January 25

Last time, a former beauty queen and a graphics designer tried to go for the million. Both ended up with a decent $100,000 each.

Next on a special Sunday edition of 5th Grader (because Hole in the Wall fell through a hole in the ground) is a 29-year-old gym manager who attended Welsh Elementary in Louisiana... It's CODY McCOWN!

And Cody starts his million dollar quest with... Cody. The board available to him...

Next up, Olivia for the milestone.

3rd Grade Life Science $25,000 PEEK COPY  
A typical amoeba has how many cells?

He doesn't want to go home with nothing, so he COPIES Olivia's answer... The correct answer is.... ONE. If Olivia has that, he locks in money.

3rd Grade Anatomy $50,000 PEEK    
Which part of the eye uses cells called rods and cones to process light?

Ascorbic acid is also known as which vitamin?
a) Vitamin A

He would've said A. He would've been wrong. So would everyone else. Correct answer: C

Next up is a 32-year-old roller-rink manager from Fitchburg, MA who attended  Applewild Elementary... STEVE EARLEY! He's looking to roll out with $1 million.

What word is the preposition in the following sentence?
"Mackenzie sang in the school musical"?

While it's true that Mackenzie loves to sing, the answer to the question is NOT "Mackenzie." Unfortunately, Steve learns that the hard way.

... but fortunately Sierra has his back with "in". SAVED!

Olivia is next up for $100,000...

4th Grade Earth Science $100,000 PEEK COPY
