Is this WE® territory?

Yep. Long Island, an easy train ride into the city.

These were the easiest questions I've seen in a while, wouldn't have had to use a lifeline. I know--unfortunately NOT from experience--that's it's a very different thing to play sitting in the hot seat, as opposed to the comfort of your living room, but still I thought these were dream questions. And I can't believe she chose the Beatles song. I hope this doesn't sound too snarky,but when I see a contestant like this, the first thought I have is--how did they possibly pass the test?

Once you have read a few weeks worth of transcript threads, you will see how non-snarky that will be read.

Cute story - I guess kids must think of TV as magic, somehow.
