$50,000
Beginning "We the People," the 52-word preamble to the U.S. Constitution features all but which of these words?

Tom does not know, mentions he had a good PAF for government issues (that lifeline is used), does not think 50/50 would be enough help.


STQ $50K

C. Bhutan D. Nepal

50/50 left C and D.

Nepal was jumping out at him, he thinks that not many people know about Bhutan and it might be more appropriate for the high level. He is still leaning Nepal, so he takes the free guess and, since that was incorrect, he leaves with $25K.





Answers
$50K - D. Government
STQ $50K - C. Bhutan

Same for me.

I wouldn't have seen this question, but had it been in the stack, I'd have known the answer, leaving me looking at the $100K question with two lifelines still available.

Give the man his What Else card.

What Else?®

Nihil obstat® on both $50K questions.

How old was this guy?

I imagine that many people who were kids in the 70s and early 80s would simply sing the Schoolhouse Rock song in order to get the answer. That's what I did.

Young enough to remember Schoolhouse Rock, if his appearance was any indication.

He seemed young to be - maybe late 20's, early 30's.

Of course, I am old.

I have never seen an episode of Schoolhouse Rock.

I have no idea when Schoolhouse Rock ended its run, but he might be too young to have seen it (although we own the DVD set of all of them, great memories!).

And Pea, if personality and attitude have anything to do with it, you are much younger than many, many people on this bored alone!

Awe, fishie, you are so sweet.

Good thing you don't hate perky.

50K: OK, the preamble, which I once knew by heart, has both "welfare" ("promote the general welfare") & "posterity" in it ("to ourselves & our posterity"). I am pretty sure "justice" is in & "government" is not; in the preamble they say "union", not government.

Go for it.

STQ 50K: Say its my 100K; I don't think the mostly-Islamic nations would have a dragon flag. Although nationhood symbolism often trumps religious. But I rule out Malaysia & Bangladesh. However, with no 50/50, & knowing you can't always get "the right" flag image of more than one country up quickly on Google, I'd STQ this one.

That's exactly what I did as well.
