For $125,000: In what activity would you use a 'woolly bugger' or a
'rat-faced McDougall"?
A) Snowboarding B) Fly-fishing

he decides to call his Dad, Joe.

answer.
Will the 50/50 help? It leaves B) and D).
He admits that he was considering beef, and now chicken is jumping
at him.
He won't risk his money, and will walk away.

wrong. Of course, that means Fish was the right answer.

I recall in the original August 1999 run there was a Fastest Finger that had
to do with putting fractions in order from smallest to largest, and the
correct order was ABCD.

There was indeed one in the August 1999 run. On the phone game, however, the
order of answers is never 1,2,3,4.

I can't quote the exact questions I had, but I have definitely seen the
