ME: All three right for $50 each (Applause)! Great job on that one. Let's try a question on FOOD AND DRINK.
Many mixed drinks were designed to liven up plain old fruit juice. I'll name 3 mixed drinks. Pick one and tell me the fruit juice that makes up its key ingredient. Look at the screen.
A. Mimosa
B. Bloody Mary
C. Cosmopolitan
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Lenny, Kevin, James.
ME: Lenny starts again.

(Guys, remember that you don't have to wait for me to acknowledge an answer as right or wrong. You can go as long as it's your turn.)

ME: Kevin, you're incorrect - a Cosmopolitan has CRANBERRY juice. James, you gave more info than I needed, but I will accept your answer since you said ORANGE juice. Lenny and James score that time (Applause). Here are the scores....
KEVIN: $175
JAMES: $325
LENNY: $400
ME: Now, here's a question on LANDMARKS.
Many U.S. landmarks are so recognizable that you never really think about their addresses. I'll give three U.S. addresses, and you name the famous building or structure that is located there. Look at the screen.
A. 350 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, NY 10118
B. 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606
C. 100 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63102
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Lenny, James, Kevin.
ME: Lenny, start us off, please!

ME: It is currently called the WILLIS TOWER, but I will accept that answer. Kevin, what about the one in St. Louis?
|

I'll say 100 Washington Avenue is the St. Louis Arch.

|

Post by jmdarrall on Dec 17, 2016 11:49:23 GMT -5
ME: Its official name is the GATEWAY ARCH, but it is commonly referred to as "The St. Louis Arch," so I'll give you credit for it. Everyone adds $50 (Applause)! Great job on a hard question. Let's try a question on BUSINESS.
Although they are part of the American fashion image, athletic shoes are worn and made around the world. I'll name 3 foreign-made brands of athletic shoes. Pick one and name the country where it was founded. Look at the screen.
A. Adidas
B. Mizuno
C. Reebok
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, James.
ME: Kevin, begin.

ME: Once again, three-for-three (Applause)! Very nice, guys. Kevin has $275, James $425, and Lenny leads with $500. Our next question is on WORLD GEOGRAPHY.
Many of the world's nations consist of a group of islands. I'll name three islands. Pick one and tell me the archipelago country to which it belongs. Look at the screen.
A. New Providence
B. Mindanao
C. South Island
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Kevin, Lenny, James.
ME: Kevin, take it!

I'll say South Island is New Zealand.

ME: All three right again! Very good (Applause)! Last question in the round is on MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS.
One of the most prolific families of musical instruments is the string family. In that family, there are some instruments that are considered "bowed," like the fiddle, while others, like the harp, are "plucked." I'll name 3 string instruments. Pick one and tell me if it's considered a BOWED instrument or a PLUCKED instrument. Look at the screen.
A. Balalaika
B. Mandolin
C. Hurdy-Gurdy
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Kevin, Lenny.
ME: Go ahead, James.
