I was wondering if they'd do a Double Money week during sweeps month.As for the stack-1. easy-the dog is the springer spaniel.2. I didn't know this right away, but figured it out with the clue about the granddaughter being 4 years old-"Little Debbie" makes sense.3. JTQ. No idea here.4. easy5. I know the prefix "mal" means bad or negative-think "malfunction" or "malfeasance". From that, I got the right answer.
6. I was screaming "MOSES" at the TV while he was considering Noah-who was involved with a different kind of floating vessel-at least the lightbulb went off in his brain before he made a big (and costly) mistake.
7. Boy, that Da Vinci guy was very inventive. I got this one from the clue about glass. Stent grafts showed up late in the 20th century.

So I'm on the next question with 2 lifelines remaining.

FWIW it was a handbook on how to recognize witches.

Question 6 – 5 Biblical Baby Basket (Double Money)

D. Noah

I thought he was going to blow this one - he said that the Bible was not one of his strong areas and he started out by saying it was Noah whom Pharaoh was hunting and who had to be sent down the river in a basket. Then suddenly he realized that Noah built the ark.

Question 7 – 2 Medical History
Though Leonardo da Vinci thought of it first, in the 1880s physiologist A.E. Fick used crafted glass in an early prototype of what medical device?
A. Hearing aid

He should have gone for this one rather than waste the lifeline (contact lens was the answer he was leaning toward).

Question 8 – 8 Latin Roots
Used to abbreviate a common measurement, “lb” is derived from what Latin word?
A. Libatio
B. Libido
C. Livertas
D. Libra

He actualy reasoned this one out, but wasn't willing to pull the trigger.

Nihil obstat®.

FWIW it was a handbook on how to recognize witches.

Before using his ATA, he had narrowed it down to A or D. Curious that 17% of the audience resisted that lead and still voted for B or C.

Question 8 – 8 Latin Roots
Used to abbreviate a common measurement, “lb” is derived from what Latin word?
A. Libatio
B. Libido
C. Libertas
D. Libra

Well, he made a guess at what the other three words meant, but I don't recall him specifying what Libra was. If he had done that, it should have been obvious to him.

Yeah, that was an odd ATA result.

By "reasoned it out" I meant that he thought he knew what the other three were, and none of them suggested weight, leaving D as the only choice.
