Let's see if Chad can win it all!

| I'm worried about the 9% who picked Limp Bizkit. They're something-heads, all right... But Chad is persuaded by the audience to select D... Which will be his final answer. And he's stumbled his way to a thousand dollars!

| Without hesitation, Chad decides to use the Phone-a-Friend and call Mike, a fellow teacher. After the obligatory stuff, here's what they said:
Chad: "You're sure?" Mike: "Yes I am." Chad: "OK, thanks Mike." Mike: "OK." (Hang up with 13 seconds left)  That was quick. And so is Chad saying D... As his final answer. No problem! $16,000! | ||||||||||
| 10. What is the largest denomination of U.S. currency to be issued since 1969? | | A. $100 | B. $500
| C. $1,000 | D. $10,000
| He seems pretty sure that A and B aren't right. He seems to remember a $10,000 bill being mentioned somewhere, so he'll take D... And that will be his final answer.
Kind of a gamble on this question.
And it's a gamble that...
Will cost him money. The answer was A. $100.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Two things here. First, Chad should've stopped. It was obvious he didn't really know the answer, plus he was out of Lifelines. $16,000 may not be the largest amount available on this show, but it's 16 times more than he left with. Also, regarding the question, the word "issued" is the key word. Sure, there might be $10,000 bills floating around, but the mint isn't making them. Try going to a bank and getting your $1,000,000 in $10,000 bills, and you'll see what I mean. | ||||
