Game Show Challenge: Let's Play!

So here's how this is going to work (dunno if anyone checks this anymore, but let's bring it back!):

Each week I will post a series of game show challenges--the games may be different each week. In the comments section, post your responses. We are on an honor system here; what I would do is copy the questions, click the comments link, quickly scroll down to the text box and paste the questions, and play the week's challenge. After you are finished you may proceed to read the comments and smack yourself over the head for stupid misses, have your "aha" moments, et al.

For discussion of the questions, please do not post in this comments section. You can post comments on the questions here. Please use this comments box for answers.

Without further delay...enjoy.

    AND ALL I KNOW IS THAT IT AINT A BECAUSE JOHN STEINBECK WAS BORN IN MONTEREY BAY, CALIFORNIA. I LEARNED THAT THIS SUMMER.
