| Regis reminds Mark of his three Lifelines. Mark has it down to A or B. Again, after a slight pause, he selects B... And that'll be his final answer. He's right again! $4000! LOOGAROO LAMENTS: Ahh, my first lament of November! Anyways, this should've been an easier question for Mark, especially if he remembered the tale of the Ugly Duckling. Once he remembered that the duckling grew up to be a "beatiful swan," it would've become clear for him. Of course, maybe he did remember that, and that's why he went for B. I guess we'll never know. | ||||

| 10. Which of the these U.S. state capitals is located at the highest altitude? | | A. Cheyenne | B. Santa Fe
| C. Phoenix | D. Denver
| Mark: "Mile High City. It's gotta be Denver..... right?"
Mark goes with D... For his final answer.
Mark was certainly right...
Denver is the Mile High City...
But B. Santa Fe is even higher.
LOOGAROO LAMENTS: This was a toughie. I think the writers were banking on people guessing Denver, and I'm pretty sure that just about everyone would've been tripped up by this question. The thing that really hurts is, Mark still had all 3 Lifelines available, and he'll never get to use them. | ||||
