When the sun goes down, Ben goes to work. Time for another trip through the streets of Manhattan... at night.

First up... A threesome... And the Handsome Cash Cab.

Passengers: David, Ben & Daniela

Halfway there, and they sweep the $50s. They have $300... and we're at a red light...

RED LIGHT CHALLENGE: With the 2007 release of "Leopard", Macintosh would have named six of its operating systems after big cats. Name four of the five other feline-inspired names.

Tiger... Panther... Puma... and Cheetah are good for $550. The other: Jaguar. They sweep the $100s for a perfect game and $850. But will they take it or go for double on the Video Bonus?

They're going for it!

VIDEO BONUS: As this ant takes a breather on a wide expanse of leaf, we can examine that its body consists of the head, the abdomen, and the articulated area in between. Meaning "breast-plate" in Greek, what is the middle segment of its body called?

They go with thorax...

CORRECT for $1700!

Next, a couple of dudes...

Passengers: Tommy & Mitchell
Destination: Maritime Hotel.
Blocks: 32.

First question...

$50: What synonym for "ladies' man" originated as a term for a domesticated animal kept exclusively for breeding?

They think about "stallion"... and that's a breed of "STUD".

$100: Founded by Benny Binyon, what Las Vegas casino hosted the World Series of Poker for 30 years?

They go with Golden Nugget... but it was the Golden Nugget. Strike two. The good news is that they have $350 in time for...

Blocks: 36

They sweep the lower tier for $200.

$100: Also known as lapidation, what primitive form of capital punishment is still used under Islamic sharia law?

Water torture? No, it's stoning. Dave needs to call this...

$100: Holding up to 24 ounces, an oversized can of beer is commonly referred to by what two-word name?

Dave's friend Jim says... nothing. Take a guess with "Magnums"... Nope. A "tall boy" is right.

$200: While the larger claw of the lobster is called "the crusher", the punier one shares its name with what carpenter's tool?

Street Shoutout at the destination, so this is all for nothing... Fifteen seconds and they can't come up with nothing. Is it the hammer? NO! Sorry. At least you're here. It was the pincer.

Ben gets dinner, and starts the second half with...

Passengers: Chris & Collin
Destination: 46th between Eighth & Ninth; Don't Tell Mama's
Blocks: 27.

First three gotten, but here's the fourth..

Beauty and the Beast, the Lion King, Tarzan, and Mary Poppins are right for the win and $600! Will they take the Bonus or go drinking? They're splitting.

One guy next...

Passenger: John
Destination: 19th & Fifth; the Flatiron Lounge
Blocks: 37

John sweeps the first tier for $200. He needs a Street Shout on this..

$100: Co-opted by a '90s rock band, what flowery expression refers to a rosy nose that results from too much drinking?

Slim pickings around here. The ones they find go with Wallflowers... WRONG. It was Gin Blossoms for strike one.

"Ironman". Try Xterra. Strike two.

$100: Named for their equine appearance, what gender-bending marine animals reproduce through male pregnancy?

"What the hell, let's go for it."

VIDEO BONUS: When not out for a leisurely stroll, this African variety of antelope is able to leap 30 feet in a single bound. Borrowed from Zulu and co-opted by GM, what is the name of this graceful cousin of the gazelle?

$100: Providing a fix for forecast junkies, the Weather Channel offers a regional update every 10 minutes called "Local on the..." what?

Street Shoutout! "8s? 1s? 10s?" They go with 10s... Strike two! It was "Local on the 8s." The good news is that they're here with $400! But will they leave with that or go double or nothing?

They're splitting. And so are we. Until next week...
