I had never heard of Kola Boof or her book, so I did a quick Google search. I don't have enough information to know how credible she is, but many people are on the record as calling her a self-promoting liar. So it seems kind of reckless to just accept her claims as the basis for a question about Osama bin Laden.

Nick, you only have the $42K if you get to Round 2.

Well, $23,500 isn't too bad.

Yeah, but that's Cedric's fault for continuing the fiction until it's time to face question 10.

Well, $23,500 isn't too bad.

Yeah, for answering all of three questions without help. Isn't the randomized money tree wonderful?
