Interesting, for the first time 4 lifelines have been chosen. But no guaranteed 32,000 for you. In your case, you're down one helper too but let's see how it goes. Let's begin! 50:50 Expert Switch Team 15 Pts. 1 Million 14 Pts. 500,000 13 Pts. 250,000 12 Pts. 125,000 11 Pts. 64,000 10 Pts. 32,000 9 Pts. 16,000 8 Pts. 8,000 7 Pts. 4,000 6 Pts. 2,000 5 Pts. 1,000 4 Pts. 500 3 Pts. 300 2 Pts. 200 1 Pts. 100

Haha, hopefully not the first. I suppose the pedologist would have been your downfall but the best thing is, here comes a completely new, random stack. Do you wish to continue the tradition with 3 lifelines or opt for the 4th?

Last Saturday we began our quest in North America. Today we'll finish there. Now let's see how @Olympian1010 does on his own run. Olympian1010 ♦ ♦ United States of America Let me know once you're ready to go.

Again, thanks for playing. @hckosice We will do all of that again with @Olympian1010 in a couple of minutes.

Yes, I stitched flags in the past and forgot that white stripe.

@hckosice And I'll tell you that the flag of Malaysia has 13 stripes for the 13 states and another one for the 3 federal territories. That makes it one more than the US flag. Pts. 125,000 Compared to the U.S. Flag, the national flag of Malaysia has ...? ♦ A: one stripe more ♦ B: one stripe less ♦ C: ♦ D:

Alright, well no reason to be sorry. I say thank you and I tell you that you won 64,000 Points while others have to get there first. TOTAL WINNINGS ♦ P t s . 6 4 , 0 0 0 ♦

If you stopped now you have 64,000. Give the wrong answer: 32,000. Give the right answer: 125,000.

In case you were going for C, it did. As of now, you can say I'm out and you'll be in the leading position with 64,000 points. You can try your 50% shot but you will lose 32,000 if you miss.

Pts. 125,000 Compared to the U.S. Flag, the national flag of Malaysia has ...? ♦ A: one stripe more ♦ B: one stripe less ♦ C: ♦ D: That eliminates the possibility of Malaysia's flag having the same amount of stripes but it is now one more or one less.

You can still narrow it down and see what happens if you wish.

@hckosice Here is your switched question for the same value. Pts. 125,000 Compared to the U.S. Flag, the national flag of Malaysia has ...? ♦ A: one stripe more ♦ B: one stripe less ♦ C: equally as many ♦ D: three stripes more

Good thing you switched then, it was the apple.

Clueless? Yes, you can switch. Any idea or none at all?

@hckosice Now still with 2 lifelines, we have a look at 125,000 points... Pts. 125,000 In the painting "The Son of Man" by René Magritte, what fruit obscures the face of the man? ♦ A: Apple ♦ B: Orange ♦ C: Pineapple ♦ D: Watermelon Question by OlympicIRL Pt

And a podiatrist has to do with feet.

I suppose @mrv86 would have not been a good lifeline here. Yes, a pedologist is a scientist who studies origins, composition and distribution of soils. Children is "paedo".

But soils is right! Pts. 64,000 What does a pedologist study? ♦ A: Prepubescent children ♦ B: Feathers ♦ C: Anatomy of feet ♦ D: Soils ♦ P t s . 6 4 , 0 0 0 ♦
