Google is exceedingly good at extracting value from every ad impression. Even if the marketplace wasn't ran by Google, I have no doubt that they would still be bidding high enough to get the vast majority of impressions simply because

Last night they hit 1M+ users, but also booted the vast majority of them from the game by marking the correct answer as incorrect on the first question. The cynical side of me wonders if it was a load shedding method.
