There has to be 10 people on the planet who would know the answer to this question and about one that would care. This was a very mean question. He was doing so well up til then.

$25K: My father, uncle, and grandfather all served in the Navy, so I have no clue on Army unit questions. I live in Kentucky and one of our state's most famous Army divisions is the 101st Airborne Division (known better as the Screaming Eagles) at Fort Campbell. Hundreds of people make up that division. I'm leaning toward division, but I better PAF first to back me up.

$50K: I can safely eliminate Gorby, as he has only one daughter. STQ.

$50K #2: Wheelhouse!

$100K: I've seen commercials for "Stretchin' to the Classics" and "Disco Sweat" on TV before, so I can eliminate them. I'm leaning toward A, but I want to ATA first.

The Richard Simmons question? Or the twins question?

I had the right hunch about the twins, but without any solid reason for backing up that hunch, I'd probably also STQ. The Magyar question was a slam dunk. And then I'd have to burn some lifeline on Mr. Simmons. :roll:

Curiously, if this was a Fastest Finger question, the answer would have been ABCD! 8)

I would have gone down in flames on the 25K question. I wouldn't have had my ATA (no clue on the Lord of the Rings question) and felt fairly certain (and would have gone for it after using 50/50) that the right answer to 25K was brigade.

No problems until the first 50K Q. Also knew the second 50K Q and would have likely burned all the rest of the lifelines trying to figure out the 100K Q.

I've been in doctors' offices and never seen BAM - usually it's one of the advice shows.

50/50 leaves A & B
Back in my military school days we learned that three companies constitute a battalion, three battalions constitute a brigade, and three brigades constitute a division. The exact numbers change from time to time, but division is always the largest. Above that, FWIW, is the corps, and above that is the "army" (as in the 3rd Army).

No idea, so time to use lifelines. I don't think the audience will know it, and 50/50 won't help, so let's STQ like Justin did.

Much better...this one I can answer with no help.

No idea, but since I still have PAF, I use it here.
