Francesco: I'm gonna trust my gut on this one, again. I'm gonna go with building of a dam, final answer.

So much for Francesco being one and done®.
$50K: I knew this one even before the choices came up.
$50K: I never would've seen this question, but I would've said phenol.
$100K: This is one geography question that I do not know. PAF, please.
With the right PAF, I'll be going for $250K with 50:50 and STQ.

That could possibly be of use, given some of the questions asked on the show. I still have all my lifelines available.BBTranscriptTeam wrote: Francesco Caporusso

In the comfort of my recliner I guessed correctly on this, even though it seemed more likely that it was "A" or "B" (being more the provice of the Federal government). In the HS I probably would have gone straight to PAF.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25,000

I've heard the term "bromide" applied to commonplace sayings (usually found in books written in or about the 50s) but not to a person. But since I didn't STQ I don't have to worry about this one.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:STQ $50,000

OK, now it's time to STQ. I wonder what the other $100K question would have been.BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$100,000
