Note on category #6: these are words

Daily Double #1: $2000 How Low Can
You Go?. Jane leads with $8200 to Michael's $6400. Cheech wants her to bet it
all. Jane bets $1000 on this: this chemical element has the lowest melting point
of any metal & that's why it's liquid at room temperature. "Oh, what is
mercury?" Correct for $9200.
Daily Double #2: $1600 Science. Both
Michael & Cheech trail by $2400. Michael's going for $2500 on this: it's a
substance that conducts current: sodium & potassium are 2 of the ones Gatorade
restores to your body. "What's an electrolyte?" Correct for $10,900 and the
lead!

Okay, now let's talk numbers...
- Cheech... there's no way to say
this, but with your total, you're pretty much out of it.
- If Jane doubles up, she'll go to $49,000. Therefore...
- Michael, the magic number here is $5301. That number will lock you into the
title.
