What is the English name of the main character of the well-known 'Milli Molli' children's books series? 'Ask the Audience', '50:50' and 'Phone-a Friend' lifelines used
Timo knew the first 12 questions without using any lifelines. However, Timo did not have a clue in the 13th question, so at first he used Ask the Audience, which proved unhelpful, then the 50:50 and finally he phoned his friend Mirja. Mirja had never heard of Milli Molli. Timo decided to walk away with 250,000 marks. The correct answer was D: Milly-Molly-Mandy. Voittosumma: 250 000 mk
