I thought game show contestants were screened for intelligence before
being allowed to participate. Apparently not. I can just pull my hair 
out watching them throw big prizes away by their failure to answer
questions like:

Who Just turned 50? Woody Allen or Mohammed Ali?
(hint: Ali was still in the boxing ring a few years ago)

Which side of the Mississippi is Illinois on? Missouri? Iowa?
(yes, they guessed wrong on all three)

I guess if they made the questions any harder, they wouldn't be able to give 
away any prizes.
