| Jennifer seems to be drawing a blank, so she'll spend a Lifeline. She knows that the 50:50 often produces less-than-desirable results, so she's just going to call her mother, Nancy. After the formalities, here's what they have to say:
Jennifer: "You positive?" Nancy: "99%." Jennifer: "OK. All right, thanks Mom." Nancy: "Good luck honey." (Hang up with 11 seconds left)  With nothing to lose, Jennifer will trust her mom and choose B... Which is her final answer.
The Phone-a-Friend Lifeline doesn't always work.
But it did here!!

LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Once again, there are countless stumpers that should've gone up around this area, while easier questions are being put on the top tier. I knew the answer right
away, since I played the cello in middle school (and there's four strings on both instruments), plus it's common knowledge that a guitar has six strings. If a choice is the right answer to one question, it probably isn't the answer to two. (Especially think about this if you're being asked a "which of the following is not..." questions.) | ||||||||
The following space is blank - don't worry about it.
