/Ask/Implore/Beseech/Supplicate/Badger/Annoy a friend left.

"In sooth, I know not why I am so sad" is the opening line of which Shakespearean comedy?
A) The Merchant of Venice B) The Merry Wives of Windsor
C) A Midsummer Night's Dream D) Much Ado About Nothing

Another bit of online jiggerypokery, a friend was asked! And A was decided upon! The answer is.....

A! The Merchant of Venice. You are up to £150,000.

I'm taking a small break to imagine what pot_the_lot might look like in the flesh but I'll be back in minutes to ask Question 10!

In minutes u been gone an hour lol

Im gorgeous cloone thats all u need to know haha

So, we resume with Gorgeous having answered 9 questions right and being just three questions away from sinking the big one. Pots, you have one lifeline left, and that is the fiddy-fiddy.

Have a look at Question 10, and terrify yourself with the stifling knowledge that if you get it wrong, you lose thirty-three-and-one-third percent of your winnings. Get it right, however, and you're up to £¼ of 1,000,000! See what you think.

Which is the only one of these bands that has had a Number One single in the UK singles chart?

A) Genesis B) Pink Floyd
C) The Smiths D) The Cure

Well pinkfloyd stopped releasing singles in 1968


So that leaves three hmm can i use 50-50 pls

You can indeed!

And to make sure we can all see the question is randomly drawn, and that I just don't start picking from the wrong answers (cos then you'll know what the right answer is), I'll pick two random answers from all four, and then they'll be the right and wrong answer. If they're both wrong, then the two not picked are the right and wrong answer. Either way, a wrong answer is randomly selected from the three to be paired with the right answer, and no-one knows what the right answer is.

The random selection will take place, or will have taken place, at http://www.chatzy.com/524848458019

RIGHT! Here's what happened after a bit of the old 50/50:
