Matt Warnick
Meridian, ID
Matt returns with two lifelines in tow.
$50,000
Given that a developing embryo is often described as torus-shaped,
it would be more accurate to say that pregnant women have a what in the oven?
A: Cupcake
B: Baguette
C: Pretzel
D: Donut
A: 15%
B: 41%
C: 23%
D: 21%
A and D remain, the bottom two in the audience poll.
Matt: "Whoa! I am glad I used that!"
Chris: "And then that happened!"
Matt quickly decides to walk with the $50,000.
D: Donut

Not a good performance for the audience.
In their defense, I believe the torus description is applied to a very early stage of development, when the word "zygote" would be better than "embryo".

I was surprised at that answer. Then I thought of blood cells and wondered if the embryo has a hole in the middle. I looked at lots of pictures of "human embryo" and "human embryo torus." If I were at a donut shop and the employee handed me a donut shaped anything like what I saw there, I would immediately give it back. The torus description sucks and this questions sucks. If one of the choices were croissant, it could have been argued to be the correct answer.

I know that a donut is sometimes called a torus and that a torus doesn't necessarily have to have a hole in it.

This is true outside of math, but in the mathematical field called topology, the essential defining feature of a torus is its single hole. The first thing I ever learned about topology is that a doughnut is topologically equivalent to a coffee cup:
