Episode 3.2
- The Twins & the Quints
September 12
Last week, Kathy Ireland made up for
getting one of Craiggers' five questions right by winning six figures.
Kathy Cox went one better and ran the board for a million. Tonight,
we're giving you two contestants for the price of one, as twins enter
the classroom to take the big money quiz. Then, the multiples keep on
coming as a player gets help from her brood of quints!
First, though, 25-year-old identical
twins who graduated from Mounds Elementary School in Tulsa, OK... DANIEL
& DYLAN COX. Are two heads better than one? Not better than Kathy Cox,
probably.
To the categories.

TRUE OR FALSE?
In the English language, every grammatically correct
sentence must contain at least one word with a capital
letter. |
This one seems like a no
brainer. It is after the twins lock in TRUE.
Second tier assistant is Jonathan. No
armpit farts this time, but they do have this for $5000.

Jenna has a
subscription to a magazine that comes every other week.
How many issues of the magazine will she receive over
the course of eight weeks? |
Every other week for eight
weeks adds up to 4 issues. Pretty crappy subscription, but
the twins get it for $5000. Now to double...

What is the name

In terms of

When 17 is divided
by 3, the remainder is R. What's the remainder when 13's
divided by R? |
Simple algebra at work. 17
divided by 3 is 5 with 2 left over. 13 divided by 2... any
odd number divided by 2, for that matter... gives us a
remainder of 1. That's what the twins go with, and that's
giving them $50,000!
We're moving up to the high-rent
territory. Here comes Francesca to help.

Which of the
following is an example of an oxymoron?
a) Peanut gallery
b) Rhyme time
c) Living dead |
An oxymoron is a two-word
phrase made of contradictory words. That fits the
description of C... and the twins have $100,000!
Now a bit of history. The last set of
twins won $175,000. They have a chance, and I'd say a pretty darn good
one, to tie that feat.

What automotive
company introduced a car called the Model T in 1908? |
As I said before... a pretty
darn good chance. They go with Ford for the $175,000!
Last tier of questions before the Million

In the radio
frequency abbreviation AM, the A stands for the word
amplitude. What word does the M stand for? |
They still have the copy and
save, but rather than risk what money they managed to get on
this run, they drop out.
DROP OUT: $175,000
If they copied Bryce... or they went for
it themselves... they would've had to give back $150,000. He wrote
"morning". They would've guessed "meridian". Both were wrong. It was
"modulation".
Next up... we have a visiting class, and
they happen to be close to our next player, a 48-year-old mother of
quintuplets from Highland Park Elementary in Manchester, CT... JERI
CHANDLER! And speaking of the quints, here they are... our visiting
class! In order... Meagan, Joshua, Amanda, Emily and Heidi! Her board is

What word in this
question comes first alphabetically? |
Isn't this a sight, a

... and Bryce goes to the plate to help
her on it.

question... will be revealed next time! Class dismissed! |
