Her restaurant, Crush, sounds delish.

Sounds quite similar to a chain we have around here called "The Grape".
It's the only place we can find 1963 Tawny Port, supposedly THE year for Tawny Port wine. $300 a bottle, but you'll never enjoy any other Port once you've had it.

We checked into opening one here in Auburn, but the Franchise fee is a cool million!

$8K: I would've been out on this question. I thought it was too few white blood cells.

I confess I would have used a lifeline here, also. I know it's not U2 but beyond that I couldn't figure it out (unless the "forty" is a reference to how long they've been together). Probably ATA just to get it out of the way.

"Haymaker" isn't used very often any more, so I can understand her not knowing this.

She should have gone with her thinking.

I guess that one would be a Bio-Nitwit if he or she does not know that anemia means who have too few red blood cells.

The clue here is "licks," which is a reference to the tongue logo used by the Stones on album covers and merchandise since the beginning of time.

If there was a "smacks head" emoticon available here I'd use it. That never dawned on me.

I actually got that clue!

And if this had been me in the Hot Seat, it would have been another "Am I being really, really stupid for trusting a hunch about pop music without using the ATA?" moment.

Another fascinating run by a thousandaire out there making "good TV".

While I have no doubt this Q is true it is indeed sad commentary. But not at all surprising. I am only surprised that it is only 60%.

And that as many as 21% know who wrote "The Odyssey"...

Well, if it was a multiple choice test with four choices...
