With the exception of lakes, everything after medical disorders could pose problems for me.

So far, so good for me on the first five.

This was kind of a sloppy question, as it is customary to include ".00" for an even dollar amount. That would be 8 zeroes.

I agree with you and had the same thought when I saw the question. On the other hand, the fake checks used on the show do not have digits to show the cents. Maybe the writers thought they were real checks.

I had the same thought. With the damned clock, I'd barely have time for "six before the decimal point plus two after, final answer."
