College Week: "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" English Edition

The "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" English Edition game competition is an event in Asia Pacific College's College week. The game is similar to the U.S. Version which was hosted by Rehis Philbin and it was also adapted by the Philippines hosted by Christopher De Leon and Vic Sotto. In the original version, the contestants were asked 15 questions and with every right answer, the next question has twice the amount of value than the previous question. It is a blur whether the television game show has multiple contestants or just one, but according to many articles that the game show has teams and both teams battle it out to get to the Million dollar question.

The APC College week version is similar to the game show rules, but of course the school would not give out 1 Million pesos in cash. The College Week's version only measure the value of a question by points or pretend cash to represent points. The same rules apply, the value of each question goes higher as the game progresses. There are multiple teams in the first few rounds, all teams collect points as the game goes on and they get eliminated if they are the least earners of the round. The last team standing is also asked more questions to see if they could beat the game and win the grand prize. The hardest part of this is discussing which is the right answer. It is fairly difficult when there are two answers proposed to the team but both sides have a good statement. Nonetheless, it is a fun experience for the contestant as a team. Being in a team means the success of one is celebrated by many, but the failure of one is felt by all.





As to the results of the Who Wants to be a Millionaire? English Edition, they have played a good game, and showed outstanding knowledge.

By the end of the day, everybody may say that having even the most common knowledge about any topic is great for progress. Even as a spectator, trying to answer the questions was a challenge because it pushed one's mind to remember the discussions and lectures in class. Learning is never a bad thing, it is a gift bestowed by the those who knows well. So always thank the teachers and professors who have thought the young minds and who have molded their future into a brighter one.
