How many keys are

Sierra already
has an answer. Steve never really played the piano. He uses
his COPY. Steve would've guessed 26. That's not right. Rest

doesn't have 88, Steve is 86'ed.

The laws of
motions are named for what English scientist who first
published them in 1687? |
He's risking
$25,000 for another $50,000. But he'd rather not take that
swing. Steve Hamm drops out with $50,000. Dog likes that
decision.
He would've said Newton. He would've gotten $100,000.
We've had a firefighter. Now it's time for a cop. He's a

Here to watch is his first-grade teacher wife and children.
First to help our copper out is the class genius, Nathan.
