I was torn between the three wrong answers. Never would have picked the right one in a million years. However I *think* I had a Nihil Obstat® going in to this question (the $50k question was spoiled for me by the promo), so maybe the lifelines would help me.

Can't find earlier show so don't know if am still alive, but I was going for right answer. Bothered me that contestant talked about weight, which Q didn't, & then rejected heaviest choice anyway. But I'd have 50/50ed if I had it at the very least.

I'm confident it's wheat or soybeans. I've used the ATA, so I'll try 50/50, and if those two remain, Plus One.
