ME: There you go. John, I technically accepted your answer, because what I have is SOUTH KOREA. By the way, Krav Maga is from ISRAEL. John and Frank still score $75 apiece and narrow Matt's lead (Applause). Moving on to WORLD HISTORY.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World have captured the imaginations of historians for centuries. I'll give the incomplete names of three of the Wonders. Pick one and fill in the blank with the correct word. Look at the screen.

(BUZZ!)
ME: The Swan and Dolphin were designed by MICHAEL GRAVES. John and Frank each score $75 for their right answers and narrow Matt's lead even further (Applause). Next question is on FOOD AND DRINK.
The cliche question of flight attendants is always "coffee or tea?" So, that's what I am going to ask you. I'll show you the names of three hot drinks. Pick one and tell me if it is a type of COFFEE, or a type of TEA. Look at the screen.

ME: All three right for $50 (Applause). Nicely done. Let's go on to FILMS.
The "Star Wars" saga, with its memorable characters, has been unparalleled in terms of film popularity. I'll name three characters from the saga. Pick one and tell me the FULL SUBTITLE of his or her FIRST "Star Wars" film. CAUTION: If you give the number, I will count you wrong. Look at the screen.

ME: That's right, and Matt and Frank score $75 each (Applause). By the way, Padme Amidala was first in THE PHANTOM MENACE. Got a good game going. Last question of the round is on ART.
Mexico's gift to the art world is the modern urban mural, and three well-known Mexican muralists were the contributors to this movement. I'll give their first names and last initial. Pick one and give me his complete last name. Look at the screen.
