Technically, Tony Barber started before Jim Perry (re)started it for America. Anyway, let's see what's behind Jim Perry... Attachments:

Excellent pickup, $10 for your score.
Bit of a close game at the end of the first round already (Greg just $2 ahead of James), but still plenty of questions to go.
We'll take a short break and see how it goes.

And the results for our next round so far...
8. What anagram of “lamb” is another word for “ointment” or “lotion”?
(BUZZCODE: 90)
* Frank buzzes in - 74 *
FRANK: Balm
Correct; you're now sharing second place with James.
9. What planet shares its name with a chemical element with the symbol “Hg”?
(BUZZCODE: 67)
* Greg buzzes in - 49 *
GREG: Mercury
That's right; you're now $7 ahead of James and Frank.
10. In baseball, what is the more common term for the fielding position located between the second and third basemen?
(BUZZCODE: 20)
* Greg buzzes in - 21 *
GREG: Shortstop
Correct again, and extending your lead further.
11. What Mexican city beginning with “T” lies to the south of San Diego?
(BUZZCODE: 41)
* James buzzes in - 49 *
JAMES: Tijuana
Tijuana it is, and you're closing in on Greg's lead.
12. What film process forms part of the title of an Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical?
(BUZZCODE: 39)
No takers on this one? It was Technicolor (as in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat).
13. Black Angus, Jersey and Wagyu are all breeds of what bovine animal?
(BUZZCODE: 23)
GREG: Cow or bull.
We'll take your first answer of "cow", and that takes you to $47.

And Greg, you've just passed the $45 mark, which means you have the advantage to buy this.

It's a gift card for Anthony Squires, one of Australia's top tailoring companies. With this gift card, you can choose from a range of suits, shirts, casual knitwear and much more. The picture below is a small sample of what you could purchase with this $3,000 gift card. And it can be yours for just $10 from Anthony Squires and Sale of the Century. Greg - Think about this. A night on the town in one of those suits, or a smart t-shirt / shorts combo to go with the golf set you bought earlier. What's your normal taste in clothes? Attachments:

T-shirt and shorts around the house, jeans or sweatpants if I have to go outside. The only time I'd wear a suit is either church, a job interview, or if the job required it. Honestly, if I were a girl and miniskirts had pockets, I'd wear those. That way, I could tell if I was damp.
Although, I have heard that Anthony Squires is a good brand. Not as good as Tony Barlow Menswear, I've heard a lot of good things about them. I wouldn't pay ten bucks for that. Maybe $6, depending on how much cash you threw in. $7 at the most, but it'd have to be a good offer.

How about $7 - you'll still be $5 in front of James - and we'll add another $1,000 into the mix.
