Hmmm... can I phone a friend? ;-) OK, to clear this one up before it gets out of hand: The ITV network in the UK made a game show called "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", hosted by Chris Tarrant, which was massively successful. For info on how it works, see: http://www.whowantstobeamillionaire.co.uk The US network ABC bought up the format - they haven't changed a thing except the host - and now it's big there too, to the extent that many Americans think (wrongly) that it originated in the US. The British version has the larger top prize (UKP 1 million = USD 1.6 million), but no-one has yet won over UKP500,000 (USD 800,000). The US top prize of USD 1 million (UKP 625,000) *has* gone more than once, which has led to criticism from the show's (British) insurers that the questions for the US version are too easy!

Ah, we have that in Holland too, since not too long. Called in proper Dutch: Weekend Millionaires. Questions are pretty hard, I don't know them all by heart. Although I usually know a little more than the contenders :-) I guess David Letterman makes quite a few references to this Regis-guy?

How can I calculate my average mph in a race. I think I have seen the formula somewhere around here but, haven't been able to find it again. thanks in advance -- the friendly pysco -I know it's spelled wrong but I'm not a psycho ;-) -Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?

I'm at a loss for words - I'd like to think that your question is deeper than it seems. Since you didn't say what game you're trying to calculate this for, I'm not sure what the problem is. Your average mph is simply the total distance of the race (in miles) divided by your total race time (in hours). I could elaborate and describe how to total race length by multiplying the number of laps by the length of an individual lap, and so on, but I don't want to insult your intelligence more than I already have. And yes, Regis.... this is my final answer.

Thanks for the info. My personal vote for current "Best British TV Show Stolen by Americans" goes to "Who's Line Is It Anyway?". Great show! The original series is also being shown on the Comedy Channel, and is quite good. I had no idea that Ryan Stiles and Colin Mokrey (sp?) appeared on the original one as well. And if "friendly pysco" (sic) reads this, I should have inserted happy faces and grins and all that in my first post. I wasn't trying to be rude, but I'm guessing that whatever sim you're asking about has some unusual information or units displayed which prevents an easy answer to your question. More detail would help, unless it IS really a question about basic unit conversions.

SNIPPAGE...... I wonder if anybody outside of the USA understands this reference? :-)

There was a documentary on this subject just a week or two ago. During the sixties and early seventies the US Game shows where on during Prime time. Then one show was found to be "fixed". Once that was found out, all the game shows lost their credibility and ended up going from Prime time to early afternoon. Just with in the last year these game shows started to hit prime time again. The early years had questions that very few could answer and the people in charge new that in order to get the game shows to be succesfull and credible, they had to ask simple enough questions that anyone could answer. That way it couldn't be said that the shows were fixed and that way the people at home could (in a matter of speaking) play along. The idea of copying game shows from other countries is not new as there were copies during the fifties and sixties. The only differences between now and then is that the people in charge believe that the people of today are dumb and couldn't answer most, if not all, of the questions asked way back when. So, in a matter of speaking, and in my opinion, the game shows of today are fixed because the questions are way too easy. In any case, this subject is a bit off topic. Q: The driver who won the 1999 GPML F3 season ran most of the races in one marquee. That marquee was later decided to be banned from competition. This Marquee known as a Brabham is also known as what? Hint: the name starts with a "R".

Joe Moron. He has an attention span of at most a few weeks. If by that time, he hasn't won (or completed a lap without spinning :-) or earned 2 bonus cars, he loses interest. After all, Fifa 2001 then comes out, as well as unreal3, and many more. And the less the attention span is, the more games you can sell. And the less time you need to develop it (lower costs). This is very unfortunate. I won't be surprised if we will still be playing GPL 2 years from now (look at how long GP2 lasts, by lack of a decent heir).

I'll take a guess and mention the Education system of today compared to yesterday. What are the kids taught today? 1+1=5.. The answer is wrong but they tried so they get an "A". Or, 1+1= what?

The kid ain't going to try to learn a hard game because it's just that, too hard, He'll get an A if he doesn't try though. So, the easier a game is, the easier a kid can excel, and who wants a dumb kid? Just my take on it and again goes off topic a bit on in to politics.

Wouldn't that be your highest and lowest speed in the race divided by 2?

No... think about it. If you drove for 1 second at 200 mph and then 1 hour at a standstill your method would give you an answer of 100mph average. And then if you did it the other way round - 1 second at a standstill and 1 hour at 200mph - your method would *still* give 100mph. The correct method is total distance divided by total time. regards -- http://ianhill.tripod.com Please visit www.thehungersite.com today!

To bring it on topic, simplifying shows isn't the only thing what is happening lately. The same is going on with hardcore simulations. They're doing that because simple games are selling better. I know, this is discussed here many times, but I wonder why this is happening. Can anyone tell me if there has been some research on this topic? Who is the "average public" anyway? Remco

I figured that out pretty quick and should have taken more than 2 seconds to think about it before I made a fool of myself. Oh well. I'll just go hang my head in shame for a while. FYI I was just wondering about Viper Racing and was curious about how fast my average miles per hour is. I working on my career mode and am finally in GT. I had forgotten how much fun this game is.

Definitely right-on, Asgeir. The marque is 'Brabham', the 'BT' designation was from the last inititials of Brabham and Tauranac. Why it was dubbed the "Repco Brabham" and not the other way around only the motoringmedia of the day could explain. There was certainly no requirement to do so by the Repco company. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- asgeir nes�en <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Michael Barlow wrote: > > > Q: The driver who won the 1999 GPML F3 season ran most of the races in > > one marquee.

Erm, to clear this up even more. :) They weren't allowed to change anything by ITV. They HAD to keep the same format, same set, same lighting and same music. I think you'll find each country's version is indistinguishable from the others. Though, as well as the presenter, I think the questions and the contestants were allowed to be altered. :) -- Peter Ives - (AKA Ivington) No person's opinions can be said to be more correct than another's, because each is the sole judge of his or her own experience.

Tim. not sure whether Jan will answer you. He tends so come and go in RAS as the mood takes him. Although I'm based in England, Jan and I are pretty good mates and regular enemies on track. Greg Renner - AKA Stirling, lives just a few miles from Jan and the three of us regularly do testing during the week as well as run in the GPVL league most weekends. We have been racing online together from day 1, even before VROC was around. Greg is connected via TVD and both are on cable. Over the last couple of years, Jan has regularly had the better connection in terms of pings, warpage us less of an issue with him and has suffered far fewer discos over time. Based on this I would say that Pandora seems to be a pretty good bet. MS

lol. Did you ever see the Williams 6 wheeler? MS "David Shield" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:89jvav$e17$[email hidden]...

I replied via E-mail. It's a lot easier to discuss such matters in our mutual native language. For the record, I am very pleased with my provider except for the security aspect, which requires me to run a personal firewall (they claim they can't stop it without stopping me from online ***). A small price to pay for good connections nearly everywhere. Of course connections to backwater parts of the internet are questionable and stuff hosted on crappy servers/connections is just as slow on cable as it is on dial-up, but on the whole, without even mentioning the major advantage of it being a flat fee service (1 monthly payment for unlimited onlinetime <g>), it's absolute the dog's private parts. I may be on RAS to stay, not a lot of whining going on and they finally told me what *plonk* means!! ;-) Jan. ----
