For what does the L stand in the abbreviation LPG? Ask the Audience lifeline used.
After a few seconds thinking, he confused between answers C and D, so he took another few seconds to think about it. After that, he decided to Ask the Audience, and decided to go with the 59% majority of the audience that said D: Liquid, although he still wasn't 100% sure. Unfortunately, on this question, the audience didn't help him, as only 30% of the audience answered this question correctly, as the correct answer was actually C: Liquefied. Richard wasted his two remaining lifelines and walked away with nothing.
