$100K: Well, I am obviously stuck with this question since I already used my Switch. Take the 50:50 and hope that it doesn't leave 112,000.
$100K #2: I knew this one before the choices came up.

The second one really did seem like a relatively easy 100K Q to anybody who has done a bit of studying. Seemed like pretty basic trivia on flags.
The first one on the other hand was another of those WGAS guesses. Seems to be have been a number of those lately. More like a Duel type of question where few people are going to really know the answer with any certainty and the intent is to get you to burn up chips.

Agreed. And even if you read an article about this somewhere and the 82,000 figure stuck in your mind, the distractors could cause some doubt.

Kinda like eight seconds or eight minutes.
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.
