1. Which of these terms refers to a male housecat? | A. Tom | B. Dick
| C. Harry | D. Al
| Tom chooses A... And says that's his final answer. AND HE'S RIGHT! WAY TO GO!! |
2. Which of these is not considered a dairy product? | A. Cottage Cheese | B. Muffin
| C. Milk | D. Yogurt
| Tom hasn't seen many cows give muffins, so he'll pick B... Which is his final answer. He's right again! $200. |
3. On what TV show would you find the character Fox Mulder? | A. Spin City | B. Just Shoot Me
| C. The Sopranos | D. The X-Files

4. What body part of Evander Holyfield did boxer Mike Tyson bite off in 1997? | A. Finger | B. Ear
| C. Toe | D. Nose
| Tom got a little worried of what might have been the D answer... (Use your imagination) He goes with B... And confirms that's his final answer. Another correct answer! $500. |

|
6. Which of the following calls itself the "Show-Me State"? | A. Minnesota | B. Montana
| C. Mississippi | D. Missouri
| Tom: "I've never been there, but I know I love 'em now..." Tom goes with D... And that's his final answer. The Show-Me State has just shown Tom $2000! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: This is what I meant about my lament for Robby Roseman. THIS question is easier than the one about Hannibal, yet it's 5 steps higher up the ladder. Later on we'll see another easy question even higher up. |
7. Sarah Ferguson is the spokesperson for which of the following? | A. Jenny Craig | B. Weight Watchers
| C. Lean Cuisine | D. Overeaters Anonymous
| Unfortunately for Tom, all four choices have the same purpose. He's reasonably sure, but he'll Ask the Audience. A. Jenny Craig - 6% | B. Weight Watchers - 86% | C. Lean Cuisine - 5% | D. Overeaters Anonymous - 3%
| Tom had a feeling it was Weight Watchers all along. He chooses B... And that's his final answer. The audience comes through yet again! $4000! |
8. Which of these abbreviations represents the computer storage capacity known as one thousand bytes? | A. ROM | B. KB
| C. RAM | D. MB
| Tom doesn't know it himself, but he knows someone who does. HIs computer friend, Dennis. Here's the transcript, after the question and choices:
Tom: "A thousand bytes." Dennis: "A thousand bytes is a Kilobyte. That's KB." Tom: "How positive are ya?" Dennis: "Well, it's either KB or MB, MB is Megabyte." Tom: "Thank you, Dennis!" (Time's up) I hope Dennis' final remark doesn't confuse Tom. But he knows that Kilo means one thousand, so he'll go with B... Which is his final answer.
Tom: "I'm a fat man, Regis! My heart can't take it!"
Tom's right! It's KB!! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: OK folks, two separate lines. Softies who want to let this go, line up to the left. Hair-Splitters who want to riot because a KB is actually 1,024 bytes and not 1,000, line up to the right. I'm siding more towards the right here, since after Thursday's horribly written questions, the writers should have taken a little more time in compiling their information. I'm not about to go on a tirade, though. Since ROM and RAM were totally wrong, and MB was too large a unit, it had to be KB. |
9. Which of these appears on the reverse of a 20 dollar bill? | A. Lincoln Memorial | B. US Capitol
| C. White House | D. US Treasury
| And no, he can't reach for his wallet. Tom has it narrowed down to two possibilites, but wants to see if the 50:50 will knock off one of his alternatives. OUT | B. US Capitol | C. White House | OUT
| It worked. Tom only has one of his choices left. He picks B... Yes, that's his final answer.
And if you have a Twenty in your wallet...
You know that the back side of it....
Has a picture of...
C. The White House.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS: This was a pretty tough one. I may have gone with the White House, but since I wouldn't have had to use my Phone-a-Friend on the last question, I could always call my mom or dad and have them whip out a Twenty for me. |
