They love that Fields Medal. I get this for the same reason I got it last time it was an answer, the way it was featured in Good Will Hunting. Except I'm already gone.

I never saw an episode of this and the only show I know with James Van Der Beek is CSI:Cyber. So if I have any lifelines I'll use them, starting with ATA.

No idea. I'll use whatever lifelines I have left.

10K: Sunny came out back when Colvin was still a folkie & there's no Van Dem Beck involved. I have no idea what Q is actually about. ATA


20K: sweet potatoes give off ethylene & will hasten the rottening of your bananas. I would have assumed unsweet potatoes do too, & would have confidentally gone out on this.

50K: Pretending I'm still alive, I throw lifelines at this. I discount "IT guy" as too obvious.

If I was Chris Harrison, I'd recruit Alysia for The Bachelor. She'd make a fun bachelorette.
