Six further contestants, who then appeared on the Hot Seat edition of the show, attempted to succeed him as Australia's Millionaire, and all six failed (the most recent of which was Kevin Short in 2013).
That was until 2016 however, when Edwin Daly, a 67-year-old retiree from South Australia, managed to correctly answer the fifteenth and final question for the first time in almost 11 years.
[5] Flood was a key member of Australian quiz show The Master,[6] which aired on the Seven Network on 16 August 2006 and was cancelled after the first episode.
The show was brought back in December (after the 2006 ratings period had ended) with the six remaining produced episodes going to air at an earlier timeslot of Monday nights at 7:30 p.m. (which The Weakest Link had previously occupied from 2001 to early 2002).
Flood also participated in this special show which was part of a series spin-off of Australia's Brainiest but did not make it past the second round.
