Pick in the poll. I have a million dollars riding on this and I'm depending on the collective intelligence of ATOT.

A Turkish TV contestant has become the laughing stock after failing to answer a question on the location of the Great Wall of China.

Twenty-six-year-old Su Ayhan, an economics graduate from Istanbul, appeared on the show Who Wants to Be Millionaire Turkish edition on private broadcaster ATV on Aug. 4.

“Where is the Wall of China?” was the fourth question Ayhan was asked, as the presenter named the ancient structure in Turkish on the popular contest.

“I know the answer but I’d like to ask the audience,” Ayhan said, using her first lifeline.

Ironically, only 51 percent of audience members suggested the correct answer, while the rest picked the other options of India, South Korea, and Japan.

Disappointed by the lack of consensus among the audience, Ayhan used her second lifeline and phoned a friend, who gave the correct answer and saved her from an embarrassing elimination.

“What kind of education system do you have in Turkey,” a Beijing-based Twitter account sharing Turkish news on China asked after the episode was broadcast.

“I hope many people in the audience failed to answer the question thinking it was too easy to be asked, setting a trap. Otherwise, this huge ignorance problem cannot be solved, even with our new Education Minister Ziya Selçuk,” daily Hürriyet columnist Ahmet Hakan wrote on Aug. 6.

"I could use my lifelines whenever I wanted," Ayhan responded to criticism.

Well people don't necessarily stay calm and composed in a game show, so this can happen to anyone.
 
The map posted above shows that a segment of the Great Wall is located in present-day N. Korea, while another segment is located in present-day Mongolia.

Which is true but none of those were a possible answer. I know they try to trick you sometimes but even if I didn't know the answer I'd still guess that the Great Wall of China was located in China.
