Caught my first "Million Dollar Money Drop" game show tonight and for 1 pair of participants, their 1st question was:
"Which of these was written by a man?"
1) Joy Luck Club
2) Pride and Prejudice
3) Frankenstein
4) The Jungle Book
I thought it was a big giveaway as most of my household and possibly a no. of my friends would know that too. I knew the answer straightaway - Jungle Book which was written by Rudyard Kipling.
Anyway, the 1st, Joy Luck Club, confirm woman write one, although I don't know who (at least they knew the obvious). No. 2 was by Jane Austen. How could they not know who wrote this classic? If they have not read it, there had been TV shows and films based on it. No. 3 was by Mary Shelley.
Half a million dollars gone down the chute (literally) just like that; they placed $450K on Frankenstein (well, maybe they thought it was horror, so might be man) and I think $100K on Pride and Prejudice.
But the other 2 questions were not as easy though, where they lost the rest of the money.
