    It says in the statement that question was not the game decider. In the video, it said there were two questions remaining... so if they had been correct, they would not have won the money outright. Who knows what happened on the next two questions, of course, they would have had more money to spread around. It is unfortunate, but hopefully, they will do well next time.

    for some reason i wasn't able to watch the video.maybe the show should let them play again from that point on ,using their first answer as correct,and use the original 2 remaining questions.that would be fair.

    I read that the answer to the question came from 3M itself.

    so if the answer came from the source I don't think you can blame the game show for getting it wrong.

    BTW for those of you that enjoy Kevin Pollak
    I highly recommend you check out his Online Chat show.

    Welcome to Kevin Pollak's Chat Show

    the interviews range from an hour to 2 and half hours but they are not like regular talk shows etc. no prepared questions and its all rather refreshing.

    you can check out the online archive either on the site or directly on Youtube.
    the show streams live every Sunday at about 3pm PST
