A. Queen Elizabeth II B.Nelson Mandela
C. Pope John Paul II D. Fidel Castro

Steve doesn't know, so he's going to walk with $16,500

Answer

C. Pope John Paul II

From the comfort of my recliner I guessed the correct answer. Had I been on the show, though, I probably would have used JTQ.

It it just I or do the questions seem a wee bit easier? I wonder if they decreased the difficulty during sweeps in the hope of having a big winner. Certainly more people have made it to Classic Millionaire lately.
