Double Your Money Week

Greg Sandukus
New York, NY
Attorney


Greg was about to see the $250,000 question on yesterday's show when the buzzer sounded. He was feeling stressed then, but he's recovered now and ready to go.

Greg's mom and dad, Nancy and Theo, are rooting him on in the audience.

Greg has $73,500 in his bank. All of his lifelines are gone.


$250,000
Eventually revealing the answer GENERAL HOSPITAL, what was the first letter Vanna White ever turned on "Wheel of Fortune"?

A: S B: R
C: T D: N

Any guess Greg makes would be a complete guess. He walks away with $73,500.
Answer
C: T

I was already gone, and I don't know this one either.

Huh. That makes sense as it's the first consonant on the letter frequency chart for English: ETOANRISHDLF

Only linotype operators and codebreakers learn these, though. Well, and maybe good Wheel/hangman players.

I would have had to walk away at the $100K question from yesterday so I wouldn't have seen this one. From the comfort of my recliner I guessed the correct answer but I wouldn't even make an attempt.

Did you mean ETAOINSHRDLU? I've never seen the string you cited, but maybe it's more up-to-date than the one I learned.

I actually knew this one, because it appears anytime Wheel has a retrospective milestone show.
