In the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire contest broadcast on ATV, the question worth 1 million TL made it difficult for the contestant to answer. In the contest, where the question asked about a world-famous person who was thought to have died at birth but was said to have breathed again thanks to the intervention of his doctor uncle, the contestant decided to withdraw. The correct answer to the question, however, surprised.
The 1 million TL question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, broadcast on ATV, created tense moments for both the contestant and the viewers at home. The contestant was asked who the person was who, at birth, was thought by the midwife to be dead and left on a table, and who began breathing again after the intervention of his doctor uncle. The contestant chose not to answer the question worth the grand prize and left with 500,000 TL.
FOUR FAMOUS NAMES WERE INCLUDED IN THE MILLION-TL QUESTION
The 1 million TL question asked on the show was as follows:
“Who is the person whom, at birth, the midwife thought was stillborn and left on a table, and whose uncle, a physician, blew air into his mouth and helped him breathe again?”
The options for the question were listed as follows:
A) Elon Musk
B) Pablo Picasso
C) Adolf Hitler
D) Paris Hilton
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS PABLO PICASSO
The correct answer to the question was announced as the world-famous Spanish painter Pablo Picasso. It was reported that Picasso, who was born in Málaga, Spain, on October 25, 1881, was thought to be dead after his birth because he did not cry and did not breathe.
According to the account in biographies, his uncle Salvador Ruiz, a doctor who was in the room, blew cigar smoke into the baby's face and nose. It was stated that after this intervention, Picasso reacted and began to cry.
HE WAS ONE OF THE PIONEERING FIGURES OF CUBISM
Pablo Picasso, regarded as one of the most important figures in 20th-century art history, played an important role, together with Georges Braque, in the development of the Cubist movement. The artist's works “Guernica” and “Les Demoiselles d'Avignon” are known worldwide. Picasso died in France on April 8, 1973.
