Maybe it was just I, but I didn't get the impression that she was really thrilled about being on the show, despite Cedric's promptings.

I know Panama hats come from Ecuador - elwing and I saw them being made. I know the English horn is actually French and I'm pretty sure that Chinese checkers come from India, so I'll go with Swedish Fish. Turns out that Chinese checkers was devised in Germany and was a variation on an American game called Halma.

I seem to remember a very long time ago (perhaps on PTBAM) they asked a question about what country Panama hats are made in. I think it was a high level question that the contestant needed a lifeline to figure out.

As for the second question about doctors and bad handwriting-my dad was a doctor and he had AWFUL, barely legibile handwrting. He couldn't spell very well, either.
