Fun times. I remember back in the year 2000, during the dot com craze, there was a company in India that built a clone of "Who wants to be a millionaire". It was in beta and there was no real cash or prize involved.

They had all the answers stored in the source code. I wrote up a quick perl script to play the game and unfortunately left it running overnight, and in the morning there were complaints from other players asking how I'd reached the top rank so quickly.
