10K: Sweatshirt is a kid, still. Even younger when famous as the youngest of a group called Odd Future, I believe. Very homophobic & a gillion other bad things. Not Key's type I don't think. Tell audience that then ATA.

50K: prolly not bird species. To many trees even for CP. 50/50, then +1.

100K: I was going for Snow White too.

I would've guessed Snow White for the 100k question too, thinking that the "Snow White and the Red Shoes" trailer that was out last year (featuring a fat Snow White) was inspired by the original story.

Thanks everyone! I was so stuck in my head that Rapunzel is isolated the whole time ... but duh she has a male suitor!

And thanks for posting my Medium article. Again, sincere thank you to the people who run this site and the community that comments and maintains the transcripts. This site was my biggest resource in studying for the show and I would not have performed as well as I did if not for this. Thank you all!

I have seen a probably Sunday Morning (CBS show) piece on Earl Sweatshirt, whose Mom sent him back to his native South Sea Island birthplace (seriously!) to extract him from the creepy homophobic misogynistic rap scene he's in (couldn't keep him there after age 18).

I knew nothing of the other 3. Whereas contestant knew 3 of the 4 (Sweatshirt being one of them) & still couldn't nail it in one. Perversely, that gives me hope.

For when I never get back on the show, but that's another story.

I knew TED talks because they broadcast them on the NPR station I listen to. Whereon they spell out what TED stands for in the intro.

And I knew Queen Jane from the Ballad of Queen Jane, a really tedious English folk song (they're not *all* great) in which she supposedly asks Henry to have "them" "open my side & find my bay'bee", "find" having a somewhat diff meaning in those days. Its not as though they had to hunt for it. The meaning was as in "you will open the drawer & find my keys there".

This Caesarian is not recorded in history & is said to have been made up by the balladeers.

And going for those benches with no lifelines left was very gutsy. We need more of that on the show, even if you have to be young & cute to get to that point.

I would not have guessed there without help.

It's the only answer that made sense, as she reasoned out.

10K: What's worse on me is that I had read/heard that Keys was going out with Swizz Beatz at some point. All I could think at the time is "what a dumb name".
