10K: I would have guessed shrimp, which I neither cook nor eat, & gone out here. I obviously boil my eggs, which I don't do all that often, for too long.

50K: Would have thrown all lifelines at it but probably gone home without guessing here.

The examples for "King" are "Lord of the Rings, Return of the King", "All the King's Men", and "The King's Speech".

Some have brought up the argument that "King" and "King's" are not the same word.

I knew that The Godfather Part IIwon Best Picture (the only sequel to do so), but wasn't sure if the original had done so. As for ROTK, does the official Oscar nomination have the full name (The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King)? I would probably have used my 50:50 (if still available).
