Answer

A: Barack Robinson

I see what the writers did here. Guess they didn't use Barack Rodham because of the equal time law.

Can't believe someone who passes test doesn't know recent oscat winners

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: "String" implies the strings on a tennis racket, so I go with C.

3,000: easy

5,000: 50:50, hope A and B aren't remaining.

7,000: easy

10,000: haven't seen the movie, so ATA

I'd be facing 20k with one lifeline left.
