(Alex: I'll tell you what I'm going to do here, because I neglected to do it at the top of the show. I neglected to point out that "Adventure" was in quotation marks and that means it is going to appear in all of the correct responses. So let's reverse the scores. We'll give them back the monies they lost, one hundred dollars to each of them. We'll give Bill a correct response. I misled you inadvertently because it is [*].)
