His picture is of holding a piece of a pear to his nose to look like a moustache
(other choices are friends Elana, Miami, FL and Carol, Brooklyn, NY)

PAF

Jeremy says it's a tough one, he does not know (it sounded like he dropped or put down the phone then picked up) and Barn would be a wild guess.

ATE (:13)

ATE

Ogi reacts like he knows it and says he knows for sure it is not the barn or the shed. He says he is pretty sure it is the shack and remembers seeing the cover being a small structure in the woods. He says 90% sure it is the shack and asks if she has double-dip, then says he is certain it is the Shack.

Walk-$16,000

Might have been TDC®-ed on the safari question, but might have used a LL anyway. That was the last question that she would risk not being able to pay for her shirt or bike. Her goal must be a WE® record; it made those who mentioned they were aiming for $4K or so look impressive!

Oh, and the nighttime BPOTD is that she was trying to climb an Antill.

[Kazoo65]

Easy stack up to 50K. I'd be Double Dipping choosing between Hawaii and Delaware.

$25K-I learned about Mendel in 10th grade biology class. We spent a LOT of time studying him and how he studied heredity using those pea plants.

Where Else®, and depending on what kind of writer, she may also be a What Else®.

Gee... ya think?! <grumble>®

I'd like to meet the 9% who claim to have seen polar bears during a safari.

$8K: I've never heard of this book. Ask Ogi.

$25K: I would've been screwed on this one. Even before the choices came up, I thought it was either Delaware or Rhode Island. I didn't think that Hawaii made any sense because of all of the islands.

Stop right there, Sara! I pay you that $30 plus a bike plus a healthy bonus, if you step down and give me your turn in the Hot Seat!



I have used the ATA at $8K. I recall christie mentioning that Hawaii school district fact, but I think that was after this taping would have been, so probably another lifeline there. So, does Hawaii have statewide election campaigns for the school board?

As long as she doesn't pull a llama, she's good for at least that. But the name of the show is Who Wants to be a MILLIONAIRE, so set your sights a little higher, 'kay?

TDC® striikes again?

Spoiler

B. The Shack (:09)

Never heard of the book, but it's most likely "Shack" - "Barn" and "Shed" sound like farm buildings, not likely to be found in the middle of the woods, and "Hut" seems too jungle-ish.

$16K (A Pea in the Pod):

D. Gregor Mendel (:11)

And evidently he fudged his data. There was a discussion about this either here or on the J! board.

I might have gone with Alaska and gone home with $1K - even though it's a large state its population is small. Assuming I didn't let TDC® pressure me into a bad choice, it would be time for a lifeline. I doubt ATA will help, nor will DD, so let's go with a Google PAF and hope.
