(Alex: If you had, uh, if you knew the tallest peak in South America was Aconcagua--it is in [*]. The lowest point, Valdes Peninsula, is 131 feet below sea level. That was the tougher part of the clue. It's going to cost you also, Richard. How much was the wager? $7,000. That drops you all the way down to $2,900 and it makes Erik Larsen a semifinalist. So, congratulations to you, young man. We will see you next week in the semifinals. And thanks to our other players today for a good game. I don't know if that $2900 will hold up. We'll find out tomorrow, the last of our quarterfinal games in this year's Tournament of Champions. Please join us then. So long, everyone!)| Lisa | What is Chile? | | $2,500 | | Erik | What is Chile? | | $700 | | Richard | What is Chile? | | $7,000 |
