CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: John Giambrone is from New York. He's an investment banking analyst. And after graduating from Yale, you decided to abroad...
John: Yep.
Alex: And travel for a while. Where did you go and for how long?
John: I was away for about four months out of the six after graduating, so I went to Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Australia, Scotland.
Alex: That's wonderful. Terrific. Okay.
Alex: Marcy Lehman from Marion, Iowa. You and your mother have a bit of a contretemps over how to spell your name?
Marcy: Yes. My full name is longer, but when we shorten my name, my mother spells it one way, and when I learned cursive in the first or second grade, I liked the way it looked with a "Y" better. My mom, to this day, still insists on spelling it with an "I".
Alex: All right. I hope you guys will solve your--
Marcy: I'm pretty sure on national television, it's good now.
Alex: Okay.
Alex: Sean Udicious is our champion. Within 24 hours of finding out that you were gonna be on our program, you discovered that you had become...
Sean: An uncle, which was very exciting. Soon after I got the phone call saying that I'd be coming out, I got another phone call from my brother-in-law saying that the baby was gonna be coming. And she came, and it was literally the best 24 hours of my life.
Alex: All right, well, good for you. That's nice.

(John: What is the NAACP?)
VOCABULARY $400: Carl Sagan defined this word as "the opposite of chaos"
(Marcy: What is order?)
(Alex: The opposite of chaos is [*].)
"SECURITY" $400: FDR sent it to Congress as the Economic Security Bill; Congressman Frank Buck suggested the name change

(John: What is shriek?)
VOCABULARY $800: Latin medeor, "to heal", gives us this word for a cure
(Marcy: What is medicine?)
SHARK TANK $1000: (Alex: Alright. Damon John has the clue.) Yes, a tracking device for missing socks is unique, but this app needs to be this adjective, meaning protected by patent, copyright, or trademark
