Transcript 9/13/2013 (1st show) - Jackie Long 1Q contestant

#1 Post by BBTranscriptTeam » Sun Sep 15, 2013 5:40 pm

Jackie Long - 1Q Contestant
Plainfield, NJ


Jackie is here with her best friend in the whole wide world, Zena. Cedric asks if Jackie would like Zena to come down and help her and Jackie says yes. Cedric says she can't. Jackie will get the next question from Levi's stack - for him it would have been worth $100,000 but for Jackie it's only worth $1,000.

1Q question:
If you hypothetically flew direct from the airport coded LOL to OMG airport, you would have accrued what passport stamps?
A - U.S. and Namibia
B - Indonesia & Japan
C - Hungary & Italy
D - Guatemala & Colombia

Jackie says this question should be worth a million dollars. Cedric says that some of those places are so far apart that you might have to connect through LMFAO. Jackie decides to go with A.
Spoiler
Answer: A (U.S. & Namibia)
Value: $1,000

Cedric says that you would go from Derby Field in Lovelock, NV, to Omega Airport in Namibia.
END OF THE GAME "NOISE"

Lucky Jackie!

This is absolutely a WWOQ, as is typical at the $100K level, these days.

Derby Field is at least an airport with paved runways.

As for Omega Field, well, that might be paved, but it's hard to see why anyone would have bothered to pave it, since it appears to be totally in the middle of nowhere, in desert/scrub country. :roll:

And to get really technical about the question, if you're starting your flight in the US, you'd only collect one passport stamp, when you landed in Namibia and woke the hypothetical customs official waiting there.
