As a result, fans in the Oz were left blown away after a recent contestant, Michael, walked away with a staggering cash prize of $100,000 (£50k).
During the episode, viewers were on the edge of their seats as the player was forced to guess one of the show’s final and “hardest questions,” in just 30 seconds.
The Aussie was asked: “If January equals 717, March equals 5315 and June equals 4624, then what does August equal?”
The clock ticked to zero in nail-biting scenes as Michael changed his answer before time ran out.
After a tense 30 seconds, Michael guessed 6848 which was the correct answer as the studio audience erupted into applause for Michael.

Social media erupted with praise for the contestant as one viewer remarked: “That was seriously an impressive answer! He nailed it like a true champion!”
A second said: “I’m impressed, I was stumped, “Wow amazing that he got that, very clever,” a third fan added, cheering on the winner.
The winning answer is 6848 because August has six letters and is the eighth month of the year and if you multiply both numbers together, you get 48.
January is 717, March is 5315 and for June it’s 4624.
