“Millionaires”. A programmer from Krakow had a problem with the first question. It was about Tuwim’s poem

In the 641st episode of “Millionaires”, Mr. Mateusz – a programmer from Krakow – had a problem with a question for 500 zlotys.

Mateusz Szczepara sat in the armchair opposite Hubert Urbañski in quite a good mood, but he probably did not expect that he would have difficulty finding the correct answer to the first question. This is evidenced by his own words: The curse of the first question has seized me, it is so simple that I do not know the answer to it.

The participant forgot the answer to the question about memory problems from Julian Tuwim’s poem

The question the man heard was: What remedy for memory problems was prescribed to “Elephant Trąbalski” by the blacksmith from Julian Tuwim’s poem? The four possible answer options are: “A. Shoe the front legs”, “B. Pierce the ears”, “C. Knot on the trunk” and “D. Bow on the tail”. The programmer had to use the lifeline.

Fortunately, when Szczepara asked the audience for help, most had no doubt which answer was correct. Thanks to them, the player decided to mark the answer “C” and after a while he could be happy that he went to the next round. After this question, however, a gong sounded, indicating the passage of time and informing that the game would not resume until the next episode of “Millionaires”. Episodes can be watched from Monday to Thursday at 20:55 on TVN.

“Millionaires”. What is the fragment of Tuwim’s poem they asked about in the program?

“Trąbalski Elephant” is a poem by Julian Tuwim about the forgetful elephant Tomasz Trąbalski. Wandering around the city, he ends up at a blacksmith who wants to shoe him first. Then he examines him, blows his bellows, looks into his throat and ear, taps him with a sledgehammer and gives him advice:

And he says: ‘I already know, Mr. Trąbalski!

A bucket of water per head every day

And make a knot on the trunk.
