Olga Kreimer
New York, NY
Math and Spanish Tutor

Olga has $100,000 in her bank and is about to go for $250,000. Yesterday, she said that with the money she wanted a steam vac and a cheese of the month club. Besides being a tutor, Olga is also a writer, so she says she'd like to take a summer off from working to go stay somewhere on a cliff by the ocean and write.

All of Olga's lifelines are gone.


$250,000
Particularly skilled at the high jump, what crooner had to choose between recording his first album and attending the 1956 U.S. Olympic trials?

A: Frank Sinatra B: Johnny Mathis
C: Paul Anka D: Tony Bennett

Olga walks away with $100,000.

Answer

B: Johnny Mathis

I really enjoyed watching Olga. Either TPTB saved some of their best contestants for sweeps month, or that's happening by coincidence.

I would have paid good money to watch Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennett high jump.

Glad this is posted, as her final Q & some of the next player's Qs were cut off by weather-related stuff in Boston. (The mayor telling people to commute by public transportation, not drive today. Later, the public transportation announced they would not be driving, training etc after 3:30pm.)


For a $100,000.00 Q, wow; both Frank S. & Tony B. recorded albums well before 1956. And I was pretty sure Anka's 1st was later than that. Would I have gone with Mathis if I was playing for real? I dunno. I hope so!
