From a news article at the UK Daily Telegraph, with title "19 coughs helped major to TV Millionaire cheque, Jury Told"
* * * * * * * An army major cheated his way to the top prize on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? with the help of a fellow contestant who coughed to signal the right answers, a court heard yesterday.... ...Jurors were asked to listen for 19 distinct coughs which the Crown claims were designed to help Ingram. The most dramatic was during the £500,000 question when the major appeared to be ready to say that Berlin was the city that Baron Hausmann was famed for designing. The cougher is clearly audible on the tape, masking the word "No" behind a splutter. Ingram changed his mind and opted for Paris, the correct answer. On the final question, about the name of a number that is made up of one followed by a hundred zeros, the major answered "googol" after admitting that he did not know what a googol was. * * * * * ** Thane Plambeck 650 321 4884 office 650 323 4928 fax http://www.qxmail.com/home.htm
