Q 5-I actually knew this one (I think it came up on J!).
Q 6-good grief, I've never seen the movie and I know that Rick and Sam are both in it.

At first I thought "annual" was "animal" and was expecting some sort of reference to Arnold Ziffel.

I don't blame her for using the lifeline - this was at or near the top of the unrandomized topic tree. I've heard the expression and knew the right answer.

Yes, but it would be nice to know if The Baroness Elsa Scraeder recovered after Captain von Trapp broke off their engagement.

No kidding. Golf was my first thought before the choices came up. Took me a minute to switch gears.

Another dream question gone. And priced much lower (originally a 25K Q, before randomization) than I thought it would be if it ever appeared.

So was it the Captain whose name was "Rick" (short for Richard, perhaps) or one of the children?
