A. Gout, NV B. Lyme, CT
C. Crohn's, MT D. Hemorrhoid, WV

Answer and value

B. Lyme, CT

Question 6 - How Do You Say...
Which of these languages is officially categorized by the State Department's Foreign Service Institute as a "superhard" language for native English speakers to learn?
A. Russian B. German
C. Japanese D. Swedish

Spoiler

Joey believes he has read that it is Japanese. He decided to go with his gut and if he is wrong he would have a little talk.
Mere: with whom?
Joey: with his gut, perhaps about a diet or something

Answer and value

C. Japanese
Value: $2000
Bank: $19500

A. Nirvana B. The Rolling Stones
C. U2 D. Coldplay

Answer and value

C. U2
Value: $1000
Bank: $20500

Question 8 - E for Einstein
Standing for energy, the "E" in Einstein's equation E=mc2 should be uppercase because, in physics, a lower case "e" refers to what?
A. Equivalence principle B. Entropy of a black hole
C. Electric elementary charge of a proton D. Escape velocity

Spoiler

Joey said he is not math and science.
He figured since e is an electron he thinks it would not be C. There is nothing in "this big old noggin'" of his that has an answer for this.

Walk

Answer and value

C. Electric elementary charge of a proton

Walk

Answer and value

C. Electric elementary charge of a proton
Value: $not revealed

Spoiler

The charge of a proton and electron are the same, except the proton is positive and the electron is negative. Since Joey's not into science, he didn't know this. At least he knew what an electron was.

C would be my guess, but I would never pull the trigger on it.

e is the charge on an electron, but the use of capital letters for non-vector quantities having to do with energy AFAIK comes well before the discovery of the electron.

I know it isn't B or D. Since I have lifelines I'll use a JTQ here.
