Dead in the water at 8K unless the ATA is convincing. Otherwise I may well have to burn up other lifelines to get past it.
If i get past there I might get to the 100K Q were again I was SOL. Which is odd as Alien is a favorite movie of mine. Should have known the source of the USCSS Nostromo, 180286.

With the way that Meredith pronounced the name it sounded Portugese, so it was either A or C. I guessed C, but might have tried the 50/50 to see what was left.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$50,000

elwing mentioned this when the question came up. She's been doing a lot of reading on Alaska because of our upcoming cruise.bazodee wrote:Klondike Gold Rush NHP actually has two units. One is located in Skagway, Alaska, but the other part is located in Seattle, commemorating both the beginning and end point for the migration. Luckily the writers chose not to include Washington as a distractor.
