I’d like to ask an expert, and I have an expert in mind. @heywoodu thoughts?

 

this is my group lifeline, but there’s only one member of the group I care to hear from.

I think you can solve this too but if you insist, both can answer even though you really just need one of them.

Like Olympian said, the risk is the possiblity to always crash down to the lower milestone. Some countries like Germany, Austria or Russia have that playstyle.

 

In Germany, a man was recently asked a question for €750,000 (gambler special with more prize money, usually €500,000, 14th question) incorrectly and lost €249,000 of the €250,000 he had at that point.

I had somehow read it completely wrong and thought you would get 32k no matter what  

 

Which I had 1) already forgotten by the time I started playing and 2) was not the reason for my choosing it, since I wanted to play it harder and have fewer life lines

I’d rather have that 1,000 guaranteed than have nothing at this point. I’ve already been made fool, so let’s salvage the remaining self respect I have.

Alright, then @heywoodu may help you out here.

still waiting for the question in which sport Thomas Bach was once a Olympic champion

[heywoodu 15,144]

Right, 'i' is valid for 'you'...in English.

 

You might say 'e' (pronounced 'ey') to get someone's attention, preferably a friend, but it's definitely not 'you'. The more formal way of saying 'you' in Dutch, for example to older people you don't know, is answer D, 'u'.

 

Not relevent for the question, but possibly interesting: it varies per person. My one grandma insisted we wouldn't call her 'u' and only used the informal word ('je/jou'), whereas my other grandma prefers 'u'.

Well, that’s not correct so thankfully this isn’t a test of your English knowledge.

 

I trust your Dutch though, and appreciate the story.

 

I’ll go with D. u @Quasit
