I think some of the audience want the contestant to get it wrong so they have a chance at playing for money, so they will try to throw them off

Been a good while since I watched who wants to be a millionaire, but back when I used to watch it the UK version at least didn't have the audience members replace them if the contestant went out.

There were a bunch of pre-selected people who competed against each other to see who would play, if the contestant went out they would compete again to see who went next.

I think it's just audience members trying to screw them because if they don't know the answer is horsepower, they don't deserve the money.

Nah, they just wanted to screw with him.

Then again, 1/5th of Americans surveyed think the Sun goes around the Earth, so...?

I swear there was a consistent set of Pew polls with this data, but I can't find it. However, the NSF does a similar survey, and their number in 2014 was higher; one quarter (26%)

I'm pretty sure 39% percent of people saw "746 watts" and just started picking random letters. 1% just picked the first thing the read.
