September 19
Last time... Jeri Chandler made it to
$10,000. With all her cheats remaining and her son Joshua to cheat off
of (remember, she has the class AND the visiting class of her quints),
she's prepared to go for the milestone of $25,000... Here's the
question.

The first ever
westbound Pony Express delivery started in Missouri and
ended in what US state? |
With no idea and not wanting
to lose the money she's already won, she PEEKs at Josh's
answer... "Massachusetts." She decides not to use that
answer... instead, going with California... Good move!
Next on the docket... 3rd Grade Music.

The Sun is the
brightest star we can see during the day. What's the
name of the brightest star we can see in the night sky? |
She goes with Venus... not
right. Correct answer was the Dog Star. The only way that
she can continue is if Olivia has that...
Olivia says... "Dog Star!" SAVED!
Last partner out of six is... daughter
Meagan.

There are three
elements that are found in all carbohydrates. Carbon and
hydrogen are two of them. What's the third? |
She wants to take a stab at
it, but even with a copy still on the table, she drops out.
If she used it... then she would've had $300,000. Meagan had
the right answer, oxygen.

What punctuation

CLUB QUESTION from Marianna from Monte Vista Elementary |
Lewis and Clark
were famous explorers who reached Oregon in 1805.
Clark's first name was William. What was Lewis' first
name? |
He still had helps on the
table... but he walks away. Probably for the best. Jordan
wrote down "Bob". That's... not right. It was Meriwether.
