Episode 3.7 - Teenagers
October 24

We've tried giving away money to grownups (and succeeded one time). So what happens when we throw in a few teenagers? Find out as a teen mayor and two prom dates head back to the classroom... all the way back.

First contestant is the 19-year-old mayor of Muskogee, OK... From Creek Elementary, JOHN TYLER HAMMONS! It's a volunteer job. His day job? College freshman. In fact, his brother Aaron, who works at the local theatre, makes more money than he does.

Here's his board.

TRUE OR FALSE?
The US is the only country to have stars on its national flag.

This one is obvious. He goes with FALSE, and he's right. Nearly 70 countries have stars on their flag, including Australia, China, and my home country Panama.

2nd Grade Grammar $2,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
TRUE OR FALSE?
The following sentence is grammatically correct: "Olivia and me had to go to detention."

That "me" is supposed to be "I". So it's FALSE, but does John know that? With his high school GPA of 4.0... he does know that!

Next up to help is Jenna.

If Mr. Foxworthy goes to bed at 7p on a Monday night, and wakes up at 8a the next morning, how many hours of sleep will he get?

Jeff hopes it's his grandfather.

He goes with 13 hours... and that's right!

Fun fact: John was once president of the Young Democrats AND the Young Republicans. Another fun fact: if John ran for president right now, 74% of the audience would vote for him.

3rd Grade Spelling $10,000 PEEK COPY SAVE
Which of the following words is spelled incorrectly?
a) Privilege
b) Villege
c) Appendage

John isn't sure, so he PEEKS. Jenna says... B. John trusts her... and she's right, he's right, we move onto the milestone with Bryce at the helm.

2nd Grade US History $25,000   COPY SAVE
The thirteen original American colonies gained their independence from what country?

Fun fact: John's favorite historical hero is Julius Caesar.

John locks in Great Britain... and he's got $25,000!

Next up is Jonathan...

CLASSROOM CLUB QUESTION from Liliana of St. Francis School
What's the name of the first American woman to travel into outer space?

John decides to COPY Jonathan's answer. Correct answer is Sally Ride. John's mom knew it. If Jonathan has that, he's into six figures.

Jonathan said... "MAY JANE". I have no idea who that is, but it's wrong. So John flunks out.

FLUNK OUT: $25,000

Next up, two players, a prom king & queen from Derby High in Derby, KS... RILEY HICKS & ERIC LUTZ. They were surprised at being crowned. Let's see if they'll be crowned king and queen of AYSTA5G Elementary.

TRUE OR FALSE?
The Earth's atmosphere is made up solely of oxygen.
