The Contestant of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” This Time is a 61-Year-Old Teacher, Former Math Instructor at Binh Minh Secondary School, Hai Duong
Notably, throughout his teaching career, he has not only been a dedicated teacher but also an inspiring figure for both his profession and students. With deep knowledge and a passion for educational programs, he has gained recognition and has participated in “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
With the support he received, the esteemed teacher excellently answered the first 13 questions. At the 14th question, the contestant had a strategy that was somewhat intuitive but decided to end the game because he wasn’t completely sure. The teacher ended up with a prize of 80 million VND.
Before a Remarkable Contestant, the MC and the Production Team of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” Set the Scene for Teacher Long to Potentially Answer the 15th Question.
This is the first time someone has answered the 15th question in a high-stakes situation. This decision by the production team not only aims to honor Mr. Long’s outstanding performance but also to provide viewers with a deeply emotional and engaging experience.
Throughout 19 years of broadcasting, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” has never had a contestant successfully answer the final question. Before Mr. Pham Cao Long, two other contestants had also reached the 15th question but failed to surpass it: engineer Le Anh (2008) and Tran Dong Dang Khoa (2021). Mr. Pham Cao Long is the third contestant to face the content of the final question, albeit in a high-stakes situation. This achievement further highlights Mr. Long’s status.
At the 15th question, Mr. Long hesitated because he did not have enough information related to the question. He chose an answer based on “his favorite number.” This was not the response of the program itself.
The performance of Teacher Pham Cao Long not only left a strong impression on the audience but also caught the production team off guard. BTV Diep Chi, the program’s representative, also shared her emotions on her personal page: “It’s been a long time since we have felt this emotional connection.”
The achievements of Teacher Pham Cao Long serve as a significant source of inspiration for many. His analytical thinking, strong reasoning ability, and relentless spirit of learning are valuable lessons for every generation.
