Ryan: The game is all tied up. For our 3rd game, each square is worth 
Cy$1,000 and a win is worth Cy$4,000; so this game is far from over. 
Plus, we have 1 final Secret Square worth Cy$10,000.

(audience laughs) Actually, I'll say no.

Andy: Ryan ... Where on earth do you get these questions !!!  
Actually, I believe they can get acne, so I will have to disagree .

painted them with Rustoleum.

Ryan: Dana, Jerrie Mock of Columbus, Ohio, became the
first woman to do what?

Dana: She had the dubious distinction to ring the opening bell 
at the New York Stock Exchange on Black Monday back in
October of '87. Not the distinction I'd want, but she got her 
15 minutes of Warhol fame.

Andy: I dont think that is it, so I will disagree.

Ryan: Jerrie Mock of Columbus, Ohio, became the first woman to 
Complete a solo airplane flight around the world. X gets the Square.

 of people extolled the virtues and sang the praises of solar energy. 
Did "Sun Day" take place on a Sunday?

Brian: Well, let's see... 1978, the year I was born... I'm usually good at
these things, give me a second and I can count for you.  May 3rd was a... 
Saturday this year... No, and I can even tell you what day it was.
But first, my answer is no.

Washington Post.

Ryan:Andy, pick a square

Andy: I will take Tom to Block

Ryan: Tom, Did Keith Richards do anything signifcant in 
a Florida motel room?

Tom: Well let me tell you, Mrs. Richards didn't think so!
(Laughter) But yes, I'm sure he was, he was probably the
first person ever to read one of those Gideon Bibles in 
the nightstand. (Laughter)  But knowing Keith Richards, he
 probably recorded some kind of music in a motel room, 
so I'll say yes.

Andy: I think it is a well known fact that he came up with,
& started recording the song "Satisfaction" in a Florida 
hotel room, so I will AGREE.

Ryan: In May of 1965, Keith Richards came up with the
opening guitar riff to the Rolling Stones song "(I Can't 
Get No) Satisfaction". X gets the Square.

Which is more nutritious -- canned corn or fresh corn?

its vitamins and nutrients, so I am going to take a BIG guess .....
