2/19- Question D, Question H, Question E, Question F

This was pretty early in the round to have 4 repeat questions asked, but we got there today, and what a game it was. Ekk (Zach) was the contestant on line 2 with $190 in the pot again today. It was $190 yesterday, so should have been $200 today, but Carrie said $190. Brian was reading the questions off with record speek and Ekk didn't have a problem until the pronunciation bug got him on the last question.

To recap:

Question D: What was Franklin Pierce's youngest son's name? Benjamin (confirmed)
Question H: What was Warren G. Harding's third sister's name? Eleanor Priscilla (confirmed)
Question E: What was Theodore Roosevelt's assasin's name? John Schrank (confirmed)
Question F: What was Harry Truman's mother's name? The answer given was Martha Ella Young, which was wrong. The correct answer should be; Martha Ellen Young

Hopefully $200 will be in the pot tomorrow.

-Until next time...

2/12 - Question B, Question F, Question G

An interesting game today as Troy on line 4 got to the third question in his quest for the $150 in the jackpot. We had 2 new questions, and 2 confirmed correct answers in today's game. Troy appears to have the right idea and seemed to have a list of the Presidents and their families in front of him, which may not be a bad idea.

We've already established that fathers, mothers, sisters, sons, and assasins are going to be involved this round, so it is all going to be about Presidents and those around them, or trying to kill them.

Alright, enough, on to the questions:

Question B- What was James K Polk's father's name?
Answer: Samuel

Question F- What was Harry Truman's mother's name?
Answer: Martha Ellen Young Truman

It sounded like Brian would just accept Martha, but you may want to play it on the safe side and say the full name

Quesion G- What was James Buchanan's youngest sister's name?
Answer: Harriet Buchanan Henry

Until next time...
