<sigh> A contestant from upstate and all we learn about her is that she likes the city. And a vague "up for anything."

This was the top question in the unrandomized stack, but I'd classify it as a WWOQ for that level. How many people call list the top ten cities of these states? Why should we know that Jefferson City (pop. 40,771) is smaller than St. Peters (pop. 61,949)?

The second one also includes biographical details we never heard on the show.

* Peggy makes a living as a standardized patient (just like Kramer on “Seinfeld”!) She acts out symptoms of different ailments for medical students to diagnose.

* A few years ago, Peggy traveled with her husband Doug to Poland to track wolf packs and record the sounds of their howls. Peggy said after that experience, she’s ready for anything and joked that Millionaire would be a breeze in comparison.

* Peggy’s husband couldn’t make it to NYC to root her on for her Millionaire taping. Peggy knows that he will be eager to watch the show however, since he has a little crush on host Meredith Vieira. He’ll be able to see both of his favorite ladies on one TV show!

* Peggy said that if she won big on Millionaire, she would update her ‘70s style kitchen, buy some new clothes and plan for retirement.
