course knows that kinetic energy is moving energy. They could have asked
that a mobile is an example of what type of art, that would have made the
question a little harder if someone thought kinetic art was a nonsense
answer.
The man who won $500K Sunday night I think had pretty hard questions...The
4K question about New Orleans was obscure at least to me.

parts of North America seeing latter half of his climb. He still
has all 3 lifelines.
Joe has been trying for about a year to get on the show. His mother
Pat, who has alse tried to be on the show, is in the relationship
seat.
Hopefully, without any antics of those zany Chads interrupting this
show, let's play!
For $32,000: In the 1991 movie, "The Commitments" what type of
music does the band play?
A) Soul B) Heavy Metal
C) Jazz D) Irish Folk
One of those lifelines will go by the wayside, as he phones Fran.
Fran is a music editor, and resembles the singer from the
Commitments, according to Joe. Joe finishes the options, and Fran
gives an immediate answer: Soul.
Joe will agree, and make Soul his final answer.
Fred's right! Joe's right!
For $64,000: Who is the only U.S. President to have addressed the
Russian Duma?
A) George Bush B) Richard Nixon
C) Bill Clinton D) Jimmy Carter
Another lifeline will be used. Poll The Audience: 13-32-34-21. Joe
had a inkling, so he is going to see what is left when he uses the
50/50. It will leave behind C & D. That confirms what he was thinking.
His free shot will be used on Bill Clinton.
That free shot

Catches nothing but green.

For $125,000: What is the name of the unseen part of the knife blade
that secures the blade to the handle?
A) Nib B) Tang
C) Bail D) Dibble
Joe's glad he used the lifelines, because he doubts any of them
would have known this. To Joe, A) Nib makes the most sense. He thought
he would gamble on this question if he could narrow to 2. He's
looking at the word Bail, and will select Bail.
In the sense that he is going to walk away with the money.
He was thinking about Nib.
But, the answer was Tang, so he'll exit happily with $64,000.
(Fastest Finger time)
"Put the movies in the order of their first theatrical
A) Do the Right Thing
B) Saving Private Ryan

the fastest was Patrick Downs, with a time of 4.65.

C) HDL D) LDS
He's going to phone-a-friend: Diesel. Diesel is a med student in
Florida, so it isn't going to be Kevin Nash or Glen Jacobs. After

about it.

player to play in the American League?
A) Larry Doby B) Dan Bankhead
C) Satchel Paige D) Jackie Robinson
He eliminates Jackie Robinson, who debuted in the National League.
After that, he goes to the audience, after hinting at the 50/50. The
audience poll is 23-4-55-18. He seems to agree with Satchel, but
wants to see what is left with the 50/50. Satchel remains, along with
Larry Doby. He'll go with the audience. Sathcel Paige is his final
answer.
He swings at the pitch!

I can't say about the Cupcakes, but that had to bring back some
memories for you... :)
So is your PAF liking his laptop that you got him?? [If I remember
rightly, to those who wonder why I ask, Matt posted here that he was
going to get his PAF a laptop for his help -- rather than the cut of
the money he told Matt he wanted in the call.]

If you hadn't said so, I would have. Especially the bees question--not
only is it fairly common knowledge, but the other answers make very
little sense, and so even if you don't know that bees dance, you'd be
likely to get it by POE. Certainly doesn't make sense to put this at
125K and HDL vs. LDL at 4K.

Hey, Glen Jacobs WAS a dentist for a while, so maybe it's not such a
stretch! B^}

Reasoning being that the North Sea directly "connects" to the
Atlantic. Norwegian oil platforms are in the North Sea, and the
tankers which service them travel directly through/from the Atlantic.
Whereas, one *must* travel through either the English Channel or the
North Sea to get into the Baltic.
What do you think?

That occured to me, too. It's obvious that North Sea was the correct
answer, but they're being sloopy again. Just add the word "directly" to
the question and then no one would have a case to challenge it.
