Rick Fox:

• His game started last week, you can see his progress here.
• Question 4 (2nd Grade Music): “The bassoon is a member of what musical family? A. Woodwind, B. Percussion, C. Brass” He goes with brass but is incorrect because the answer is woodwind. Luckily, Olivia has the right answer and saves him.
• Question 5 (2nd Grade Spelling): “How many times does the letter “y” appear in the following word? Beautiful” Rick isn’t fooled by this trick question and goes with 0. He’s correct for $25,000.
• Question 6 (4th Grade U.S. Geography): “In what U.S. city do the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers meet and form the Ohio River?” He peeks at Francesca’s paper. She wrote Missouri for some reason so Rick guesses St. Louis instead. Unfortunately the answer is Pittsburgh so Rick flunks out with $25,000.

• Question 6 (3rd Grade Social Studies): “What U.S. city was once known as New Amsterdam when it was part of a Dutch colony?” She copies Francesca’s paper because she has no idea. Francesca wrote New York, which is the correct answer.
• Question 7 (4th Grade Ancient Cultures): “In Greek mythology, what was the name of the three headed dog that guarded the underworld?” She peeks at Jonathan’s paper and he wrote Cerberus. She goes with his answer and is correct.
• Question 8 (5th Grade Music): “Eighteenth century classical music composer Wolfgang Mozart was born in what present-day country?” She has no idea so she drops out with her $100,000. The answer was Austria.
