II. Overview
===============================================================================
   The game itself is pretty self-explanatory. You have 15 trivia questions
you must answer, and the prize value goes up with each question. The goal
of the game is to answer as many questions as possible and win as much
money as possible, simple, eh? The title screen shows Regis mouthing the
words "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" (no voice) and holding a hand of
bills. You can then choose how many players you want, and set the sound
options. Type in your name, and you will start the game. Here are the
prize values for each of the 15 questions:

15 - $1 MILLION  <-- Grand Prize
14 - $500,000
13 - $250,000
12 - $125,000
11 - $64,000
10 - $32,000  <-- Marker
 9 - $16,000
 8 - $8,000
 7 - $4,000
 6 - $2,000
 5 - $1,000  <-- Marker
 4 - $500
 3 - $300
 2 - $200
 1 - $100

   Every 5 questions is your "marker" meaning, if you get any of the next
5 questions wrong, you will walk away with at least that much money. Of
course, when you answer the 15th question correctly, you win the grand
prize of $1,000,000. If you answer a question incorrectly, you get Game
Over, and have to start again from Question #1. If you are stumped by
one of the questions, you have 3 lifelines to help you out. The "50/50"
lifeline, the "Phone a Friend" Lifeline, and a "Poll the Audience" 
lifeline. The "50/50" lifeline will eliminate 2 of the wrong answers,
leaving you with the correct answer and a wrong answer.

   The "Phone a Friend" lifeline will call a random friend, and will give
you that "friend's" opinion on what the answer is. Sometimes they may be
right, sometimes they may be wrong. The final lifeline is the "Poll the
Audience" lifeline (my personal favorite) which will Poll the studio
audience and get their votes for which answer they think is right. Most
of the time, they will be right, but there are times when they can be
wrong. You may only use each lifeline 1 time per game, and you can use
multiple lifelines on 1 question (if you wish.) Those are pretty much
the basics of the game, and that's all you should need to know.

===============================================================================
III. Answers
===============================================================================
   Below you will find the answers to (currently) most of the questions in
the game. To make life easier, I've listed them sort of chronologically,
from the lower valued questions to the higher valued questions, otherwise
they are in no specific order. To find a question quickly, use CTRL + F
on your keyboard to type in a keyword (Apple + F for Mac users.)
