After 325 programs in the afternoons of Telecinco 50×15 (50 million pesetas), that is, who wants to be a millionaire , on September 21, 2000, he handed out his maximum prize, a record endowment at the time, surpassing the largest showcase that ten years before he had given The fair price on TVE. The intervention of Enrique Chicote from Barcelona is the history of television in Spain.
He got the prize with ease in the escalation of questions and in the last question he allowed himself to get rid of two jokers. The one on the call was used to get in touch with his wife, Maribel, to let her know that he was going to be right. The question, honestly, was nothing to write home about, copra is extracted from the coconut (not the cherry, nor the pineapple, or apricot, the other assumptions).
The level of Chicote’s questions (he became famous long before his namesake’s chef) was not as high as on other occasions, and can be verified by doing the test below. That came to arouse his suspicions of him around the star contest of Telecinco, a chain that at that time had impacted by another premiere, Big Brother.
Just a week before, in the American edition of the British contest, another participant, John Carpenter, experienced a similar anecdote. A few weeks ago Sobera himself, in My house is yours, confessed that they lived with some concern that there were misgivings about this round of questions and the call home. In these times of social networks if comparisons and a more bitter debate about the questions to Barcelona had been generated.
The last question from Enrique Chicote
Without a doubt there was no tongo, but there was a certain willingness to lower the requirementfor this specific case. Among the questions, who were the Hottentots; what doric, ionic or tuscan terms refer to; what actor was the mayor Welcome Mr. Marshall; or what power installed missiles in Cuba in 1961. Tonight Enrique Chicote returns to his contest, in the tribute version of Antena 3 (recorded in Poland). To try to match his feat never achieved by any other Spanish contestant.
