ANAGRAMMED VIRGINIA PLACES
RED ALERT
ON THE TUBE (the $800 clue's about "Big Brother")
MIDDLE "W"
STUPID ANSWERS
YOU MUST BE PRESIDENT TO WIN

Picking up from where Andrew left off last night, Padraic goes DDH on the $400 Middle "W"...Gabe shortly takes a similar route...& eventually chooses the $600 SA, which is:

Leonardo da Vinci was born in 1452 near this tiny town in Toscana.

Gabe: "What is Vinci?" ($1,800)

$800:

Jomo Kenyatta was the first Prime Minister, then first President of this country.

Maggie: "What is Kenya?" ($1,800)

$1K:

Among the holdings of this British museum are the Elgin Marbles & the Rosetta Stone.

Maggie: "What is the British Museum?" ($3,600)

$400:

This unit of measure's the distance a burst of light travels in one yr., about 5.8 trillion miles.

Gabe: "What is a lightyear?" ($4K)- FIRST BREAK (Padraic: $800/Maggie: $3,600)

We'll take a break for those so that everyone can resume their DDH...& just after doubling to $1,600 on his own power w/ the $800 President, he finds it in its $600 box; Maggie's up to $5,200 now. The new titleholder's risking $1,400.

The International Radio & Television Society gave him its gold medal as "America's Most Accomplished Communicator".

"Who was Ronald Reagan?"...there's 3K American bucks. The last SA for two more $100 bills, chosen very late in this rd.:

This musical takes place in Philadelphia in the Summer of 1776.

Padraic: "What is '1776'?" ($3,800)

When the other two $200 answers have been seen, that board's done- Gabe has $5,200 & Maggie leads him by $2,600.

SOLE TS (unattempted): $600 (On the Tube)

DJ! Listings:
THE 4th CENTURY

Padraic starts right up the middle in World Literature...INSTANT DD. He'll wager $3K this time.

The last chapter of this 16th C. work is "An Exhortation to Liberate Italy from The Barbarians".

"What is The Prince?"...he was nodding just before responding & he should be for $6,800. After all but the $400 clue there's been shown, Maggie tries it once more w/ the middle Rodgers & Hammerstein play...& finally has one from the last remaining answer worth more than $400, the $800 Statue (besides that subject, the other three available are Healthcare, Slanguage and Rodgers & Hammerstein); Maggie has $15,400 & is just $200 over Padraic; Gabe's only $1,800 behind her. She also places a $3K wager on this (w/ less than a min. left in the rd.):

Baruch Spinoza stands in front of this world capital's city hall.

"What is Amsterdam?"...got it! When those Statues are finished, so is this DJ! Rd.
