Who wants to be a millionaire question

[losenotloose]

Does the below question make sense to any of you?

Instead of highest it should say most. It’s badly written.

I saw it and struggled to understand the question. I wonder if it had to be explained but we didn't see that.

It was really badly worded

That's a clearer question.

(except no mentioning countries

I get it but took a few attempts to

The words.

Everything. All of it.

I’ve had coffee as well.

They didn't want to phone a friend as she and Jeremy felt it was a complex question for 30 seconds

Very clear question. Obvious answer.

Give over. It’s a ridiculously worded question and it’s not even the ‘common English name’ bit that’s confusing, it’s all of it.

Doesn't help and I would waste time cringing at the grammar.

Put the EU states into alphabetical order using their English name. What is the most common initial (or starting letter)

(Just like they do at the fastest finger first question)

Which letter starts the name of the majority of EU countries in their language.

What is the commonest starting letter of EU states, when you use their English spelling?

Or

What is the most common starting letter of EU states, when you use their English spelling?

‘Which letter starts’ sounds wrong to me.

sorry - in English not 'their language'

Their language?

Now that's a question.

Terribly worded but I understood what they meant

That is extremely ill-phrased. I don't watch this programme, is it designed to confuse?

Excellent way of phrasing it!

WWTBAM needs some new proof readers.

This!
I too read it at first as asking the letter of the NUMBER.

Badly worded.

Did she get it?

How much was it worth?

That's what I first thought

Which letter starts the common English name of the number......

Which got me.

I was thinking of the letters that could start a number. And it could be 'T' for Twenty something.

But of course T isn't an option.

Good thing she had plenty of time to think about it.

Her and Jeremy worked together. And discussed Liechtenstein in only the way Jeremy can. And I am sure some people know a bit about Liechtenstein. From Cabin Pressure

I understood it - and I think got it right. But agree it's very badly worded.

It was Dnow you are just purposely confusing us.

(I know you meant answer D as in S which is what I'd have said!)

I started off trying to think of a common English name like Anna then I saw the answers so had to reread it. It's a very badly worded question. Suggestions by PPs made more sense.

Makes sense for me.

You do have to say "common English name" rather than just "name in English" though because otherwise it would probably be R for "Republic of" or K for "Kingdom of" and Luxembourg begins with a G for Grand Duchy.
