I hope you'll post a description from your viewpoint, particularly for this question. Given those dates, were you about to identify any of the presidents in those choices?

I knew the $100K, but darned if I know if I could've actually done it with the pressure of the Hot Seat and 45 seconds.

Without TDC, I could have gotten it for sure.

A Washington B Taylor
C Harrison D Wilson

See, not even being totally sure on who B or C were (clearly A was Washington, I think I would have. Playing at home, I spent most of TDC trying to come up with anyone after Wilson and I knew D was closest to the timeframe I would ever guess he would serve in.

Still, who cares. Especially in comparison to recent contestants, you played wonderfully, Kim. Enjoy your money! :)

I went to college in New Jersey, so I knew that NJ Governor Wilson was the President they were looking for. Virginia has enough Presidents; let Jersey take credit for Wilson.

15K: Only got this by elimination, in which I knew each of the other shows had a big character who didn't have one of these 2 names. I don't watch any of the shows, but have seen most from time to time on an airplane, because my Mom was watching, stuff like that. Also, figured I was right because BBT is following a theory that if you are given a name currently considered dorky, you will grow up to be a big-brained dork. An interesting theory.

25K: ATA & hope they know.

50K: do not know; PAF

100K: Tough under a time limit, because its a 2-part Q; once I got the right president, their time period was easy, though. This was made just a little easier by Washington's time period not being up there; there's only one other W.
