Earlier this month there was a huge debate on this forum about an error KTN had made on their interactive game show. The issue was with the simple arithmetic – 11 x 2 + 32 – 21 + 5 x 3 + 5 x 1 The answer that won cash was 120, which off course was WAY off.
Well, yesterday KBC ran something similar on their show.
23 – 12 x 5 + 112 – 20 + 3 x 8 + 12
The choices were -125, -170 and 250
I took screen shots:
The Question (click for larger)
The answer that won Kshs.50,000 was 250
So how did they arrive at 250? Here’s their calculation:
The Fraudulent answer (click for larger)
If you look at the pictures closely, KBC actually changed the question and then awarded 50,000/- to….”the winner”. Theft in broad daylight!
What are your thoughts on this? Where can a complaint be made?
Update
Even the fraudulent answer does NOT add up to 250!!!!
hahahahaha!!
Thats pure fuckery, answer should be 91. They should be taken off air all together or go back to primary mathematics. Ignorant
This is why you just shouldn’t gamble. The House must win. Always.
