10. What is the only current US coin with a president's profile facing to the right?
A. Half Dollar	B. Quarter
C. Nickel	D. Penny
Doug stares at the question in thought. Then, he asks a question which quells what might have been another controversy: Doug: "Is that facing to the right as I look at the coin, or facing to the president's right as if he were looking at me?" Reege: "As you're looking at the president. He's looking this way (turns right) to your right." Doug has a feeling he knows the answer, but he doesn't seem sure enough to go out on the limb. "How nervous does my wife look right about now?" Doug is going to Ask the Audience.
A. Half Dollar - 18%	B. Quarter - 17%
C. Nickel - 10%	D. Penny - 55%
The Audience favors Penny, but for the first time in the two weeks, every choice has gotten at least 10% of the vote. Even worse, Penny wasn't Doug's first instinct. So, he's going to call his friend Jim. Here's the transcript:
Jim: "I think it's the Nickel, Doug." Doug: "OK." Jim: "You said looking to the right, correct?" Doug: "Yeah. I'm looking at the coin, and he's facing to the right. He is facing to my right." Jim: "Uh, that's the Nickel, Doug." Doug: "OK."(Time's Up)
Now Doug is in real trouble. The Audience said Penny. His friend said Nickel. And all this time, he thought it was the Quarter. Reege: "Mozart sounds pretty easy now, doesn't it?" Doug: "Oh yeah!" Doug decides to use his last remaining Lifeline - the 50:50.
A. Half Dollar	OUT
OUT	D. Penny
You'd think that this would cement it for him - but Doug still has his doubts. But he's going to bite the bullet and pick D... Which is his final answer. Doug's friend thought it was the Nickel. The Audience said the Penny. Up to this point, the Audience had only missed once. And they got this one right!! Doug wins $32,000!!

11. Which of thesee celebrities was born in Puerto Rico?
A. Ricky Martin	B. Jennifer Lopez
C. Jimmy Smits	D. Cameron Diaz
Regis reminds Doug that this question is a freebie - he could miss this and he wouldn't lose anything. It's a good thing too, because Doug doesn't know the answer. He will take a guess though. Not playing favorites, Doug decides on Cameron Diaz. Reege: "Cameron Diaz born in Puerto Rico..." Doug: "She might as well be. And if not, she should've been." (Audience laughs) D is his final answer. Doug had nothing to lose... So it wouldn't hurt that much to find that... A. Ricky Martin was the right answer. Doug Foster will have $32,000 to help him in that adoption.
