THE LAST "OUT"

Following the first -ology once 1813's been cleared to start this rd. of gameplay...John steals a DD from the $800 U.S. River at $2,200; Kerri's still leading the champ, $6,400-$6K. John also attempts a doubler, but on this:

"What are The Adirondacks?"...he has climbed closer to the competition w/ $4,400! The last one...is found by Kerri from the middle -ology (John was one off there) & at eight biggies, she's $1,200 ahead of John & $2,800 over Mark. She sticks w/ the face value of:

From the Greek for "beyond the soul", it's the study of phenomena that cannot be explained by traditional science.
