HS Round 1 Question 1

Ryan: Phil, your the champion, pick a square.

Phil: Let's start things off with Jay.

 

 

(audience cheers)

Ryan: Jay, True or false: Florence Nightengale was the first woman in the US 
to receive a medical degree.

Jay: No, but she was the first woman in the US to say "Mel, kiss my grits!" 
(audience laughs) IIRC, FLorence Nightengale was a nurse.  I don't think you 
need a proper medical dregee for that.  I'll say false.

Phil: I agree.

Ryan: Elizabeth Blackwell was actually the first woman in the US to receive a 
medical degree -- back in 1849. X gets the square.

 

 

(ding; audience applause)

Ryan: Rick, pick a square.
