4/17 - Question P, Question E, Question M

Liz was on line 3 today, $510 in the pot. Brian is rattling off these questions at warp speed. Once again one of the James Garfield questions messed up the contestant.

The first two questions have been asked numerous times and previously confirmed correct. The third question asked was answered wrongly today and we'll review again:

Question M: What is James Garfield's third born CHILD'S name? James Rudolph
Question S: What is James Garfield's third born SON'S name? Irvin McDowell

Hopefully we can have someone get it right soon and move onto another round.

Good luck, have a great weekend.

-Until next time...

4/6 - Still no winner, Question S, Question Q, Question M

Well, we finally had both of the James Garfield third born... questions today. Colleen was the contestant on line 2 with $420 up for grabs.

Question S: What was James Garfield's third born SON'S name? Irvin (confirmed)
Question Q: What was John Tyler's thirteenth child's first wife's name? Anne Baker Tucker (confirmed)
Question M: What was James Garfield's third born CHILD'S name? Colleen gave the answer of Irvin again, but as we know, it is actually James Rudolph

Again, credit goes to Douglas for noticing that a few weeks ago.

$430 tomorrow, good luck everyone.

-Until next time...

Question M controversy - Thanks Douglas

Thanks go to Douglas for pointing this out and I can't believe I didn't realize this before he wrote to me.

On February 25th, we had Terry get question M for the first time; What was James Garfield's third born child's name? Our answer was found to be James Rudolph, however, when Scott gave that answer on March 2, it was deemed incorrect.

The question asked of Scott on March 2nd was What was James Garfield's third born SON's name? For that question, the answer is Irvin McDowell.

We had the question come up again yesterday, asked as What was James Garfield's third born CHILD's name, but the caller was unable to respond.

So, it appears we have 2 separate questions here. James Rudolph is James Garfield's third born child and Irvin McDowell is James Garfield's third born son.

Technically, the SON question should be question P, but since I didn't notice it until now, we are putting it at the end of our list and it will be question S.

Hopefully this will clear some things up and make sure you listen carefully to the question.

-Until next time...

2/25 - Question A, Question M

The pot was up to $240 today as Terry joined the show on line 2. The first question was a repeat, and was the third time we heard question A. It was again answered correctly. We then heard question M for the first time this round.

Question A: What was Grover Cleveland's father's name? Richard (no need for middle names)

Question M: What was James Garfield's third born child's name?

Answer: James Rudolph

We're playing for $250 tomorrow.

Good luck

-Until next time...
