That's wonderful to hear. Now, we actually listened to one of your requests. It came to our attention that gas was expensive and it wouldn't be feasible to just have a car. So, you told us you wanted a house, so that's what we're adding to the prize package for the tournament winner. Also, we're throwing in a motorhome because it's more practical than just a car. So, we listen to our contestants all the time, we want to thank you for that.

Alright then. Winner of tonight's match goes on to the Big Money Winner's Board for as much as $500,000 in cash. (audience cheers) Plus, they'll continue on to Thursday's two-game final. However, just because you don't come in first doesn't necessarily mean you're out. Try to get as high of a score as you can because the top three runners-up go into the "last chance" match on Wednesday. A lot of strategy is involved here. Are we ready to begin, Stacey? Stacey: Yes, we are. I declare this tournament to be open! $20 to start, let the games begin!(the board initializes) Marc: $20 Vahan: $20 James: $20
Stacey: Good luck. (Stacey exits) Greg: Alright, and we are away with the first qualifying game of the tournament. Good luck to everyone, Round 1. 1. From whom did the US buy the Virgin Islands? 2. What was the code name for the development of the A-bomb? 3. What compound makes up around 60% of the human body weight? 4. The March of Dimes was originally founded to help find a vaccine for what? 5. How many dots are there on a pair of dice?(buzzcodes and answers, please)
