35mins of that game and they didnt allow any calls..... just not fair.

I take it she did not admit it was unsolvable?

billy the squid

jaysus, we were stuck in that moment for a long time.

people just slowed down calling (is my guess) ....so when there wasnt a constant flow of "possible contestants" they up the money or move on.

DarkJager

Nobodys going to call you! Move on

PCPhoto

on a seperate note ...... does anyone actually know of anyone that has gotten through to the show ?

how high was their phone bill ?

billy the squid

From one of those ask a question websites

A moment is actually a medieval unit of time equal to 1/40 hour or 1.5 minutes or 90 seconds. Of course now it means a short period of time.

No idea tbh, I did try a few times one night and gave up.

PCPhoto

and I quote "there is NO problem getting into the studio , we've already had quite a number of winners"


but no call in over 40mins

billy the squid

the zero is gone, here comes the call

how much money did you give them (5 calls = €7.50)

Our man in Havana

Draw your own conclusions from that.

billy the squid

told you they would make it "simpler"

Our man in Havana

PCPhoto wrote: »

Yep around €7 or €8.

PCPhoto

we've been promised/threatened to move on for 15mins....its too hard.

really know how to push people into calling.... they'll get someone on the line soon - the time is running out !!! ...oooh .... seriously - I think I'll put my money into blackjack :P (and loose)

she's had enough of this game.... just move on then...feck sake

PCPhoto

just wondering about the "second chance" thingy ...... how can they have your name if you dont get into the show.

she keeps saying for the second chance thingy - that even if you dont get through to the show your name will go into a draw to give out a free €100.

Money up again.... honestly - we finished the game, no-one can find the "open" line. (i think they stopped saying that - legally it probably opened them up to someone claiming that if all their phone lines are busy then someone must get the "open" line and people would get through to the studio more often)


another ...moment thingy.... honestly !!!

Our man in Havana

That is how it makes money, make the punters think the game is ending so they call.

I would assume they call you back?

Dan Chipowski

Another 10 'moments'....feel like putting my foot through the screen, God help the people who ring in to these things.

billy the squid

Another ten moments

DarkJager

If RL seconds lasted this long, I'd throw myself off a height

billy the squid

only the people who get through to the studio get a "second chance"

found this on the website on the presenter profile

JG Murphy, from Dublin in Ireland

How thick do they think Irish people are?

reverse charges

Our man in Havana

I don't think this is transmitted from Ireland for legal reasons.

billy the squid

Time since puzzle solved - 52 minutes.

DarkJager

Has this show reached the end of its life? I genuinely think so

billy the squid

Think I know how the bee in D4 feels.

PCPhoto

its been on almost an hour .... think of the money they have taken in !!!

even if they got a handful of calls per minute (50) (see my earlier example)... thats 50x1.50x60 =€4500

realistically i think they have more than 5 phone lines....a lot more

Transmitting from abroad would also aid in avoiding presenters running into disgruntled punters on O'Connell Street.

definately agree there....and also tax purposes and cheaper labour costs.


I'm just gonna goto bed - cant be bothered waiting for the next puzzle (taking toooooooo long)

nite everyone

amacachi

Does anyone know if this is under investigation or if it's been given the all clear?

billy the squid

100 would be a more realistic figure.

Still under investigation, I can't discuss the ins and outs here.

billy the squid

more bloody moments.

DarkJager

Someone should tell her the clock is at zero.

Dan Chipowski

Well done Jim lol

Every one rings with caller id.

They then have the number of every caller. They pick a random winner and call him on the same number and then ask his name. Seems straight forward to me. Does not mean you have to get through to the studio!
Can't believe I'm actually defending them here.
