This is not an $8,000 question. This is a $500 question.

$16K: No clue. Use the PAF.

So I've got $25K and three lifelines at hand for the third tier.

Wallpaper hanger & painter

Hmmmm...a professional wallpaper hanger? Is there a lot of call for that line of work?

She wore a red shoe lapel pin.

This is a potential landmine question - you have to remember that it was villified by some as being a "broken cross", so it has four lines, and thus four sections.

I wish she had taken a little longer and tried to figure it out - she said that she knew it. She also referred to the Hot Seat as a "gray matter sucking machine".

I'd have had to use a lifeline for this one. I know it's not Burroughs or Serling, so try the 50/50 and hope that B and C aren't the two left.

It's a shame she had to use the lifeline on the planet question because it might have helped here (although the 50/50 might have left C and D).

It sure looks right to me.

Oh yes! A lot of painting contractors do both. Many folks don't want to bother with the whole mess, especially if there's old paper to remove first.

If a home fix-it job takes more than two minutes to perform, there are people who won't do it and a contractor who'll do it for them. Paper hanging is perceived as more complex than it really is.

From some old sayings I've heard for years, the amount of work required to hang wallpaper is in inverse proportion to the number of arms the paper hanger has.

This question reappears now and then, just like the Boston Tea Party questions. Definitely in my wheelhouse. Also helps that I saw The Doors with Val Kilmer when it came out in 1991.

1K: I would have been drawing in spit, or whatever I had, on their monitor for as long as they let me. I couldn't get the continuation of the "stem" that bisects the upside-down "Y" for minutes & minutes. I might have actually missed this, or had to use 50/50 to narrow it down. Let's say I don't, though.

4K: Wife Swap I know. Trading Spouses I don't. But Trading Plaintiffs would be illegal, I hope. Go with it.

25K: Know its not Amsterdam. Helsinki, in Finland, would not be using a Germanic-sounding name, I don't think, they'd be using a Finnish name. I hope. And I think Danish sounds more Germanic than Swedish??? But would use 50/50 here. It also occurs to me that you might retain a "name from a conqueror", but we have to go out on some limbs here.

I could swear the peace symbol was

in a circle. I've always drawn it that way.


And I would have tanked!

That's the Mercedes symbol, moonie. Owning one may lead to your own sense of peace.
