Question #2: Which of these is a nickname given to the growing trend of iPad and iPhone theft?

Question #4: The Rolls-Royce Phantom's $400,000 price tag includes what handy item that emerges from the door at the press of a button?
A - cane
B - shoeshine kit

Carl doesn't own one of these. Since it comes out of the door it seems that it would be something you would use when exiting the car. On the other hand, "handy" implies something you carry. He makes

briefcase

his final answer.

aud wasn't asked.

Estonut:

To clarify: Since this is an "if I was the contestant" exercise, I am saying I will guess/assume the audience wouldn't know. Or my +1 for that matter, though to save time time while typing on tab w/1 finger I didn't include +1 above.
