Everything had started well: The question «With New Year’s Eve, the calendar year ends on …?» the 37-year-old was able to answer correctly immediately. In just 4.22 seconds, Hansch typed the correct order for the New Year’s Eve date of December 31st. and was allowed to Jauch beautiful Gslightly gsit across from the council chair.

Then came the first question about 50 euros, which Hansch also answered with flying colors: «In order to elicit notes from the recorder, one has to go through the instrument …?» The candidate chose correctly from the four options «Blow air».

He failed on the 100 euro question but then: «Who do you meet in the north German region of Dithmarschen, at least literally?» The answers were: «A: bastard, B: ass, C: pig dog or D: wanker ». That all four nouns were written in lower case and that the word in the question «literally» occurred did not give the electrical engineer the idea «ass» accept.
