TWIST FIST

there are 15 questions. the first question, for $100 is:

Nan-in, a Japanese master during the Meiji era (1868-1912), received a university professor who came to inquire about Zen.
Nan-in served tea. He poured his visitor's cup full, and then kept on pouring.
The professor watched the overflow until he no longer could restrain himself. "It is overfull. No more will go in!"
"Like this cup," Nan-in said, "you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?"

That question is so difficult I no longer want to be a millionaire.

the show is cancelled now because once when Regis asksed "Who wants to be a millionaire" a person just yelled out "It's me! The answer is ME! I wanna be a millionaire!". thus exposing a gaping loophole in the show's premise.
