7/30 - Question F, Question N

Greetings everyone. First of all, thanks to Jeff for providing the question and answer from yesterday's game. I am glad Jeff gave us the info, because I had the answer written incorrectly (much like I had the answer to Question F incorrect).

Kem was the contestant today on the 4th line. He was playing for $250. Kem got the first question correct, which again, I had written incorrectly.

Question F: What is veiled by religious and political illusions and a substitute for naked, shameless, direct, and brutal exploitation?

Answer: Free Trade (confirmed as correct)

Question N: What happens to the laborer right after he is set upon by the manufacturer?

Answer: He is set upon by the other portions of the bourgeoisie, the landlord, the shopkeeper, the pawnbroker, etc.

Good luck everyone, $260 tomorrow.

-Until next time...

Updates

Good morning all. I have some updates from the past few days. Again, these questions are long and Brian reads them quickly, so I don't always get the exact wording, if someone has other information, please share.

Today, Douglas was the contestant on line 2 and the first question was a new one. Before we get to that, however, here's what happened the past few days:

7/20 - Dylan was on line 4 with $170 in the pot. His first question was new:

Question H: Waht does the Bourgeoisie mean by freedom?

Answer: The connection between personal freedom and property rights (sorry I don't have the link to the source anymore).

7/21 - Big Mike out of Dousman was the contestant on line 1 with $180 in the pot and his first question was a repeat, which he did not answer correctly:

Question F: What is veiled by religious and political illusions and is substituted for naked, shameless, direct brutal exploitation?

Answer: The Bourgeoisie

7/22 - Again, Douglas on line 2 with $190 in the pot. The first question was new and went something like this:

Question I: Generally in most advanced countries, what must happen to all credit in order for the proletariate to wrestle all property from the Bourgeoisie?

Answer: Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exlusive monopoly.

This is a pretty difficult round, so good luck everyone.

$200 tomorrow.

-Until next time...

6/16 - Question C, Question F, Question S

Good morning everyone, Sarah the newlywed was the contestant on line 2 today with $500 in the pot. The first 2 questions were repeats, one was confirmed for the first time (by my records) and the third question was new, question S (by my records).

Question C: What is the name of the President of Sri Lanka?

Answer: Mahinda Rajapaksa

Question F: What is the name of the former President of Peru who was recently sentenced to 25 years in prison?

Answer: Alberto Fujimori

Question S: What is the President of Chile's paternal great great grandfather's wife's name?

Answer: Francoise Jeanne Beault

I am about 90% sure that was the question. If anyone has something else, let me know.

Up to $500 tomorrow

Good luck everyone.

-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...

2/12 - 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...
