July 10

Last time, Joey Chestnut flunked out with $25,000 when he couldn't name Edward Jenner as the man responsible for the smallpox vaccine. Then Veronica Lodge flunked out with nothing when she miscalculated dolls on a shelf.

After two straight flunkouts, can we get a big winner? We'll try with a comic from Pawnee City Elementary in Pawnee City, NB... Dan Whitney, better known to you and me as LARRY THE CABLE GUY! He and Jeff go way back. Larry actually thought he was going to "So You Think You Can Dance". That's... another show.

Let's git-er-done with this board.

Next to help out is Bryce and this...

Which type of punctuation is used to identify dialogue in a sentence? a) Colon b) Exclamation point c) Quotation marks

In humans, the Achilles tendon connects the heel bone to what muscle? a) Calf b) Tricep c) Deltoid

Now for the guaranteed money. Helping: Olivia.

4th Grade Ancient History	$25,000	PEEK	COPY	SAVE
The pre-historic structure known as Stonehenge is located in what country?

"Who in the world would live their life as a fake character?" Gee, I don't know.

CLASSROOM CLUB QUESTION from Gavin from George Washington Carver Elementary
TRUE or FALSE? Penguins lay eggs.

Larry just took his kids to SeaWorld to see penguins... but he did see "one daggone egg. They didn't lay eggs or it was breakfast." He goes with TRUE. ... Good for $50,000!

Welcome to the big time. Here comes ... Arnold Palmer, a golf legend. Now here comes Jonathan.

What US state contains a fort named Wayne, a city named Gary, and a town named Santa Claus?

The majority of Navajo tribal lands are located in what US state?

It's time to bring up the closer. Come on, Frankie.

The Salem witch trials of 1692 occurred in what present-day US state?

Larry's sure he knows, but he's going to PEEK. Francesca wrote... Massachusetts. Larry locks that in. That's what he was thinking. He's right for $300,000!

5th Grade Astronomy	$500,000		COPY
In the sun's core, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form what other element?

Francesca locks in her answer. He has an idea... He thinks Francesca knows what it is... But $300,000 is a lot of money, so Larry drops out.

DROP OUT: $300,000

He would've said ... "some sort of something. Butterscotch." It was helium. "DADGUM..." Yeah. But hey, a great cause gets a lot of money.

New star pupil next time.
