5K: Well, I know its not Treasury Sec. And while I suspect its the character from the TV show, I'd not tell them & ATA.

10K: Sad that contestant couldn't ID dead astronauts, & that host didn't even tell her after her answer.

I guessed correctly, but I don't know if I would have gone for it on the show. ATA would be nice if the show still taped in NYC; I'd probably try 50:50 first just to see what remained.

Luckily for contestant, Liberty Q wasn't asked of them. Most QotDs were a show Q once, though.

Why luckily? He's from Brooklyn. It might have been a slam dunk.

Estonut says of contestant: "he's from Brooklyn".

Ren Peir is a woman. I know this not only from transcript post but from watching show.
