I keep trying to post here & board keeps locking me out.

3rd try:

5K: Pretty sure I knew, but also used same analysis as contestant re wheel material

7K: Took me a while to remember UK, like contestant

10K: Shame to see lifeline burned on Beatles lore my generation knows by heart

30K: A gen thing in the other direction, I guess;

I knew Winslett as Rose in Titanic was in 20s. Thought Jennifer Grey in Dancing, though more-convincing-looking teen, was too.

Never heard of Easy. Couldn't remember Lohan was in Mean. And since I've only seen clips of movie, wouldn't have helped.

Was sure 50/50 would leave Mean & Easy, so ATA.

If you really want to see a miscast movie, see All The Pretty Horses. So that they could use stars, almost all the teen parts are in 20s. Movie doesn't even pretend they're teens. Which makes their "1st love; you cannot thwart it" acting like teens, written in faithfulness to the book, as I heard in an interview (I haven't read book) implausable.

Was amazed when real-life 50/50 left Winslett, & so was contestant. How is the lovely but obviously-not-teenaged Winslett the best distractor?

50K: +1

Never heard of PM assassination, never heard of Spencer.

Wow to contestant.

Unless Millionaire is in the southern hemisphere, they have this backward. Waning moons (getting smaller) have the crescent on the left.
