Lakisha's Big Day - February
28Last time, Seth
Finn walked away with $5000 and proved to the world that he
is not smarter than a 5th grader. Then Lakisha Livington
transferred in and used the class to get her to $2000.
We continue with Lakisha and
Alana on...

When you mix equal
amounts of red and yellow paint, what color do you get? |
Lakisha has an idea...
Orange. That's a lock in... and that's right for $5000!
In the audience is Lakisha's
mom (and her identical twin sister).
Next is...

In astronomy, what
star is closest to Earth? |
Alana is coasting herself...
As is Lakisha. Alana is locked in. The rest of the class is
right... Lakisha locks in with the sun...
... and she's right for
$10,000!
Time to switch out... This
time, it's Jacob. Next question is a milestone, because no
matter what happens, if she gets the $25,000 question right,
she's leaving with at least that much.

What country has
the longest border with the US? |
Jacob is locked. Lakisha
talks it out... She goes with ... Mexico. Correct answer...
Canada. Her only hope is if Jacob wrote Canada...
He wrote "Canada!" The save
is gone.

How many sides are
there on a trapezoid? |
Jacob, whose best subject is
math, is locked. Lakisha tries to remember what a trapezoid
is. She uses her last cheat. Jacob wrote "4". Lakisha, who
has a son in the 4th grade... goes with 4... Right!
Lakisha is out of help, so
Jacob returns to his desk. "Looks like my work here is
done."
Next question...

TRUE OR FALSE?
Fiction books are not assigned numbers in the Dewey
Decimal System. |
She can cut and run with
$50,000 or she can go for the $100,000... She says false...
Classmates wrote... False.
And they're all... right for $100,000!

How many decades
are in two millennia? |
Lakisha thinks that $100,000
is a lot of money... but she came for $1 million. She
says... that she's going to take the money and run. She
drops out with $100,000. She would said 20... it was 200.
Oh yeah, and one more
thing... "I am not smarter than a 5th grader." But with
$100,000, she can afford not to be.
New student tomorrow...
