| 12. Jacqueline du Pre was a celebrated player of what musical instrument: | | A. Piano | B. Violin
| C. Cello | D. Flute
| Paul doesn't seem to know the answer. Regis reminds Paul again of his two Lifelines. Paul is going to use one - his 50:50. OUT | OUT |  C. Cello | D. Penny
| Paul still doesn't know, so he's going to call his brother Peter. Here's the transcript:
Peter: "Jacqueline du Pre..." Paul: "Jacqueline du Pre." Peter: "du Pre... Cello or Flute... I think flute, but I'm not sure, Paul." Paul: "Oh. Mm-hmm. Can I phone another friend?" (Audience Laughs) Peter: "Yeah. I think it's the flute. I think it- It rings a bell, but that's it. That's all that I can think of."(Time's Up)  All three Lifelines are gone. Regis reminds Paul that he can stop and take his money. But Paul is going to go for it. He goes with his brother and says D... Which is his final answer.
He's taking a $32,000 gamble on this question...
And this gamble...
Will not pay off. The answer was C. Cello.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS: I'd have guessed D as well. The only famous cello player I knew of was Yo Yo Ma, and (silly me) I didn't really think there would be more than one celebrated player of a specific instrument. | ||||||||||||||
That's all the time we have for new players. We'll get to the final stats in a second, but first we still have some unfinished business to take care of with a certain marathon runner |
The following space is blank - don't worry about it.
