Who do I talk to to get questions fixed?
Because they have quite a few of them on here.

I would like to know that to. Also if they can fix the 1 million $ question so that if I right

Constitution as my answer and they want

The Constitution

It gives me the right answer.

90% of the million $ questions I have got wrong is because I got the question right but gave it in the wrong tense or not 100% the way they wanted. For Example I answered with the right answer but included the mans middle initial and they did not want that even though it was the same person we were both talking about. Bam wrong answer.

Question: the smallest living organisms, or something like that. I put "Cells" as my answer and the correct answer was "Cell". I got pissed.
Thinking about joining the USMC...I hope I can take my 360 over seas with me.

Re: Incorrect questions
I agree. Several aspects of the game could be improved... Million dollar questions should take multiple kinds of input, or be flexible with spelling. Does it require a person's full name? How about "the"? Spell it any way other than what it wants perfectly and it seems like you'll lose.

Also, the ability to skip more cutscenes and play through the game quicker would be much appreciated, as well as an option to turn off that friggin' song! It's especially painful to listen to during mulitplayer game lobbies... Endless loop...

Also, for multiplayer, I'd like to see an option where the observing (not answering) players can take a guess at the other player's questions for a smaller amount of bonus money (and you could get money taken away for missed answers). It gives the other players an incentive to play only if they know the answer and get a small bonus, as well as making the other players be more interactive with the game rather than just watching the action.

Overall the game is still pretty enjoyable, even if some of the questions are trash.

Years ago there was a game called You Don't Know Jack (YDKJ) for the PC that would let you contest questions that were answered wrong due to a missing pluralization or word (Iriqois vs Iriquois Confederacy), etc..  Of course, you have to be honest about it, but if you want the $1 achievement that bad then go for it.

Its coming out for the Wii soon (as a disc game). I think it'd be great on XBLA, too. The online episodes at www.youdontknowjack.com have been excellent, and I think making it episodic on XBLA would be a nice revenue stream rather than just a $40 retail version.

Yeah exactly, there was a question about Rome and I answered Ceasar. I got it wrong because it wanted Julius Ceasar.

But there is a difference between "the constitution" and "constitution". The first refers to the founding document of the USA. The second however refers to something else. "I need to raise my constitution" for example is different then "I need to raise the constitution".
