Overview

• In Monday’s broadcast, 45-year-old Mark Thomsen, who said he has an IQ of 150, missed the €32,000 question and dropped from €16,000 to €500 despite host Günther Jauch urging more caution.
• Jauch reacted with visible disappointment and empathy, calling the performance a “borderline between genius and madness.”
• Contestant Anna Maria Martín y Moreno exited with €4,000 as a replay revisited her husband Miguel’s 2015 tale of condom testing for a university study; he had previously won €32,000.
• RTL’s “3‑Millionen‑Euro‑Woche” runs Oct. 6–8 for preliminaries with the final on Oct. 9 at 20:15, airing on RTL with live streaming on RTL+ and episodes available on-demand afterward.
• The production emphasizes a stringent approval process requiring at least three independent sources per question, and viewers cannot submit their own questions.
