rod turns dust to lice. "Who is Aaron?" Right for
$1600!

Daily Double #1: $1600
McWriters. Arthur has $7000, and he's going for it
on this: in 1962 Marshall McLuhan wrote, "Electronic
interdependence recreates the world in the image of
a global" this. "What is a web?" No, it's a village,
dropping him to zero.
Daily Double #2: $1600 Peaks &
Valleys. Arthur has $2800 and he's going for it again on this: the Barossa
Valley just north of this capital of South Australia is known for its vineyards
& great wines. "What is Adelaide?" FOR THE DOUBLER, $5600!

Even if
Julia were to double, it would not be enough to catch
Ben, so she's mathematically eliminated. If Arthur were
to double, He would have $36,400 to Ben's $32,200. So
for Ben, the magic number: $4201.
