<p>Copied from tooltip above: The case here is when, in a special episode (usually a celebrity special), the klaxon plays in the middle of a run, and the run will not continue (usually due to the next episode). Examples: Anitra Ahtola, https://youtu.be/iFR4VZJ3MUc?t=141, etc. This case does not include unaired unknown continuations (e.g. Barbara Mayhall Hunter) or contestants not returning despite being promised to return (e.g. Zoran Popovich). </p>

<p>I agree. I also think that full episode video links can be placed on the episode pages. </p>

<p>There are several examples on this page of this wiki. According to that page: </p>

If a bad question was walked away from or answered incorrectly, the contestant can object the answer to the production team right after the run or after going home, and they decide whether to give the contestant a second chance. The contestant would usually either resume at the bad question's level with the originally used lifelines reinstated or resume on the next level as if the question was answered correctly.
- It is claimed that Patrick Hugh, who used two lifelines to provide a correct answer to a question that had a misspelling, was instead given the option to "<i>receive whatever money they should have won had they answered the bad question correctly, or the option to return to the game and redo the faulty question</i>", choosing the latter.
- Ed Toutant provided the actual correct answer to his original ninth question, but it wasn't the accepted correct answer. After informing the production team about this, he was given a second chance, resuming on the same level (and having the lifeline that he used reinstated). He ended up winning the progressive jackpot top prize that he was playing for in his original appearance: $1,860,000.
If a bad question was answered correctly, the production team would, in most cases, just allow the game to proceed as normal.
- Doug Van Gundy knew that his first question had more than one possible correct answer and decided to use a lifeline to determine which one was the best answer. He answered the question correctly. At the end of the episode, the production team acknowledged that the question indeed had more than one answer; to compensate for this, the lifeline used on the first question was restored.
- Tony Kennedy provided the accepted answer on his eleventh question, but it turned out that the accepted answer wasn't the correct one; to add to the complications, the correct answer was indeed given as one of the choices. The production team allowed Tony to keep his winnings.
"<i>The production team has been lately warning contestants that if an ambiguous question were to appear, they should choose the best answer.</i>"
- Rick Rosner incorrectly answered a question about the most elevated capital city that didn't have the correct answer as one of the choices. However, the contestant was still considered incorrect by the production team since the accepted answer to the question was the most elevated capital city <i>among the choices</i>. He never got a second chance on the show.
- Tim Shields had two bad questions in a single game, originally incorrectly answering his ninth question and providing the acceptable correct answer to his thirteenth question which had two possible correct answers. He won $500,000 on that run whose second chance part was not aired.

Should there be individual pages for each episode of a ''Millionaire'' version?

Question from BOOM! (Philippines)

<p>BOOM! is a game show by <i>Keshet International</i>. The objective of <i>BOOM!</i> is to find all the right answers and cut the respective wires of a "bomb". In the Philippine stripped-down version on <i>Eat Bulaga!</i>, there are three "bombs": questions with four correct answers out of five, six, and seven choices, respectively. Three team members deal with one "bomb" each. Each "wire" must be cut in 15 seconds. </p><p>In today's episode, the first bomb involved finding song titles, while the second one involved identifying the four siblings among six people. They had success in the first bomb but not the second (all four siblings had names that start with "Jo" and had the same dish served on their birthdays). </p><p>The third bomb was about "10-Year Challenge". While not directly related to <i>Millionaire</i>, with this "bomb" having four correct choices out of seven, once three correct choices were answered, four choices remain, with one of these correct. </p><p>The contestant has indeed cut three correct answers, all related to the Philippine community (devastation of Typhoon Ketsana, 30th anniversary of Eat Bulaga, and Corazon Aquino's death). This leaves them in a situation that is basically equivalent to answering this question without any lifelines (after some thought before the timer starts): </p> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" style="width: 525px;"><tr style="text-align: center; background-color: #0000A0;"><td colspan="2" style="color: white;"> Question on <i>BOOM!</i> (10-Year Challenge) ― ₱120,000 (0:15 time limit) </td></tr><tr style="text-align: center; background-color: #000000;"><td colspan="2"><font color="white">Which of these things happened in the year 2009?</font> </td></tr><tr style="text-align: left; background-color: #000000;"><td style="width: 50%;"><font color="#FFA500">• A:</font> <font color="white">First Twitter tweet was published</font> </td><td style="width: 50%; background-color: #FFA500;"><font color="black">• B:</font> <font color="black">Prince William and Kate's wedding</font> </td></tr><tr style="text-align: left; background-color: #000000;"><td style="width: 50%;"><font color="#FFA500">• C:</font> <font color="white">First Instagram photo was posted</font> </td><td style="width: 50%; background-color: green;"><font color="#FFA500">• D:</font> <font color="white">Facebook added the "Like" button</font> </td></tr><tr style="text-align: center; background-color: #000000; line-height: 1.25"><td colspan="2"> <font color="white"><small>Contestants leave with ₱40,000</small></font> </td></tr><tr style="text-align: center; line-height: 1.25"><td colspan="2"> <i><small>They already had ₱40,000, so they are playing for an extra ₱80,000 (around $1,500).</small></i> </td></tr></table><table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2" style="width: 525px;"><tr><td></td></tr></table><p><i><small>Although no one else replied here before the answer was revealed, I will not delete this as of the moment so that the Fun and Games board does not become empty again.</small></i> </p>
