Rania has handwriting on her hand. Meredith asks if she's cheating. Rania says no, they are notes from her family. One says, "Calm", reminding her to relax. The second says, "No stupid" - it's her mother's advice to walk away if she doesn't know the answer. The third says, "Just have fun", a message from her sister.
Rania used her ATA lifeline yesterday.

A - $17.50
B - $25.00
C - $37.50
D - $45.00
Rania says, "Oh, math." She then starts to reason out the answer by saying, "75 times 100 is $75, divide that in half and you get $37.50."
$8K - In 2007, newlywed Andrew Speaker sparked an international health scare by traveling abroad while infected with what?
A - meningitis

D - malaria
Rania laughs as Meredith reads the question, then says that one of her friends in Tulsa partied with Andrew before he got "this alleged disease". Meredith asks if the friend is OK. She is.
$16K - In Webster's New Millennium Dictionary, what actor's last name appears as a slang term meaning "to hog"?
A - Humphrey Bogart
B - Clark Gable
C - James Cagney
D - Marlon Brando
Rania knows that Brando got rather large toward the end of his career, maybe from hogging food. Rather than making that her final answer she decides to use her 50/50, leaving A and B. "Cool," Rania says. She decides to guess, despite her mother's advice. "Gable doesn't sound like something associated with hog." She knows her mother will kill her if she misses. Meredith notes that Rania is in the Hot Seat, not her
mother. Her mother will not be mad at her.

A - Algiers
B - Buenos Aires
C - Port-au-Prince
D - Quito
Rania remembers reading that the equator passes through Ecuador, and one of her buddies told her that Quito is the capital of Ecuador. Meredith says, "What a random thing to mention."
Commercial break
Meredith says that Rania's mother won't be mad at her. She then says that Rania's mother wants her to come home with something more than the money. Rania nods and says, "Making fun of mom may get me taken out of the will, but she wanted me to wear something so that everyone would know that I'm single - she wants to marry me off and the sooner the better." She wanted Rania to wear a T-shirt that read, "Single - Marry
me." Meredith says that if Rania wins the $1M men will be knocking on her door.
$50K - Who was the first U.S. vice president to be elevated to the office of president by the death of his predecessor?
A - Millard Fillmore
B - Andrew Johnson
C - Franklin Pierce
D - John Tyler
Rania says she should know this but she doesn't, so she wants to call her friend Erin Dale. Rania reads the question and the last names of the four choices. Erin says, "Um..." then just as time expires she says, "Rania..." Rania decides to switch the question.
$50K (STQ) - What is "C19A"?
A - Pluto's smallest moon
B - Ayn Rand's fist novel
C - Earth's largest iceberg
D - Coca-Cola's formula name
Rania says that A is too obvious, and doesn't think it's B. It could be either C or D. She went to Emory University and Coca-Cola was very good to them there so she decides to guess D.

Good for her! I wonder how SOX would react to the fact that a woman was able to answer a math question.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$4K - If a can of soda costs 75 cents, how much would it cost to buy 50 cans?

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. Although I don't think rania would have had that much difficulty with this question.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25K - Which of these world capitals is located closest to the equator?

This is a tough one - Had this come up in the regular stack I'd have tried the 50/50 first because I would have been pretty sure it wasn't A or B. A quick Google search gives the right answer. I wonder why she didn't use either of her other lifelines.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:ncy" Tyler came to the office after the death of William Henry Harrison after only a month.

Well of course! It was usually heard when someone was 'hogging' some type of illegal drug. "Don't Bogart that, man"
Not that I would know anything about that type of stuff.
Really!!
