(Alex: John, you threw us a bit of a curve by going to the $200 instead of the first clue in the column and I think I helped confuse our computer operator by saying "first time in the category." I meant first time and not the first clue. As a result we have used the first clue; you are free to select anything you want including the $200 which remains up there.)
