Kris was a fun contestant. He talked his way through each question, just to make sure. No reckless play here. Lot of fun to watch him figure out that boxing question.

Question 7 - Level 2. Child's Play

Cubes of bamboo he climbed on as a boy inspired Sebastian Hinton in 1920 to patent what?

A: Seesaw
B: Slide
C: Jungle gym
D: Merry-go-round

Answer and value

C: Jungle gym
Value: $25,000
Bank: $48,500

I found this web page from the Winnetka Historical Society which tells the story of Theodore Hinton inventing the jungle gym. A footnote then explains that Sebastian (a brother of Theodore's?), who was a patent attorney, actually held the patent. Anyway, the original inspirer of the playground equipment had some ambitious goals for it!

During Hinton’s childhood in Japan, his mathematician father built a three-dimensional, multiple-cube bamboo framework in their backyard. His father theorized that people would never comprehend the fourth dimension while they led their lives in the second, always moving on flat planes. He believed that if people could become comfortable in a real three-dimensional space, the intellectual step to the fourth would be easier.
Mimicking a Cartesian-coordinate system in mathematics, Hinton’s father named one set of horizontal poles X1, X2, X3, etc. Those horizontal poles at right angles to the X poles were Y1, Y2, Y3, etc., and the vertical poles he identified Z1, Z2, Z3, and so on. Hinton’s father would call out coordinates, “X2, Y4, Z3, Go!”, and the children would scramble for that intersection. Hinton said they humored their father with these drills, but what they really enjoyed was simply climbing, hanging, chasing, and playing like monkeys. Now he wanted to build one for his own children.

I can't wait to hear about a parent trying that with their kids on the playground.

X2, Y4, Z3, Go!

Answer and value

C: 30 (He would have said 10.)
Value: $10,000
Bank: $0

Some CPR instructors are teaching no breaths. My EMT friend says she won't teach it that way unless she's ordered to do so. She says your heart has to beat and you have to breathe -- both of them -- to live.

I love this stuff! But I quit buying it. SteelersFan doesn't like it, and I like it way too much.

Ali was on last week or so, and SteelersFan remarked that Liston took a dive for money. What a shame.

Our safety office offers CPR training and I took it last year.

Girlfriend Lauren is in the audience. She urged him to try out, since he always yelled at the TV at home. But now that he's on the show, he has to play conservatively.

Another "reluctant contestant".

Girlfriend gets a hug, cameraman gets a slug! Whoops.

I wouldn't call it a slug - more like he turned around and didn't expect the cameraman to be right there behind him.
