(Sorry for the wait, was focusing on another project yesterday.)
Astronomy in the top right, trying to set up position. Here's your question.
One of the most recognizable constellations in the sky consists mainly of four bright stars including Betelgeuse and Rigel, and three distinct stars that form a "belt." It is sometimes called "The Hunter." For the box, give me it's more well-known name.

Correct!

We have $2,500 in the pot now, and we go back to George as we shuffle again.

Select, please, George.

For a block of Bill in the top center, Fads and Follies it is. Here's your question.
From a portmanteau two Japanese words meaning "egg" and "watch", a handheld digital pet was released in May 1997 in the United States by Bandai and became so popular that it sold 40 million units worldwide in a year. Not only that, it is still in active circulation today. For the box, name this popular virtual pet.

Yes, for the block!
*ding, applause*

Incidentally, those words are "tamago" and "uotchi." Now we go back to Bill. Where do you want to place your next X?

Great, Nels! Give me a bit, I'll add your name to the podiums, then I'll ask you for your choice.

(Okay, we're ready to go again, thanks again for Nels stepping in for Bill, so we'll just continue on as if Nels was already there. Appreciate you playing, Bill!) Okay, welcome, Nels, and for you to select from, we have this setup and $3,000 in the pot:
We have Funny Men, the 10 Grand Question, Double Dragon and The Olympics.
Where would you like to place your X?

The Olympics to block

If you get this box, Nels, you will indeed have a block. Here's your question on The Olympics:
The 1993 Walt Disney movie Cool Runnings tells a fictionalized version of the journey of a country's first unlikely bobsled team in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. Interestingly enough, they have had several appearances in bobsledding since then, but no medals. For the box, name the country.

The Olympics it is. Get this right and you'll be in a good position.
In the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, 14-year old Nadia Comaneci became the first gymnast to score a perfect ten in an event, the uneven bars. For the box, name the country she represented.

Judge says it's acceptable; the country is Romania, so you have the box!

*whooooooosh, bong*
An even $4,000 in the pot and we go back to Nels for his next selection.

Funny men to block

Post by samthebravesfan on Feb 17, 2024 1:18:37 GMT -5
Funny Men to block and it will come down to a final shuffle if you get this right. Here's your question.
After a stint on Saturday Night Live in the 90s, this comedian worked on many TV shows and movies and is probably known for his distinctive voice and sharp commentary comedy. His voice roles included being the titular character in Osmosis Jones, Marty the zebra in the Madagascar films, and the puppet Lil Penny in a series of 90s Nike ads. Name him.

Sorry, that's incorrect. Chris Rock is the answer. Things may get real interesting now as we shuffle.

Get this box and not only will you have Tic Tac Dough, you'll become our new champion with $8,500 in cash. Here's your question.
In the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Norway dominated the series of events in a skiing event, winning fourteen medals total. The discipline combines cross-country skiing with periodic rifle shooting challenges, and Norway has historically won the most medals in Winter Olympics history in the event. For Tic Tac Dough, $8,500 and the championship, name the event.
