I don't know the surname of Jyrki, but his first name is mentioned in that clip.

I'm almost positive Jyrki's episode was aired in 2000. The 2001 spring season had only two episodes (February 4 and 11) before the Australian February 12 one. The February 4 episode was a celebrity special, so it's not that, since Jyrki was a civilian contestant. Also, it is very unprobable Jyrki was in the February 11 episode, because it was aired just one day before the Australian February 12 episode.

IF we presume Jyrki didn't answer incorrectly, Jyrki's episode was not aired in 1999, because Anne Saari (250,000 mk on April 23, 2000) was the biggest winner so far at the time (I have the April 23 episode in my collection. The fact was mentioned in it).

I've read a lot of old Finnish forum discussions about the Finnish version, and I've heard the biggest mk winner left with 350,000 mk (but his/her name is never mentioned), and Markku Rikola was the biggest € winner. The biggest mk winner could be Jyrki, but I don't know for sure.
