Khaled El-Katateny won $100,000 top prize (because two contestants answered their questions wrong and walked away). After that, he told the media that he answered the questions correctly by watching the body language and facial expressions of Eddie McGuire as he read out the choices, and of the studio audience behind him, for the choices that made their faces light up. Khaled kept his winnings, as it wasn't against the rules.
