Corrected entry: To test Jamal's ignorance he is asked, and fails to know, that Gandhi on a high denomination currency note. Gandhi is on all Indian currency, smallest to largest. Even if he had never seen the really big bills, he would know Gandhi was on them.

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie when Jamal is being shocked, he is being shocked by a single 12 volt car battery. 12 volts isn't enough to penetrate the skin and do any damage, you need closer to 30 volts and above.
Correction: Car batteries have been used as torture devices worldwide. It's not the number of volts, it's the amps. Stun guns work with just a 9v battery.
Correction: This assumes he knew that Gandhi is on all the currency. What may seem like common knowledge to you may not be to a poor, uneducated young man.
