Thanks for the notice. I'll drop that question, and let you know that the answer is Raymond Kroc.
McDonald's was originally started by brothers Dick and Mac McDonald, of San Bernadino, California, in 1948. By 1955 they had 8 outlets. With their permission, Ray Kroc opened their ninth outlet, in Illinois, and subsequently acquired the business from the McDonald brothers, and the business began its inexorable creep across the world.
With that said, I'll place in a new question for all 3 of you.
Question #3: What large mammal that mostly died out during the Pleistocene is a close relative of modern-day pachyderms?
PM me your buzzcodes now.

Antonio, Elephants are still here today, especially in Africa. Woolly Mammoths, however, did not, because they're the closest relatives to the pachyderm. ELEPHANTS
WOOLLY MAMMOTH
PTERODACTYL(Audience Applause)David gets another spin and goes to 3, while Kevin picks up 1 spin and goes to 4.  (Ding) (Ding)The woolly mammoth most closely resembles modern-day elephants. The woolly mammoth had much longer tusks (growing up to 16 feet) than today's elephants but their ears were much smaller in size. Players, here's the final regular question of the round before we go to the Big Spin Bonus Question. Question #4: Which Elizabethan sailor, and the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe, sailed in the Golden Hind? PM me your buzzcodes now. |

The man who sailed in the Golden Hind is indeed Sir Francis Drake! SIR FRANCIS DRAKE
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS
SIR WALTER RALEIGH(Audience Applause) So David goes to 4, Antonio gets 3 more spins and goes to 5, and Kevin also goes to 5. (Ding) (Ding) (Ding)The Golden Hind was originally named the Pelican; reportedly Drake renamed it during his circumnavigation, between 1577 and 1580, as he entered the Strait of Magellan. A replica which has completed many voyages similar to the original, including a world circumnavigation, was moved to the St Mary Overie Dock in London in 1996. And now players, it's time for the Big Spin Bonus Question. It's a multiple-answer question and you have to get all parts of the answer correct in order to go to the Big Spin Board. This comes as first-come, first-served basis, so no buzzcodes. In this round, you can win anywhere between 3 to 6 spins. Be careful, though, because if you buzz-in and if even one of your answers is wrong, both of your opponents will each get 2 spins. So, if you don't know it, don't buzz-in. And you have 24 hours to respond by the time the question is posted. If we're ready, here's the Bonus Question. BONUS: In boxing, there are 3 main organizations, each with their own belt. To be an undisputed champion, you must have all three belts at once. What are the initials for these organizations? 24 hours starts now. |

(Buzzer)And time's up. The answers we're looking for are The WBA (World Boxing Association), the WBC (World Boxing Council), and the IBF (International Boxing Federation). (Start at 00:29) Which means that at the end of the first Question Round, David has 4 spins and Antonio and Kevin each have 5 spins. And when we come back, these players will be taking those spins to the Big Board and see if they can win some mighty Big Bucks, so don't go away.

(Play between 00:00 and 00:08) DK: Welcome back, everyone, and here's the Big Board for Round 1!    And as you can see, we have over $75,000 in cash and prizes on the board, as well as some Whammies. You want to avoid them at all costs. However, we also have a few trips up there on the board as well, and to tell us one of the trips is our very own Rich Fields! Rich: Thank you, Dayo. Players, we got ourselves an exciting trip to Taiwan!(Audience Cheers) You and a guest will fly round-trip coach from Los Angeles to Taipei, Taiwan for a 6-night stay in a large room at the Amba Taipei Ximending Hotel. Daily breakfast and a full day of excursion at the Sun Moon Lake are included in this trip worth almost $7,100!(Audience Cheers and Applause)DK: OK, that's a very nice trip! Thank you, Rich. However, there is one prize that tops them all in this first round, and that's the $10,000 cash prize.  BIG BANK: $0And also keep this in mind players: You want to have the most money at the end of this round so you can have the advantage of going last into the final round. That's important. And you know what happens when you hit 4 Whammies, and you can pass your spins at anytime during your turn if you so desire. As always, the player with the least amount of spins is going first, and that's you, David. You have 4 spins. Are you to Press Your Luck? If so, let's go to the Big Board and get some Big Bucks! |
