500 Poorly worded. Sounds like they want to know what the driver drove in Anciuent Rome that wasn't a chariot. I know what they mean though.

7K: I know Bikram & Hatha are yogurt. 50/50

10K: never heard of him, must be physics

20K: +1

Michael here!

500: I was so thrown by the syntax - just looked like a jumble of words - but went for the one person who was not alive in Ancient Rome. Should have taken the time to parse the question

10K: Figured Nobel Prize but wasn't sure about the Masters and had a meltdown. Tape was heavily edited - felt I might have led the audience to the Nobel / Pulitzer even split, so I had to go for the +1. Shortly after taping, Bardeen was name dropped in an episode of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Deeply regret not pulling the trigger on Nobel and burning not one but two lifelines.

20K: Figured A or B, but didn't want to go down the path of trying to name senators. Used 50/50 hoping for A or B to go away, but of course not. Regret using the lifeline there, but I was in full panic mode

Welcome, Michael! Thanks for the comments.

It's so easy from the Stratolounger. Well done in the Hot Seat. Oh yeah, no more Hot Seat. Still, well done.

Thanks, figured it was something close to faint praise or mitigated disdain

Looking forward to the transcript of my carryover episode (and catching up on the last few weeks of shows)
