How to Cheat the Game Show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire”
The infamous incident of Major Charles Ingram and his wife attempting to cheat the game show “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” is a marvelous tale with a captivating premise and a remarkable turn out of events. It truly was amazing that the contestant was able to get as far as he did without arousing suspicion considering how blindingly obvious the fraudulent act now looks in retrospect.
For those unacquainted with the story, Charles Ingram was a contestant on the game show back in 2001 who used a simplistic communication technique with his wife who was in the audience to successfully wriggle his way to the highest prize of one million pounds. Specifically, as Charles rambled with the game show host his wife would loudly cough as he read over the correct answer. Shortly after the victory Charles and his wife were prosecuted and charged.
This story couldn’t help but raise a certain question in the minds of the technology enthusiasts that work for Ruby Devices. Could there be another system to cheat the game and win the ultimate prize? A method rooted in a much higher caliber of intelligent design and stealth?
With that question, we got to work. The initial challenge was selecting a form of communication that could work with a high level of stealth but at the same time offer high practicality. An earpiece or gadget placed on the eyeball, for example, would spell disaster for the ultra high definition top of the range cameras on set. To make this work we knew we would need a form of communication that did not require any devices exposed to the cameras. Similarly, the device could not make any noise which would spell equal disaster.
We decided on using vibration as our form of communication. Vibrations, if tuned right, could theoretically be silent enough to make no noise but powerful enough to be easily felt by the us.
So we created Invisible Wireless Earpiece kit with External Microphone and SOS Signal Button
It could be used with any Cell Phone with 3.5 mm jack or 2.5 mm jack. You can buy 3.5mm jack to 2.5 jack adapter in accessories section.The Signal button can be put under your toe or in your sleeve. When you press the beep button, a beep tone is sent to your partner over the phone, no matter where they are in the world it is perfect for situations when you can’t talk or whisper. Use the Covert Signal button to signal – for example, one tap for YES, two taps for NO. So you are in full control of your event! At the same time you can use High Gain External Microphone and hide it in your sleeve or anywhere on your body. This device is also good for Oral exams and for written Exams.
