What gets me are the people who use Ask the Audience for a simple math or counting question (usually in the $2-4K range). Those people should be arrested for criminal disregard for lifelines.
Slow down. Take a deep breath. Work it out. You have all the information you need to figure out the correct answer on your own.
Later on when you get a question about, say, a movie you've never seen, you'll regret pissing away that lifeline so frivolously.
