Are you gameshow smart?

Lately my husband has been watching quiz shows on TV.  Sometimes I’d watch, too, while  washing the dishes.  I’d shout out my answers.  Most of the time they’re correct. And I would think to myself that if I could be on that show I could probably win a million. 

One night I couldn’t sleep so I played around with the computer and found myself checking out  the “Who wants to be a millionaire?” website. I signed up to get free tickets to the show. Even contemplated signing up for auditions to the show.  Chickened out. Instead I clicked on the button that said “Play Online” .  I played the game over and over, but couldn’t win anything beyond $1000. So that brought me down to reality. Now I know. I don’t have what it takes to win a million. For now.  I’ll keep polishing my skills and just maybe I might get more than a thousand next time. 

If you think you’re better than me, try your luck. Here’s the link:http://millionairetv.com/playonline.html

You need to brush up on your facts so here’s another terrific site  where you can practice http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/quiz/ . They have quizzes on all kinds of topics, plus the all-important  TOP TEN LIST  that they usually include in the shows. Be sure to look into the “Coffee Break” portion at the bottom of the page.
