$4K - Which of these celebrity babies is the child of an Oscar-winning mother and a Grammy-winning father?
A - Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
B - Violet Affleck
C - Moses Martin
D - Suri Cruise
It's a pop culture question but not one hard to figure out. elwing surprised me by knowing that it wasn't A or D. As for me, the only one I didn't recognize was C. (A - Brad Pitt, not a singer; B - Ben Affleck, not a singer; D - Tom Cruise, not a singer).

Rick says he doesn't know pop culture and asks that he be given no more of that type of question.
<sigh> How many of us would wish the same thing, Rick?

$8K - ACE inhibitors are a type of medication commonly prescribed to treat which of these ailments?
A - high blood pressure
B - arthritis
C - acid reflux
D - glaucoma
Rick says inhibitors would be to take away something and high blood pressure is something to take away. That said, Rick decides to use the 50/50, which leaves "A" and "C".
I guess he couldn't decide between two, and the 50/50 left the ones he was worried about. As for me, I take one, so no problem.

$16K - Following a political appointment from President Bush in May of 2007, Douglas Lute assumed what unofficial title in the press?
A - crime czar
B - education czar
C - economy czar
D - war czar
Rick was very busy in May 2007 and didn't have time to read the newspapers, so this would be a perfect time to call his friend Paul. Rick reads the question and Paul says he doesn't have a clue and asks Rick to read it again. He does so but with only one second to spare Rick says, "Answer now". Too late. Rick decides to walk away with his $16K.
I wonder what Rick was doing that kept him away from the newspapers? In any event, I thought it was D but would not have been sure enough in the Hot Seat to pull the trigger. I don't know if ATA would help, so try the 50/50 (which would probably have left B and D).
