Uh, is there a way to report your own post to a mod? I meant that quote part to be in a spoiler box. :smack: :smack: …or can we assume that if you’ve read this far down in the thread that you’ve read the “answer” at least? ---

I got it right too. Now if only I knew a LOT more about EVERYTHING else. . . . ---

I didn’t get it either. Didn’t an earlier Web spoiler say that Ken was going to lose two weeks ago? ---

Got it. Does this bode well for me next week? One can only hope. ---

I guessed FedEx, which is 1) not white collar and 2) probably only 1 month is higher not 4. It was not a good guess. ---

I got it right away. My sister used to work for the firm in question, which may have helped. Either that, or I’m just really, really fucking smart. ---

This is at least the third ‘spoiler’ about his loss I’ve seen. He would have lost last week by the last one (or a little before that if there hadn’t been a tourney), on the ninth by the one before that. ---

I **never** get Final Jeopardy, but I got this one. “White collar” and the fact that I work with two of the seasonal employees in question helped a lot. GT ---

If this is true, it’s rather ironic considering he’s going to need the services of an excellent accountant after he’s done. Oh, and got it in about 10 seconds. ---
