There's an old axiom:

Trivia is only easy if you know it.

I thought this would be a bit more generally known than to be worth $250K, but that's at least partly because I knew it.

I also follow Broadway enough that something like this is in my wheelhouse.

In retrospect maybe it could have been the 100,000 dollar rather than 250,000

Now this question is too involved. Millionaire questions usually don't require three layers of knowledge. I'm sure I'll be inundated with examples from the transcripts, but that's my recollection.

If one other person and the contestant agrees, then I'd be willing to modify it.

Russia is the largest country in the world, so we can eliminate the person whose name looks Russian.

So is the second largest country Canada, China, or the US?

My gut is telling me that Canada is the second largest country, but I just can't risk 225,000 fake dollars. Shade, thank you for another great round of Millionaire. One day, I'll have to put you in the Hot Seat. :lol:

I'm outta here with $250,000. Final decision.

Given the opportunity, I would've said Larry O'Brien (since I already know that Fenty is the mayor of Washington DC).

It's pretty obvious. Way too easy, IMNSHO.

Wow, you are actually walking?! well if you decided to go with it, you would have been right for 500,000 dollars. but

TOTAL PRIZE MONEY: 250,000

that's still a lot of virtual money

(damn, I really wanted someone to see my 1 million dollar question)

I never thought anyone would walk on my show considering there really isn't anything at stake and you must win 500,000 or 1 million to get into my hall of fame.

Any who, the next Round will be Tuesday, Oct. 16 at 8:30 EST

These games are fun to "watch," even in 'reruns.' One of these days my timing will be right and I'll get to play.

Which of the following vehicles would you summon in a medical emergency?
A. Taxi
B. Ambulance
C. Fire Truck
D. The Millionaire-Mobile

Maybe it is different everywhere else, but if you call 911 in Omaha, because of a heart ataack or other medical emergency, the likely first responder will be a fire engine and rescue squad. Ambulances usually are used only for non-emergency transportation, and technically are private companies.
