Woof.

[CarShark]

It's amazing to me. I think she's the third or fourth contestant to hit the $25K right off the bat, and then proceed to get nothing else right.

Question 2 – Call It a Draw
Which of these games ends in a draw if there is no winner after forty-two moves?
A. Connect Four
B. Battleship
C. Jenga
D. Risk

This was a cinch for me because I could visualize the Connect Four board as 6x7. It really sucks to see another contestant be pretty sure, but not positive and deciding to use a lifeline rather than take the risk. The lack of risk-taking is probably one of the biggest differences from the show today to what it was when it first started, even the first couple of seasons in syndication.

Question 3 – Sports Online

I'm kind of disappointed that she seemed to give up so easily on that question. It was a Level 2 for a reason.

I don't know why I knew this, but for some reason "first submarine" and "Civil War" clicked together foe me.

One wouldn't have to know much about sports to PoE the correct answer here.
Cycling - 80 miles (no website necessary, just ride a lot), 80 mph (no chance without very special equipment and circumstances.
Bowling - 80 pins (my dog could bowl an 80 on a good day)
Tennis - 80 ? (no such score)

Perhaps you read about it when it was raised off the ocean floor about 10 years ago. It was pretty big news then.

Question 2 – Call It a Draw
Which of these games ends in a draw if there is no winner after forty-two moves?
A. Connect Four
B. Battleship
C. Jenga
D. Risk

You could probably play Risk for two days until somebody finally declared a draw; there is no draw in Battleship or Jenga. The first time I played Jenga, I think I got three moves before the whole thing came crashing down. That leaves the one I've never played, so I get this one right because I know what it wasn't, not what it was.

Probably a WE®. Any relation to Jeanane? Tim asked her if she read the books, to which she said that her boss was probably watching so "no, I don't". However she did mention that she spent time in the trivia section of the bookstore.

Definitely not Risk - I've played games that lasted for days. Definitely not Battleship. Jenga is the game where you pull blocks out, and probably wouldn't go 42 moves. That leaves only Connect Four.

I don't know why she couldn't reason this one out.

I recently toured the Charleston Museum after a lapse of many years, I was impressed. One display had a Ivory Billed Woodpecker, a Carolina Parakeet and a Passenger Pigeon stuffed and on display. (in the same room with a stuffed Polar Bear go figure) And of course the replica Hunley is out front.
