In the bank.

If anyone watches the end credits or keeps them on, the woman who won, Natalie Lips, was eminently relationsionable, and they came out with a shot of her sparkly high heels showing off a tattoo on her ankle.

Do I get points for knowing who Brady was, then knowing the name of what the answer was famous for, yet not knowing what it was?

No. Because if you knew the name of what the answer was famous for, you should've easily gotten the name of the person. That is what I did.

However, since I am the only correct respondent, and upon further reflection, I am going to ding myself for misspelling.

HNIC, I got it right. I think the rule for spelling is if it has the correct number of syllables and isn't completely ridiculous, you're fine.

howard · Post by **howard** » Fri Sep 18, 2015 1:46 pm

sorry, I miscounted and missed that you got it right. I really don't know if they would've allowed my answer or not. (I omitted one letter.) In any event, it is not important.

When I read the name of the answer, the other word popped into my head, but I didn't know what the thing was.

Started the season 2-3. Howard, did the way you spelled Deguerre change the way it would have been pronounced by adding or taking away a syllable? That's the rule.
