Happy? Confident? Final answer? If these three queries cause anxious beads of perspiration to start forming on your brow then chances are you've been watching far too much of ITV's get-rich-quick-quiz Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
It is with those words that host Chris Tarrant turns contestants into jelly in their quest to win a million pounds in 15 "easy" steps. Richard from London may be 100 per cent sure that answer (d) manna, was the food supplied to the Israelites in the Book of Exodus, but now that coronary-inducing heartbeat sound effect is being played full blast and tricky Tarrant has got him thinking that maybe the right answer to the £8,000 question could actually be (a) ambrosia, (b) honey or (c) nectar.
The third series of the scarily compulsive programme concluded this week and it is fast becoming the most talked about show on television.
The concept is simple. Ten contestants are selected through a mixture of wit and luck from millions of callers to a special phone number. Once in the high-tech studio, winning a place on the hot seat opposite Tarrant involves answering a question not only correctly but quicker than anyone else. This is known in Who Wants to be a Millionaire? speak as the Fastest Finger First bit.
When women get through this stage they tend to blink in disbelief, while for men this moment invariably calls for that pub quiz stalwart triumphant-fist-in-the-air movement - a feat repeated several times throughout their TV appearance.
These Joe and Josephine Soaps start with nothing - "So I've nothing to lose, Chris" - gradually increasing their booty by correctly answering a series of multi-choice questions.
Things get interesting at the £1,000 mark when the money doubles and the studio lights grow dimmer with each correctly answered question, ending in theory nine questions later with the contestant walking away with £1 million. In theory. The most anyone has won is £125,000, with most wisely chickening out when the going gets too tough.
Although the Hot Seat can be a pretty isolating place, no one is truly alone on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Help comes in the form of three lifelines - the names of which have all now become common parlance in pubs and playgrounds. Contestants can Phone a Friend, Ask the Audience or opt for 50-50 where two of the wrong answers are taken out of the equation.
"Can I phone a friend, Chris?" they ask when for £16,000 the contestants just can't remember which locomotive set the world speed record for a steam engine in 1938. Tarrant obligingly phones one of their friends who more often than not says "I haven't a clue mate" terrified that if they offer a guess and it is wrong they will never be able to show their face down the local again.
Asking the studio audience is usually a safer bet, although it has to be said that they are not made up of 250 Mensa members on a diverting day out. If 70 per cent of the audience reckon that the relevant steam train was the Mallard then most contestants will take their word.
Throughout the show Tarrant - he of Tiswas and latterly all manner of tacky TV fame - becomes a kind of friendly nemesis to the contestants, willing them on to victory on the one hand, inflicting subtle psychological wounds with the other.
This week, a contestant was having difficulty deciding which musical the song Rhythm of Life came from. He could take his hard-earned £16,000 if he decided not to play, but if he answered correctly he stood to win another £16,000. If he was wrong, however, he would be going back home with a measly £1,000 - the honourable cry of contestants that they "came with nothing so what does it matter?" begins to ring slightly hollow as they begin to glimpse the riches that could lie ahead.
Anyway, to background music similar to that played in horror movies just before the heroine snuffs it, the man decided to phone a friend who promptly says "Sorry, mate you better take the money".
But he can see himself on millionaires' row now and although he is not positive of the answer, decides to play. Tarrant fondles his temple with his forefinger and inquires staccato style, "Confident? Final answer?". Belfast man falters again "No, I won't play, I'll take the money". Take as long as you want, advises Tarrant reeling him in. "I'm going to go for it," says the by-now frantic Belfast man. "Final answer, Sweet Charity," he says. "You had £16,000," says Tarrant. "You now have £32,000".
At this, the just under 20 million viewers of the programme exhale with relief and the contestant goes on to win £64,000. It may be distasteful, a repugnant example of how the advent of national lotteries has created a greed is good money-for-nothing culture, but it has proved to be great mass appeal television watched by everyone from barristers to bar staff.
ITV receives an average of three million calls from members of the public wishing to appear on the series. The programme generates further appeal by the fact that it is usually aired four nights in a row, but only appears every few months.
So far, a total of £840,000 has been handed out to this random bunch of dreamers, and sponsored by the Sun newspaper, the programme is already known in some quarters as Who Wants Murdoch's Millions? Watch out for the inevitable merchandise likely to include Who Wants to Be A Millionaire boardgames, fashion accessories, sportswear and a No 1 hit single: Can I Phone a Friend? (Sucker Mix).
