Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Mitchell was the only player this season to incorrectly guess on the $250k question. The rest either walked away with $100,000 or went for it and got it right, with Joe MacLeod and
Tony Hightower being the only two who did the latter.

Answer
A: Passports
120 million seems too small for automobiles and too large for DVD players. Since it's now a requirement to have a passport to go into Mexico or Canada I'd go with A.

Answer
D: John Glenn
No idea. I'll try my 50:50 and see what remains.

Again, no idea. I'll try ATA and my +1 and walk if I can't get a good feeling about one of the answers.

20K: as other(s) have said, only 1 is New Testament.

50K: Passports make most sense, but BAM isn't big on sense. 50/50 to be sure.

100K: Throw remaining lifelines at it.

250K: If still alive: He'd have to have bought A & C, so don't make sense here. Does he grow oats? Like them better than worms, but not sure. Go home.
