7/14 - Question D

Good morning everyone. Jeff was the contestant with $130 in the pot on line 4. Jeff was on his way to Merrill to enjoy some time at his parents cottage with his 2 young children. The first question asked was new and Jeff did not respond with a correct answer.

Question D: Generally in the most advanced countries, what must happen to income taxes to centralize all instruments of production into the hands of the state?

Answer: There must be a heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

Once again, if someone has a different answer or different phrasing in the question, please let me know.

$140 tomorrow.

Good luck everyone.

-Until next time...

3/5 - Question J, Question D, Question P

The always classy Douglas was the contestant on line 3 today. Carrie confirmed again today that $300 was in the prize bucket. Douglas last played on February 17th and received question I for the first time and was out right away. Today, he had better luck, but received another new question.

Question J: confirmed 2/27
Question D: (which is now tied with question H for most asked this round with 4 times each) confirmed 2/19

Question P: What was Theodore Roosevelt's younger sister's husband's name? Corinne is his younger sister.

Answer: Douglas Robinson (too bad you didn't just shout out your name today, Douglas)

$310 will be in the LW Meyers Contractor Supply prize bucket tomorrow.

Good luck

-Until next time

2/27 - Question I, Question D, Question Question J, Question O

Alrighty, $260 up for Pam on line one today. Very good show today having Czaben in the studio for a good hour and a half. Good times. Pam got to question 4 and got question O for the first time and dropped out.

Question I: confirmed 2/24

Question D: confirmed 2/19

Question J: confrimed 2/27 (Dr. Howard Snyder)

Question O: What was George Washington's step son's teacher's name?

Answer: Reverend Jonathan Boucher

Have a good weekend, we've $270 in the pot when we return on Monday.

-Until next time...

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...

2/10 - Question D

The boys could not understand the first name of the player today on line 4. At first it sounded like Thane, but I believe it was cleared up and his name is Sang. At least, that's what we're going with here. Anywho, $130 was in the pot today, and as is usual in the early stages of a new round, we got a new question right off the bat:

Question D: What was Franklin Pierce's youngest son's name?
Answer: Benjamin

Tomorrow we will be playing for $140.

-Until next time...
