James Rowe
Brooklyn, NY
James is not only a philosopher but also a poet. He reads one he calls "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Terry says he'd like to put some beats with that. James has $58,600 in his bank but no lifelines remaining.
CLASSIC MILLIONAIRE:
$100K - If Texas seceded from the U.S., it would be the 39th largest country by land area, bigger than all but which of these?
A - Colombia
B - Iraq
C - France
D - Madagascar
"This is a tough one," James says. He then says that
Iraq is a big country and has a similar climate whereas France is surprisingly small. He knows for a fact that Texas is bigger than Colombia or Madagascar
.
Answer: A (Colombia)
James leaves with $25,000.

I'm pretty sure that Texas is larger than France or Madagascar. Not being sure enough of the others I'd use my JTQ.
