Post 2 Slumdog Millionaire

I was shocked at the incredible luck that Ram has had on the first three questions. Apparently the past experiences in Ram's life guide him into answering the questions, as he continues his path toward winning the Billion Rupees. The audience and the host are surprised at how a simple waiter from the slums of India is capable of answering these extremely difficult questions. When Ram remembers the events that helped him answer the questions I began to understand that one does not need knowledge in order to be victorious, maybe luck and experience are enough for Ram to win such a huge game.
Every chapter of the book begins with the experience in Ram's life that allowed him to answer the question, and ends with Ram answering the question despite not having any knowledge from school, or from reading, or writing about the subject.
I find this very impressive, the fact that someone can answer difficult questions, without having had any learning experience in school  incredible. Ram is not only lucky to have had the opportunity to win the game, I find it lucky that he had the experience that would allow him to figure out these obsticals.
