“Millionaires”. The chemist failed on the question about… chemistry. “Friends are rolling with laughter”

As it turns out, “Millionaires” can also surprise experts in their own fields with their questions. Mrs. Renata, a chemist, found this out when she failed on a question in… chemistry.

“Millionaires” has already had a total of over 1,300 episodes in Poland. Most participants are eliminated around the question for the guaranteed PLN 40,000 – only a few manage to exceed this threshold. However, Renata Maszewska, a chemical analyst from Płock who has been playing recently, managed to cope with it. A question from her own field defeated her.

“Millionaires”. Who was born in Buda?

Mrs. Renata’s problems actually started with a question for PLN 40,000. It was necessary to use two lifelines for the history question:

Who was born in Buda, although it is not known exactly when?

  • A. Jadwiga of Anjou
  • B. Henryk Walezy
  • C. Władysław Warneńczyk
  • D. Stefan Batory

After long consideration, a phone call to a friend and consultations with the audience, Mrs. Renata correctly marked answer A – Jadwiga Anjou. She also coped with the question on maritime law. And then she came across an issue from “her” field.

“Millionaires”. A permanent elementary particle

For a layman, the question about a persistent elementary particle may sound like a return to the nightmare days of high school. However, it would seem that the chemical analyst would have no problems. And yet!

A stable elementary particle belonging to leptons and a rare alloy of gold and silver are:

  • A. proton
  • B. neutron
  • C. electron
  • D. atom

Of course I should know it and all my friends from college are now rolling around laughing in front of the TV because I don’t know – Mrs. Renata laughed.

And then she answered incorrectly – it wasn’t about a neutron, but about it electron. And this is how she finished the game for one million zlotys: she returned home with a guaranteed PLN 40,000, which is still a really decent sum.
