7/10 - Question B

Good morning all. Our good friend Douglas was the (un)lucky contestant today on line 2. Always a pleasure to hear Douglas on the show, hopefully he will win this thing soon. $110 was on the line and of course the first question was new. I'm thinking if you have the Communist Manifesto memorized, you will do well in this round.

Question B: What happened to the weapons to which the bourgeoisie felled Feudalism to the ground?

Answer: They have turned against the bourgeoisie iteself. I know, I know, not a very sexy answer, but that's what I got from the link. If anyone finds anything else, let me know.

$120 on Monday, have a great weekend and good luck to everyone.

-Until next time...

4/22 - Question B

Thank again to Douglas who was able to listen today and got the question for me to post. It was another new one and $110 was in the pot.

Question B: What is the Prime Minister of Turkey's married daughter's wedding anniversary date?

Answer: Well, he has 2 daughters, Esra and Sumeyye. Esra was married July 11, 2004, so the answer will probably be July 11. You'll notice if you follow the link that the article was from Tuesday, July 13, 2004, but it references the ceremony being on the previous Sunday in the fifth paragraph.

Good luck everyone, thanks again Douglas.

$120 tomorrow

-Until next time...

3/9 - Question B, Question H, Question Q

Two previously confirmed questions and a new question today for Lana on line 4. Lana was playing for $320 today.

Quesiton B: confirmed 2/12
Question H: confirmed 2/19

Question Q: What was John Tyler's thirteenth child's first wife's name? Well, his thirteenth child was Lyon Gardiner Tyler, so that's the first part.

Answer: Anne Baker Tucker

Good luck to all, $330 tomorrow.

-Until next time...

3/4 - Question B, Question K

2 repeats today for Colleen on line 3. Now, yesterday, we were supposed to be playing for $280, but the Def Leppard interview went long, so we didn't play. Carrie said there was $290 in the pot today, so we'll see if they are actually adding the money even though there wasn't a game played, or if we will again have $290 in the pot tomorrow. In the meantime, on to today's questions:

Question B was asked again and was previously confirmed on 2/12

Question K: What was Grover Cleveland's chief cancer surgeon's name?

Answer: The answer I have found is Dr. Joseph D. Bryant, but no confirmation.
Let me know if you have found another answer.


Tomorrow we'll either be playing for $290 or $300

-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...

Question B

2/6 - Jeff was the player today on line 3. The jackpot was up to $110 today and we are definitely in a round about Presidents, and maybe even more specifically, fathers of Presidents, as was evidenced by:

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

Answer: Samuel


We will be playing for $120 on Monday.
