3.15 - Mystery Desk #1
December 12
Last time, the current class took on the
challenge of a priest and a rabbi. The rabbi left the game with $25,000. We'll
see how the priest does... tomorrow.
But right now, we have another twist in the game
involving our next player, registered nurse JESSICA HAROLD. She'll have SIX
people to cheat off of as Jeff unveils the newest twist of the game... THE
MYSTERY DESK... (ooo-eeee-oooooo).
First in the Mystery Desk.... Cody's twin brother
Brody. First in the Helper's Desk... Cody's twin brother Brody. Here is the
board.

TRUE or FALSE?
Chameleons are the only species of lizard that can

Sierra said... FALSE.

Which of the following is a palindrome?
a) Vroom
b) Jumbo shrimp
c) Race car |
Garry goes with "vroom".... and that's not right.
A palindrome is the same forwards as it is backwards. The correct answer is C.
The kids got it right. Sylvia... didn't. She goes with B, which is an oxymoron.
But unfortunately, we're out of time on this
show. We'll find out what Sierra said next week. Tomorrow, it's Holiday Show
Part 2.
