Correct.

 

 

How many words in the first verse of the British national anthem were changed when it switched from “God Save The Queen” to “God Save The King”?

God save our gracious King!

Long live our noble King!

God save the King!

Send him victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us,

God save the King.

Maybe like the Yanks, we've modified English a bit. I only post the questions as asked in the UK program. Just like Spacey's query regarding the next question. His answer of "Of" is correct.

Quote wrong, answer correct.

 

G+8   R+0    A+0   P-2    E+2   S-14

G + 8 letters = O

R + 0             = R

A + 0             = A

P - 2              = N

E + 2              = G

S - 14             = E

 

What letter completes this sequence?

S  M  H  D  W  M  ?

Correct, Pete.      Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weeks, Months, Years.

 

That was the final, 1% question. Only two contestants remained to take that question. They had the choice of taking 5,000 pounds each, or risking it to share the 96,000 pound prize pot, or leave with nothing. The guy took the five grand, the girl risked it. Then they showed the question, and she got the answer, so went home 96 grand richer.
