Yep, so this was a long long time ago. 2001. A dude known as Charles Ingram cheated the game and got to 1 million. Luckily he got caught and owned, with 3 years in prison, losing the winnings, and he had to PAY £115,000 in fees lolol. Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQoNWw0G2AY&feature=related You should be able to browse through the other parts via related vids. Lemme know your thoughts. How would you have done it? Would you risk everything for it? Was it a good system? Amused? |

Ingram deserved what he got. You shouldn't cheat on a game show. If I was going to cheat, though, I would just read the host's mind to get the answer. No one would ever know...luckily that's not possible. Yet. Edited by ninja_trainer, Nov 8 2011, 02:03 AM.

Same for me, very interesting. Thanks for an hour or 2 of entertainment ![]() Anyways, I think that was one of the worst plans ever. Not only was the cough obviouse, the way he was repeating the questions then going back on his dicision was also. If he's going to cheat, he needs to do it right to pull it off

Lemme know your thoughts. How would you have done it? Would you risk everything for it? Was it a good system? Amused? Better teammates. His wife was so awful and that other guy was just getting greedy. I would have got to 125k and ran. And Once i hear the first cough, i don't list all the answers, i trust the coughs. Ill just talk about the one that had the cough. It is a good system but they got greedy and that guy just HAD TO LIST THEM EVERY SINGLE QUESTION. Him being an Idiot amused me. |

Watched all of 'em and found it very entertaining. I would have had a few more codes and wouldn't have always use 'the cough' and they could have had used more people to it make it emphasized on one person. |

Saw this on Tv a while back and i thought 1.What an imbecile 2.why not just put put the clever guy in the hot seat? 3.How would i have done it? and i thought of one idea that is kinda plausible using coughing/sneezing. Well each body part is and answer for example Left Arm=A Right Arm=B Left Leg=C Right Leg=D Say the question was: Which of these letters is not a vowel: A. E B. I C. M D. A He would first itch, touch or make some gesture with the Left Arm indicating is it A. The person in the audience would be quiet. Same for B. Once again no noise But for C, Either Cough, Sneeze, go to the toilet and make some noises on the way out etc. and so on, i think this could work if you were very careful about how you make noises, another could be drinking something and burping after it/crunching the bottle. i doubt it would work but i think they monitor cheating very closely that it is almost impossible to cheat them |
