I knew that George C. Scott and Marlon Brando were the two non-acceptors. But I would not have been able to choose between Hackman and Lemmon for the sandwich. They were all so close together. TOUGH Q. Well done, Sharon.

I'm already gone, but I wouldn't hazard a guess on this one anyway.

Q12: I am already gone. I couldn't remember Scott had not accepted his award until she said it. I could never have narrowed this down. Contestant deserves every cent.

Q13: Its lucky anyone survived medicine in this era. They would certainly have bled him. Shaving-then-burning is either so specific it has to be true or the writers want us to think that. On the other 2 you could toss a coin, though. If I was still alive here, I wouldn't.


I am so glad Contestant was wise enough to run with the loot.

Surprisingly, I have all of my lifelines (been awhile since I could say that at this level, if ever).

Thought that Hackman was between Scott and Brando, but money would make me think long and hard about how sure I am.

If I pull the trigger, then I am jumping the $500k and hoping that I get the "more times than not" easier $1 million question. If not, I still do better here than in real life.
