10K: rigged 50/50 will leave athletes & singers, & this isn't something audience is likely to know, or +1 unless they've read it somewhere. Guess singers.

20K: well, being Jewish I remember when I read Jews are 2%. Maybe less these days.

Lutheran is only one denom of Protestant, so eliminate them. Mormons just not that large, I don't think.

That leaves Catholics.

I saw one of these at the Library yesterday. Maybe I should have picked it up instead of the two John Sandford Prey novels I got. I also got Holes -- it's good, but I have to admit the movie's better. Characters are better defined and in more detail, Cave Man's parents and grandfather are beautifully written, also the attorney and A.G. at the end, which get short shrift in the book.
