A Rotterdam man won $50,000 on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”  yesterday.  Fred Ebert, a special education teacher at Niskayuna High School and a Rotterdam resident,walked away with $50,000 on the ABC game show.  Ebert first appeared on Friday and the show continued over to Monday, though it was actually taped on an earlier date.

“Ebert had a chance at $100,000 when asked a question in the “Latitude Adjustment” category, but, not being sure of the answer, he declined to offer a guess and risk losing the $50,000.

The question was: “Which of these world cities occupy roughly the same latitude?: A: Washington, D.C., and Athens; B: Rio de Janeiro and Mumbai; C: Paris and Tokyo; and D: London and Beijing. The correct answer is A, Washington, D.C., and Athens.”
