(ding)That's right, and you pick up another $25! (audience cheers) Vahan: $35 [G2R2: PART 2] Marc: $85
Well, Marc, with you building off a $50 lead, I don't expect you'll be interested in the CashCard next round. Still, stranger things have happened on this show. Let's get back to the questions. 1. What is the common word for a weight suspended from a pivot that can move freely? 2. What mythological creature was the longtime mascot of Mobil Oil? 3. What 70s game show host hosted a corporate game show for Mobil Oil titled The Bottom Line?(buzzcodes and answers via PM, please)

1. What is the common word for a weight suspended from a pivot that can move freely? (buzzcode: 80) *Marc buzzes in (57)*Marc? Marc: PendulumThat's correct, Marc up to $90. (ding) Vahan: $35 [G2R2: PART 2] Marc: $90
2. What mythological creature was the longtime mascot of Mobil Oil? (buzzcode: 32) *Marc buzzes in (40)*Marc? Marc: Pegasus
Yes, indeed. Marc with a $60 lead. (ding) Vahan: $35 [G2R2: PART 2] Marc: $95
3. What 70s game show host hosted a corporate game show for Mobil Oil titled The Bottom Line? (buzzcode: 27) (no one answers) (buzzer)Perhaps that question was a bit too esoteric. Bill Cullen is who we were looking for. I can see everyone at home Googling "Bill Cullen" right now. Vahan: $35 [G2R2: FAME GAME] Marc: $95
[FAME GAME]Well, it's time for another Fame Game. We're adding a $15 Money Card to the board, the Major Wager is still up there, along with a few surprises and cash prizes. This time, looking for a famous THING. (whoosh as the puzzle board appears on screen)

Yes, it is indeed YouTube. Nicely solved, Vahan. Good anticipation. Full clue reads "Video sharing website owned by Google". I use it all the time. Stacey, where is the $15 Money Card?

(he stops)
Greg: Landing at #4. What's back there? (#4 reveals....) Steve: (VO) Behind #4 we have $14,000 in cash!(audience cheers) Greg: Well, $14,000 in cash is always nice, except when you're trailing. We take the Major Wager off the board. Stay by your phones, America, because the way this game is going, we might just as well call one of you. CashCard is next. Vahan: $35 [NEXT: MIKE + THE MECHANICS!] Marc: $95
(main theme to commercial, cheers and applause, fade to commercial)
(fade in, main theme closes, cheers and applause)Greg: Welcome back to $uper $ale, our one-hour primetime bonanza. We're in Game 2, Round 3, CashCard. Stand by your phones, because we could be calling you for a chance at $50,000. Vahan: $35 [G2R3: PART 1] Marc: $95
Marc has a $60 lead over Vahan, $95 to $35. That lead will be very important, because after the Century Round, we'll be adding up the scores from this game and the last game. In the meantime, let's get back to the questions. 1. Who wrote the 1897 horror novel Dracula? 2. Starting with "F", what is floating wreckage of a ship called? 3. Albert DeSalvo was better known as "The Boston" what? 4. In addition to the other eleven gifts, what did my true love give to me on the twelfth day of Christmas? 5. Give me the next line to this #1 hit by Mike + The Mechanics.And joining them as lead vocalist, Paul Carrack! (audience cheers as the band starts up, with the Orlando Deanery Boychoir providing backing vocals) Paul: Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door
I know that I'm a prisoner To all my father held so dear I know that I'm a hostage To all his hopes and fears I just wish I could have told him in the living years
Oh, crumpled bits of paper Filled with imperfect thought Stilted conversations I'm afraid that's all we've got
You say you just don't see it He says it's perfect sense You just can't get agreement In this present tense We all talk a different language Talking in defense
(Choir: Say it loud) Say it loud, (Choir: say it clear) whoa, say it clear (Choir: You can listen)
Paul/Choir: as well as you hear
Paul: (Choir: It's too late) It's too late (Choir: when we die) Whoa, when we die

I love me some Paul Carrack. He was great on Squeeze's one and only album with him.

2. Starting with "F", what is floating wreckage of a ship called? (buzzcode: 21) *Marc buzzes in (82)*Marc? Marc: FlotsamAlso one of Ursula's eels. Right again. (ding) Vahan: $35 [MARC LEADS BY $70] Marc: $105

4. In addition to the other eleven gifts, what did my true love give to me on the twelfth day of Christmas? (buzzcode: 61) *Vahan buzzes in (60)*Vahan again? Vahan: 12 Pipers Piping(buzzer)Oh no.... 12 drummers drumming. Or, lords a-leaping or Ladies dancing, anything like that. We checked various sources, and there were only 10 to 11 pipers. Not 12. Vahan: $35 [MARC LEADS BY $70] Marc: $105
5. Give me the next line to this #1 hit by Mike + The Mechanics. And joining them as lead vocalist, Paul Carrack! (audience cheers as the band starts up, with the Orlando Deanery Boychoir providing backing vocals) Paul: Every generation Blames the one before And all of their frustrations Come beating on your door

(buzzcode: 94) *Marc buzzes in (36)*Marc? Marc: “To admit we don’t see eye-to-eye”That is absolutely correct. (ding) Vahan: $35 [MARC LEADS BY $75] Marc: $110
Mike and the Mechanics with the Orlando Deanery Boys' Choir, everyone! (audience cheers) [CASHCARD] Vahan: $35 [CASHCARD PRICE: $75] Marc: $110
Well, Marc, here we are. You lead by $75. Now, I'm sure I know what you're going to do, and so does most of America, but NBC Broadcast Standards and Practices requires me to ask you anyway. We have $50,000 on offer and it'll cost you $75 to play CashCard. That would put you back in a tie. You could make as much as $55,000 depending on what cards you pick, but considering what you're playing for, it just feels like a moot point. Would you like to play or not?

And that's exactly what we thought you'd say. Let's get someone on the T-Mobile CashCard Hotline. (Phone rings, T-Mobile jingle)(I press a button and it picks up) Hello? ??: Hello?Greg: Hi, this is Greg Palmer, from $ale of the Century. Congratulations, you're on the T-Mobile CashCard Hotline! Who are you, and where are you from? ??: (VO, over phone) Leah Hunt from Holyoke, MASSACHUSETTS! (she lets out a bloodcurdling scream of excitement) Greg: I know! WVIT area. You've just won $5,000 in cash and a trip for five to Walt Disney World in Florida! (another scream of excitement, followed by some word salad) Greg: OK, OK Leah. I know you're excited. I was wondering if you'd do me a favor. We need you to pick a suit, then we'll start up the CashCard machine. If you get $5,000 and pick again, we'll give you another $5,000 and you get to pick again. If you get the $50,000, well, you win $50,000. Get the $15 or the Take $5, and we don't give you anything extra. So, which suit do you want? (as determined by Random.org) Leah: HEARTS!(Stacey selects Hearts) Stacey: Good luck, Leah.Greg: It's a good thing I didn't have that earpiece to my ear. For $50,000.... Stacey, show us Hearts!

Well, Marc, you just made a very lady $10,000 richer. Let's get back to the questions.
1. Achilles' heel was the result of him being dipped in what mythical river? 2. What is the maximum number of lines of symmetry a rectangle can have? 3. What book tells the story of the Harris family fleeing to Canada to escape slavery?

It must be the nerves. Is that it, Vahan? Are you starting to get nervous?
