She was so hot for the “shit million” and then everything went wrong for Anke Engelke. Germany’s comedy queen crashed to 500 euros. Colleague Ilka Bessin, TV celebrity chef Horst Lichter and actor Hennig Baum took less risks and earned 221,000 euros for the good cause.
actor Henning Baum opened the gamble of gamers. At first, he seemed a bit unmotivated, but it might even hide his nervousness. The mime who became known through the series “With Heart and Handcuffs” did an excellent job. Günther Jauch asked him the following question for 32,000 euros:
Who sometimes uses a urinal valve and condom when practicing their sport?
- A: Triathletes
- B: diver
- C: Formula 1 drivers
- D: Free climber
Baum tapped the Formula 1 drivers, but had the number chosen by Formula 1 reporter Florian König. The RTL man, however, thought the divers were the right answer, which Baum finally had to log in. “Formula One drivers actually let it go in an emergency,” explained Günther Jauch. The moderator continued: “When urinating, the urine is passed through the urinal condom through a hose and through the valve into the water.” Answer B was actually correct.
A jack of all trades unsettles the colleagues
Baum also had exciting stories to tell on Monday evening. He reported about a leopard, whom he came very close to in Africa, his time as a paramedic and a calf, which he once gave birth to. The other celebrities then feared that they would not be able to top the adventurer’s stories afterwards and that the audience would get bored. Jauch then read this question to the jack of all trades for 500,000 euros:
Where can you often find the so-called Dortmund mixture?
- A: refrigerators
- B: swimming pool
- C: Beer kegs
- D: nose drops
Baum tapped the beer kegs, but preferred to take the 125,000 euros with him. “It is now unnecessary to play poker here,” he said. The actor donates his profit to the “Menschenmossiblees” association, which supports the seriously ill without hope of a cure.
Lights and manure completely on the ground
After that was TV chef Horst lights your turn. Günther Jauch confronted him with this question for 15,000 euros:
At which of these times do the hour and minute hands form a 45 degree angle?
- A: 3:15 p.m.
- B: 4:30 p.m.
- C: 5:45 p.m.
- D: 7:00 p.m.
“I’m guessing 4:30 p.m.,” Lights said. He also took advice from his companion, a master watchmaker. He confidently suggested Answer C, which now made Jauch intervene. The moderator and lights now tried to show the four times with their bodies as pointers, and rolled around on the floor. Later, however, Lichter was smarter, logged in the correct answer B and thereby punished his watchmaker friend.
Celebrity chef calls Jenke von Wilmsdorff
Similar to Freund Baum, the celebrity chef gradually worked his way into higher spheres of money. His question for 125,000 euros:
From which capital city can you see the highest mountain in the country with a clear view?
- A: Washington, DC
- B: Tokyo
- C: Brasilia
- D: Vienna
“I would think that is Tokyo“But I don’t know,” Lights sighed. He called Jenke von Wilmsdorff. “I would rule out Tokyo. I would say Brasilia, “said the well-known television journalist. Lichter, however, had little desire to take risks and threw in the towel. His 64,000 euros go primarily to the” Lichterzellen Foundation “, which is committed to researching rare diseases. The correct answer would have been Tokyo, from where you can see Mount Fuji on some days.
Ilka Bessin relies on “public joker” Oliver Pocher
Comedian Ilka Bessin was next. She was accompanied by Oliver Pocher, who was the first celebrity to win the million in 2008. After a few minutes, Bessin’s arithmetic skills were required:
Is a 100 euro jeans discounted 25% four times in a row, does it cost …?
- A: nothing more
- B: exactly 25 euros
- C: a good 30 euros
- D: almost 50 euros
What made it difficult was that the comedian didn’t really know what 25 percent out of 100 was, so any further calculations made little sense. The task was therefore dedicated Pocher and lights. Thanks to the formidable teamwork of the two men, Bessin got into the next round.
When it comes to sex, Cindy from Marzahn gets shy
You don’t have to know that bonobos are considered to be hippies among the monkeys because of their preference for sex with a changing partner. It came as a surprise that Bessin, who didn’t fall for her mouth, didn’t want to deepen the subject of “monkey sex” with Jauch or one of her telephone jokers. “I don’t dare to talk to you about it. You are so older,” said the entertainer to the moderator, who later asked this question for 64,000 euros:
What kind of pot is actually meant in the phrase “come to pot”?
- A: Paint pot
- B: chamber pot
- C: saucepan
- D: flowerpot
Bessin, whose telephone joker was also overwhelmed, decided on the money. “I don’t want to hit 500,” said the comedian. Your 32,000 euros will go to the Berlin association “Straßenkinder e. V.”. The correct answer would have been the chamber pot.
Anke Engelke is keen on the “shit million”
“I will be back until I have won this shit million,” said Anke Engelke, who was visiting Jauch for the seventh time, at her last appearance. The comedy queen looked tense, but was focused. So focused that after about half an hour she heard this 64,000 euro question:
The American Simone Biles won 19x World Cup and 4x Olympic gold despite or because of what physical peculiarity?
- A: resting heart rate: 20
- B: IQ: 160
- C: size 1.42 m
- D: Weight: 195 kg
Engelke considered for a long time and knew at least that Bile was a gymnast. “I think it’s C,” said her companion in the stands, which Engelke had to help out. Engelke listened to her friend and hit the bull’s eye. Jauch then wanted to know this from the comedian for 125,000 euros:
What can’t go beyond XFD1048576?
- A: our solar system
- B: Excel spreadsheet
- C: the number Pi
- D: Intelligence of a human
“It’s either the solar system or the Excel spreadsheet,” noted Germany funniest woman. She hoped for Leon Windscheid’s intellectual armor. “I would say solar system because I tend to exclude Excel spreadsheet and completely exclude the other two solutions,” said the millionaire. Engelke shot the phone joker, which contradicted Windscheid and preferred the Excel spreadsheet as the correct answer. Engelke thought again for a long time, when she suddenly surprised with a “Come, I’m doing the solar system” and had Answer C logged in.
Brutal crash and announcement of comeback
Jauch, who did not know the answer himself, got serious, but then made it short: “The correct answer is the Excel spreadsheet,” he clarified.
Engelke, who crashed to 500 euros, was shocked for a moment. “I would just have to come back again,” she quipped soon afterwards. Your 500 euros will go to the “action medeor” association, which is committed to human health worldwide.
The former “Cindy aus Marzahn” danced like a “rain barrel” for many people on the RTL show “Let’s Dance”. That was one of the comments on the net. Nevertheless, the 48-year-old made it to the quarter-finals. “I wish the children of these people would read this and ask: ‘Mom and Dad, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?'” (Teaser picture: picture alliance / Stefan Gregorowius) © RTL Television
