in. This is one of those that either you know or you don't.
Monica decides to take a PEEK. Jacob said... "San
Francisco." Monica guesses ... Boston.
Not right. It was Paris, as
Monica flunks out with nothing. Transatlantic means "across the
Atlantic."
Next up, a 36-year-old

Correct answer was 120.
Brooke is called up for an important announcement. Remember that Tom
wanted to start a family with the $50,000. That's apt, because Brooke is
having a baby!
Next time, a new student...
or perhaps three. |
