Andrew Bratsman
Houston, TX
first year medical student
Andrew's wife is pregnant with their first child; they will find out the baby's sex next week. He's going for $20,000 with his 50:50 and +1 (his mom) lifelines still available.
$20,000: Which of the following is NOT one of the four words abbreviated in the common internet acronym HTML?
A - hyper
B - text
C - media
D - language
Andrew wishes he had paid attention in high school. His first thought was
hyper
so he feels good about that. He thinks using his 50:50 will make it a little easier.
"50:50 results": A & D
He thinks
hyper might refer to hyperlink or hypertext
. He practiced the game before and his wife gave him a chocolate chip every time he got a right answer. He goes with his gut.
Answer: C (media)
Chris says the "M" stands for "markup".

so far so good.
I understood contestant to say it *wasn't* hyper that was wrong. Then he went for it anyway.
