GSC Wk 3, Plus Some Musings

It felt weird, having my last class today. And it's even weirder knowing that I'm not completely done yet, either. One more huge paper and then two finals, and that's it. As far as I'm concerned, I'm already mentally gone, but that's another matter altogether. It's disheartening to know that we have just a little over a week and a half left together on this floor, but I'm also looking forward to summer (a much-needed break).

But in the meantime, here are the answers from last week's Game Show Challenge:

Wheel Puzzles:

$1000: FOOD COURT

$2000: GOURMET

$3000: PAPERWEIGHT

6. Doctor/Surgery (6)

Tara: 1000 (Wheel) + 130 (Feud) + 97 (Feud Sweep Bonus) = 1227

On to Week Three. Let me clarify a few rules:

--For Feud, you are trying to guess all the answers on the survey at once. If you get them all, the points for that board are doubled.

--Wheel and Jeopardy are pretty self-explanatory.
