ODE TRIP
Andy has a slim $200 advantage over Doug, $2,200-$2K; Sue has eight Benjamins to begin. The Daily Double's hiding beneath the $800 clue regarding the 1870s & Doug hits it w/ $2,600 & trails Andy by four bills; Sue's tripled to $1,800. Doug wagers two big ones, so for the lead:
On June 16, 1870, this was dedicated in Atlanta City; at the end of the Summer season, it was taken apart & stored.
"What is the Boardwalk?"...he's right for first place at $4,600! At the conclusion of the round, Andy's again slightly over Doug, $5,800-$5,200; Sue has the advantage in Double J! w/ $3,400.

Andy picks off a DD inside the center Biography w/ $11,800; his small lead over Doug's currently $600 & Sue's a fairly close third place w/ $8,600. The kingpin wagers the face value of the following piece of information:
Hertha Pauli's 1942 biography of this man was subtitled "Dynamite King, Architect of Peace".
"Who is (Alfred) Nobel?"...that was the guy for the small climb to $13K! But Sue claims the Video DD two turns later from the $1,200 Flora of Central America hub w/ $10,200; she's trailing Doug by a grand for second & is $2,800 out of first. For another $3K & to put her in front of this pack, the answer from Sarah Whitcomb at the Casa Orquideas in Costa Rica is:
The Aristolochia Vine's foul odor attracts insects that are then trapped alive inside the flower & later released w/ a coat of this substance, vital to the plant's reproduction.
"What is nectar?"...not nectar; it's pollen. But she does sweep the rest of that subject to run her bank back up to $10,800.
