The relative results of South Africa, Australia, Japan and South Korea here could be Exhibit A in the landmark ‘Is TD Gambling or a Game of Skill?’ case.

I have no idea what the President's Cup even is and wanted to drop it but needed the drop worse later. I figured Gary Player being from South Africa would make that answer a fairly safe bet.

This was an awesome question! I knew this existed back in the day as a counterpart to the Ryder Cup for the rest of the world, but have not heard anything about it at all, even before the Ryder Cup became a competitive thing.

You punk'd a lot of boardies with this one! I'll get down and keep them company soon :).

All I know about her is she's done a crap-ton of snarky commercials for Hilton Hotels, and I vaguely recognize I've seen her in something each time she shows up there. I guess that's one step up from a Kardashian...or demonstrates how very old I've gotten.

Not sure if I should kill myself or be happy that everyone knows I don't cheat.

I predicted Trapper John would sheep but went there anyway.

I think comparing her to the Kardashians is a bit harsh. I loved the Pitch Perfect movies, even if they sort of diminished in quality (as a lot of trilogies do), and I thought she displayed some semblance of actual talent there.

Out of five questions, I currently have three sheep, one almost-sheep, and a singleton. I feel like I’m getting close to the TD equivalent of the Golden Sombrero.

6. Hoop Hoop Hooray (416) - March Madness coverage on CBS is preceded by The Price is Right in my time zone. Name one of these games on the show hosted by Drew Carey.

"Yodely guy" climber moves up mountain slope based on accuracy of pricing guesses (Cliff Hangers)
30 seconds to guess correct price for two prizes - told "higher" or "lower" after each bid (Clock Game)
Successfully putting a golf ball into a hole wins a car (Hole in One (or Two))
Given seven $1 bills and shown first digit in price of a car, must guess remaining numbers and have $1 left at end to win (Lucky Seven)
A car and two prizes represented by giant locks; try to win keys that will unlock those prizes (Master Key)
Incorrect price for a car is shown, guess whether each digit needs to be moved up or down to get correct price (One Away)
Drop flat discs (or "chips") down a pegboard towards slots representing different amounts of money (Plinko)
In 45 seconds, try to match four prices with correct prizes; pull lever to see how many are correct and can make changes until time runs out (Race Game)
A spread for the price of a prize is displayed as a vertical scale, win by stopping "finder" so that right price is within red window (Range Game)
Draw balls from a hopper (formerly discs from a bag) - three with "X", five with digits in the price of a car (3 Strikes)

No answer went unused, but one proved to be far more popular than the rest…

THAT'S where I saw her! Thanks. The only one who really registered for me in that first movie was Rebel Wilson, so that's probably why I was vague on her. Haven't seen the others.

You're right, she was fine in that.

I've learned to tread cautiously around sports questions because the sports knowledge of several folks here (including yourself) is VERY deep. I know people think along the same lines as you do. Luckily for me, I just couldn't quite pull Redhawks. U of Seattle is back in D-1 now, but my college basketball knowledge mostly lies in NCAA March Madness 06 on the Playstation (:D) and U of Seattle wasn't in that game.

I got lucky on the ACC clue though.. not only that no one else picked that one, but that I considered the Big East before realizing that a Pac-10 centered bowl likely wanted a big-name opponent, which you're more likely to get in the ACC. (Disgruntled Boston College football fan here, a Big East school at that time. Looks like there were only four or so competitive Big East teams that year). That lucky break (sort of) makes up for the fact that I talked myself out of my own damn home state in favor of Arizona in Q4. :roll: :lol:

Looking forward to the rest of the reveal.

that is true...have learned that people on here do have a decent amount of sports knowledge, but that school was one i thought nobody would know since they are relatively new to division 1...i learned their name their first year back in divsion 1 when they beat the crap out of obama's brother-in-law's oregon state by like 50 as close to 50 point underdogs
