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. Robert
