Need I say it?

Maureen comes from a big family. She has 45 cousins and she hasn't met them all.

Somewhere during the show D.L. made a joke about him being one of her distant cousins.

Question #1 - Level 2: Math Jokes
A bumber sticker popular among math enthusiast asks, "What does the Little Mermaid wear?"

A: An arithmetic B: A geometry
C: An algebra D: A caculus

Answer/Value/Bank

C: An algebra
Question Value: $100
Bank: $100

Maureen said that as soon as she saw "math" she went blank because it was not one of her better subjects. After a few moments the light dawned (you could see it on her face) and she gave the answer.

Question #3 - Level 10: Coincidence?
In a cosmic coincidence, what Apollo astronaut's mother's name was Marion Moon?

A: Neil Armstrong B: Alan Shepard
C: Jim Lovell D: Buzz Aldrin

Maureen jumps the question.

In Apollo 13 Jim Lovell's mother's name is given as "Blanche". I could eliminate that one, but wouldn't have been able to pick between A or D. So I JTQ.

Question #4 - Level 8: The Engines Roar

I'm surprised Tennessee had such a strong spike

Question #5 - Level 9: Enemy of the Senate
In 1950, what actress was chastised in the U.S. Senate as a "persona non grata" for having a scandalous affair with her director?

A: Sophia Loren B: Ingrid Bergman
C: Audrey Hepburn D: Elizabeth Taylor

Maureen walks away with $12,550.

Answer

B: Ingrid Bergman

My thought was that it was D, because all of the other actresses were foreigners. But 1950 seems a little early for Elizabeth Taylor, so I'd JTQ.
