Caption
  • The correct answer was actually 106.5 billion, but it was rounded down to 100 billion for the question.
  • Sam didn't know the answer, and he was sure he had banked enough time to make it to the tournament, so he decided to walk with $50,000. He guessed C: James Patterson, which would have been correct. He was also right about making it into the tournament.
  • First, Sam asked the expert, Joel Stein, who was not sure, so Sam phoned his friend, Daulton, who knew the answer.
