Pidge picks the DD $800 deep In Conclusion just after starting her lectern w/ six bills; Russ leads Susan $2800-$1K.

The last day these could be advertised on U.S. TV was Jan. 1, 1971.

“What are cigarettes?”…the 1st segment ends positively.

ATTEMPTED LT: $1800
SOLE UNATTEMPTED TS: $800 (Money Slang- time elapsed on the $200 & $400 such terms)
TOTAL LT: $2600

CS:

Pidge: $3K/Russ: $4,600/Susan: $1,400

DJ!:
HORRIBLE HISTORY
LANGUAGE LAB
LITERARY LONDON
COMING SUBTRACTIONS (two movie titles required per response)
NEWS TERMINOLOGY
FROM DAWN TIL DUSK (each word’s one that comes in between those two words in a dictionary)

Midway in the Language Lab is a DD for the female challenger w/ $1800; Russ just gave back $800. Susan elects to try & double up.

From words meaning “through” & “speak”, it’s a regional form of a language often w/ its own words.

“What is dialect?” is right. Susan finds the other one at the $1600 Literary London answer too & she’s the leader now w/ $10,400, followed by Russ (seven big ones) & Pidge (five). She wagers Pidge’s bank.

Zadie Smith’s novel White Teeth was about two immigrant families in London: one from Bangladesh & one from this Caribbean nation.

“What is Jamaica?”…nice. This time, those Beeps of Time catch the two least-valuable clues under Coming Subtractions.

ATTEMPTED TS AT THE START: $400 (Language Lab)
UNATTEMPTED LT: $4800 (last three clues for News Terminology)
TOTAL DJ! LT: $5200
