Martin Flood (born ) is an Australian quiz show contestant who competed in the show ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'', and participated in the short-lived program ''The Master''. Flood was an I.T. analyst for Westpac bank at the time of winning ''Millionaire''. He lives in New South Wales and retired from working altogether six months after the big win. Harbouring an ambition to become a quiz champion, he studied general knowledge intensively for five years before appearing on the show, collecting information from trivia nights and also analysing past episodes of the show. == ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' == Flood was the second person to win the $1,000,000 major prize on the Australian version of ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'', after Rob "Coach" Fulton. He won the prize on the 14 November 2005 episode after being asked: Who was never Time Magazine Man of the Year? A: Adolf Hitler, B: Ayatollah Khomeini, C: Joseph Stalin or D: Mao Zedong. The answer was Mao Zedong. He answered the question only after using his final lifeline, the 50/50. His appearance on ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' spawned some controversies, as it was marred by suggestions that he may have cheated. The program launched an investigation following complaints from audience members about coughing in the audience. The Nine network's ''A Current Affair'' focused on a moment when an audience member coughed as Flood mentioned an answer (creating links to convicted English quiz show cheat Charles Ingram) and on suggestions that Flood was behaving erratically. Flood, who was unaware of the suggestion until after taping the second episode on which he appeared, was publicly cleared by the network of any improper conduct. Flood was the last winner of the original incarnation of ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' in Australia. Six further contestants, who appeared on the ''Hot Seat'' edition of the show, have since attempted to succeed him as Australia's Millionaire, and all six have failed (the most recent being Kevin Short in 2013). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Martin Flood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
