Quiz ace beaten by tricky Millionaire question


COVENTRY'S quiz show expert Naveen Mann is still kicking himself about his performance last night on ITV's Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

When the 42-year-old chartered accountant met Chris Tarrant, he was less nervous than most people because he'd already written a book entitled Journey To The Hot Seat.

The former pupil of Sidney Stringer School in Coventry believed he had researched almost every subject under the sun in a systematic fashion.

But his questions up to ?10,000 were trickier than most and he'd already used all his lifelines by the time Chris posed the ?20,000 question.

This was: Which popular song lyric began with the line: "I was born in a cross-fire hurricane?"



Sadly, Naveen, who grew up in Browett Road, Coundon, is not a fan of the Rolling Stones and had no idea that the words were from their 1968 hit Jumping Jack Flash.

I would have got that straight away, what were the other 3 options?

In this case yes to take the 3 option call a friend, ask the audience and 50/50.
