Is Who Wants to be a Millionaire just a game of luck? I mean, there's 33.34% chance of being right unless the person happen to know the answer, and lifelines can only get you so far into the game.
Let's say there are 15 questions with 4 choices each. Let's also say there are 3 lifelines: call-a-friend, 50-50, and ask-the-audience.
For each of the 15 questions, there is only 1 correct answer, and 3 incorrect answers, so immediately your chances are 1/3 = 33.34%. You can use each lifeline once. Using phone-a-friend, let's say gives you a 95% chance the person you call is correct. So 1 question is 95%. Similarly, we can say ask-the-audience gives you a 95% chance. Finally, 50-50 will remove 2 wrong answers, so you have 1 right answer and 1 wrong answer, so you basically know the answer. To recap:
I see where you're going with this but I'm not falling for it.

If you know the answer to a question, you have a 100% chance of getting the question right.
More valuable data would be how many Americans know the answer to the kinds of questions they ask on the show.

I remember when someone would go out on the first question I would go to school the next day and me and my mates would talk and laugh about how much of an idiot that person was all day
good times

>95% I know this OP is bait bought at a discount, but are your pals on the phone that reliable? Are there any rules about looking up the answer on your smartphone?

Dude who won and was so smug that he used a lifeline on his last question to call his dad to tell him that he's going to win.
Mason Flores
Oh, okay. Then that makes a bit more sense.
Good on him, I would've done the same.

To win the game entirely by guessing it would be a one in 4^15 chance of succeeding
