$ALE AT EPCOT [NBC]: Episode 6 [Week 1, Day 1]

[palmer7]

The PlayStation 5? Ha! Well, I think we're going to actually have a game out for that. Is that right? (offscreen chatter) Yes, yes we are going to have a game available for the PlayStation 5.... but it's not going to have me in it? What'd they do, bring back Jim Perry from the dead?

Personally, I'm a Nintendo guy. What are some of your favorite games?

[bowlerraymonf]

I love playing NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto.

[palmer7]

I don't play either of those games, but I understand they're both really good. Anyway, good luck to you. Stacey, would you please do the honors?

Stacey: I sure will. Audience, remember to keep track of the scores for the $5 Contest this week. We'll take the tens and ones digits from each score and that will determine our winning bill. $20 to start.

Richard: $20

*Greg takes two cotton candy sticks, brings one to James, enjoys the other"

James, this is top-notch cotton candy don't you think?

[jman8606]

Yea! Would love to make some at home as well!

[palmer7]

Well, for $7 you can. I mean, it's not like you have any incentive to score over $100, and I don't have any incentive to offer you cash to go along with it, not when we're already giving you $4,000.

[jman8606]

Right

[palmer7]

(I take another bite into my cotton candy) So, are you going to buy, or what?

[jman8606]

Buzz

[palmer7]

He's going to buy! (audience cheers, I walk back to my lectern with my cotton candy)


Richard: $25
Raymond: $20
James: $23


We take the $7 off your score, you've got a cotton candy machine, $4,000 in cash, the keepsake stuffer thingy, and some cotton candy. This is good. Richard, you've got a $2 lead, we'll get you and Raymond some cotton candy later on. Better yet, cotton candy for everyone! (audience cheers) Back to the questions, I'll have to save this for later.

1. What bone, to which your ribs are attached, gets its name from the Greek for breastbone?
2. What nursery rhyme character was warned that the cow was in the corn?
3. Which character narrates all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories?

(buzzcodes and answers, please)

[palmer7]

1. What bone, to which your ribs are attached, gets its name from the Greek for breastbone?
(buzzcode: 52)
*James buzzes in (44)*
James?
James: Sternum?
Yes, that's right, and you're back in the lead.

Richard: $25
Raymond: $20
James: $28



2. What nursery rhyme character was warned that the cow was in the corn?
(buzzcode: 61)
*James buzzes in (48)*
James: Little Boy Blue
"Little boy blue, come blow your horn". That boy would become Herb Alpert.
(ding)


Richard: $25
Raymond: $20
James: $33


3. Which character narrates all but four of the Sherlock Holmes stories?
(buzzcode: 74)
*Raymond buzzes in (55)*
Raymond?
Raymond: Watson
Elementary.
(ding)


Richard: $25
Raymond: $25
James: $33



Interesting fact, Sherlock Holmes never said, "Elementary, my dear Watson" in the novels. And who says this show isn't educational?

[FAME GAME]

Time for the Fame Game. With James leading by $8, a $10 Money Card would be most helpful, as would the Major Wager that's hiding up there. That's become quite popular. Players, we're looking for a famous THING.
