It Pays to Be Ignorant: June 2014

On Tom Cherry's Old Time Radio Show, we have a game show segment based on the classic OTR quiz show, It Pays to Be Ignorant. The rules of the game are simple. Our very own Judy Cole goes into our wonderful audience and picks out our lucky contestant. If this contestant answers our prize-winning question correctly, he or she wins! If he or she answers it incorrectly, well, they basically wasted our time.

However, once chosen, the contestant must first answer our three qualifying questions to prove if he or she has the right stuff to play It Pays to Be Ignorant! In June, Amy was our lucky contestant and these were her qualifying questions:

 

1. Do you often get positive feedback from your TED Talks?

 

2. Is Dr. Bunsen Honeydew your favorite Muppet?

3. Does the very thought of Madame Marie Curie radiate you with confidence?

 

Amy said no to two of the questions and yes to one, but, to quote the great troubadour Meatloaf, "Two out of three ain't bad!" Finding her answers satisfactory, the quiz master gave her this prize-winning question:

 

Question: What did the inventor of the door knocker win?
