Overview
- During the January 12 broadcast, contestant Milena stalled at the €64,000 question about which country named rye bread a national dish in 2017.
- After she used her final lifeline, no one in the studio initially responded, prompting Günther Jauch to quip about clearing the hall for a replacement audience.
- A woman from the audience then suggested Finland, yet Milena chose to quit at €32,000, with Finland later confirmed as correct.
- Jauch acknowledged he did not know the answer with certainty, saying he only had a tendency toward one option.
- In the same episode, a separate contestant, Axel Wolf, mistakenly sat in Jauch’s chair, faced microphone and phone-a-friend glitches, and opted to stop at the €32,000 question.
