On August 9, Regis Philbin and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? return to prime-time on ABC for a special two-week run. To celebrate, here are twelve million-dollar questions from past episodes. We can’t offer you any lifelines, and if you get them all right, we’re not going to pay you the $13,040,000 (or the 20,000,000 rupees) that these 12 contestants earned. But you have our permission to daydream about what you’d buy with that money for the rest of the afternoon.

Now it is clear to me why I have never gone on this or any other game show. I am not nearly as intelligent as I think I am!
