Once the first category's completed & David takes out the first Actual Police Blotter Report, he goes DDH on the $400 U.S. City Nickname...he just missed it & has to sit on $800 while Jared has it on the $600 one & $2,600; Kim's just gotten started because she has $200. For $5,200 or $0:

New Mexico: "The alien capital of the world"

"What is Roswell?" transforms his current green to $5,200! He remains in LGT at halftime w/ six grand; Kim's in 2nd place w/ $2,400.

THE "ND"

Jared has a VDD on the $1,600 Ancient Civilization & w/ $14,200, is $1,001 shy of being back in LGT, because Kim has $7,600; David's gotten back to square one. Jared bets $4K on this from Sarah:

At its peak in the 14th Century, this West African empire that bears the name of a present-day country almost covered half a million square miles.

"What is the Malian Empire?"...acceptable for $18,200! The final one's within Working Overtime at the Company...& the DDS is his via the $1,600 square; now he's at $26,200, but Kim's slightly within reach at $14K, $8K ahead of David (he originally got the last "ND" incorrect, but the ruling was reversed). Jared will bet $3K here.

I'm not leaving my office at this co. until I finish putting together a set of our Klubbo nesting tables.

"What is IKEA?"...right again!
