Limitless Win contestants leave show with NOTHING after getting chocolate bar question wrong
A PAIR of contestants on Ant and Dec’s Limitless Win went home without a single penny after incorrectly answering a question about a chocolate bar.
Friends Abbi and Amy entered the show hopeful to take home some money to spend and save for the future.
But their enthusiasm was rapidly dashed as they failed to stay on the ladder after only the second question.
Fuelled by the motivation of getting their first easy question right – what’s the maximum number a person can roll on two standard dice – the ladies looked up at the screen as the killer chocolate question popped up.
Read aloud by Dec, he asked them: “If the two chocolate bars in a standard 50g pack of Twix were laid end to end, what would the total length be in centimetres?”
As early on quiz show questions go, this one was incredibly tough.
Abbi and Amy looked to one another baffled, and commented on how the size of Twix bars keeps shrinking so it’s hard to keep up.
One of them noted that they had actually measured the size of a KitKat before, which they were trying to mentally envision to use as a point of comparison.
“The KitKats were around 11 centimetres, I feel like it’s a bit bigger than that,” they discussed, agreeing 11 sounded too small.
Dec added pressure, reminding them: “Remember, one over and it’s game over. Exact answers bank you cash.”
After not knowing what else to think and beginning to second guess themselves the duo locked in 22, estimating 11 centimetres per Twix.
Abbi and Amy had only £1k in the bank as they waited with anticipation to see if they got the answer correct.
But the studio’s lights flooded with red, and they were both sent home empty handed.
“Ah, you’ve gone over so it’s game over,” said a shocked Ant.
“What was the answer, what was the exact answer please,” he continued, asking for the correct answer to appear for all to see.
The correct answer was 19 centimetres.
Voicing how they were “gutted”, the audience gave them a round of applause before they left the stage.
