John

is the only one that's a Gospel. Even if you're not Christian, you may know that the other three books are in the Old Testament.

[Coupon Boy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Mitchell was the only player this season to incorrectly guess on the $250k question. The rest either walked away with $100,000 or went for it and got it right, with Joe MacLeod and
Tony Hightower being the only two who did the latter.

Mitchell says there weren’t even 7 million cell phones or DVD players in 1989.
50/50 leaves passports and cell phones.

Answer

A: Passports

120 million seems too small for automobiles and too large for DVD players. Since it's now a requirement to have a passport to go into Mexico or Canada I'd go with A.

[ghostjmf]

20K: as other(s) have said, only 1 is New Testament.

50K: Passports make most sense, but BAM isn't big on sense. 50/50 to be sure.

100K: Throw remaining lifelines at it.

250K: If still alive: He'd have to have bought A & C, so don't make sense here. Does he grow oats? Like them better than worms, but not sure. Go home.

[SportsFan68]

So far, so good.
