On the second bit of Official State Stuff, Kirk unleashes the DD & has $600 to J's $800; the champ goes for the G-spot.
To represent the abundance of WA's forests, historian C.T. Conover coined this nickname.
"What is 'The Evergreen State'?"...that's correct. At halftime, he has $4K in comparison to J's $3K & Patti's $200 (but she was $800 on the bad side earlier).

This London art museum opened in 1897, w/ much of the gallery being a gift from the industrialist for whom it's named.
"What is The Tate?"...as luck would have it, it also has the last name of a female MMA fighter (& the name of an array of NYC apartments)- right for $10,100! I have a feeling the other DD's behind an Asian Language...& I was right- J got it behind its $2K one & has $16,400, currently $6,300 ahead of Kirk; Patti currently has $6,800. J gambles $4K.
Sundanese & Dutch are two of the major languages spoken in this island nation.
