Wow, finally a new scam. What fun. Smile

I love the delicious irony of getting an invitation to a "game of intelligence" written by someone who apparently dropped out of school in kindergarten.

When was the last time this show aired from Nigeria?

I wonder who the host is? Goodluck?

Perhaps the lad can be persuaded to send a few test questions for me to answer. Just so check if i am know my stuff. Lets face it, who wanna be on tv and humiliate yourself and show your ignorance to the world.

I got this email.

The thought of Aussie host Eddie Maguire being sent to Nigeria to host there is just too delicious.

The only difference with this lad version of the game being, when you get a question right, the amount of money is what you have to pay them to go to the next level. Not what you have won.

In the event you go all the way to the top. The winning one million dolla cheque you are handed is bound to be made out for four million USD for some strange reason?? Laughing

I pick Baristerr Williams as my life line. I will probably need to poll the Internet cafe at some point too.

^^^ As in Barrister Peter Williams?

Ole Petey has re-invented himself and has started the Jailbait Bait all over again.

Brilliant idea. Smile

So I asked him for a few questions....

subject Re: Questions

(1)what is the name of the president of slovakia republic?

(2) who is the ambassador of Canada?

(3) Who was the formal captain of France?

Damn, but this show will be a tough challenge. Laughing

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:03 am

^^ Isn't he supposed to give you 4 options for each question? Rolling Eyes

Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 9:58 am

Hmm a bit of input on his questions.

The first one is Ivan Gašparovič, but in all fairness i had to google it. Who knows that outside Slovakia, ok probably a few but it is a tough one.

The second one is another matter. I have to give me retort as a question to him. In which country? Canada is bound to have quite a few ambassadors in the world.

The third one is similar to the second question. My spontaneous answer would be Didier Deschamps who took France to it's first gold in the Football World Cup in 1998. But then again, the question doesn't specify which year or sport so we can only speculate on the right answer. It might not even be a sport at all. Perhaps he meant Philippe Leclerc who had the grade of Captain when WWII broke out.

My point being is that your lad is retarded, and you should point this out to him.

Who is the captain of France? ... is he totally lame?

Can you not just send him the completely incorrect answers and see what his response is:)

Who is the ambassador of Canada? erm ... Celine Dion?

No ... don't educate him Rolling Eyes

I haven't replied yet, but I'm thinking along the lines of:

1) Ivan Slobalotovitch
2) Ferrero Rocher
3) Valéry Giscard d'Estaing

Very Happy

I hope there's no lower age limit. I'm only 10.

Yes I distinctly remember those answers because I was enslaved in a Ferrero Rocher factory by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing who wanted to blind me so I would make better chocolates and therefore earn him more money.
Then there was the time I fell in a pit of *poop* because I wanted Ivan Slobalotovitch 's autograph.

Confused

.. or am I just ripping off Slumdog .. we'll never know ..
