Can You Answer Duran's 'Who Want to Be a Millionaire' Questions?

Editor's Note: Here are the questions Philipse Manor resident Nancy Duran got on episodes of "Who Want to Be a Millionaire" that aired on Tuesday and Wednesday and how it all went down, as supplied by show publicist, Trisha Miller:

On Tuesday’s show, Nancy made it up to her fourth question. She continued as a holdover contestant on Wednesday’s show where she started by looking at her fifth question with an accumulated MillionaireBank of $28,000 and two lifelines left (“Ask The Audience” and “Jump The Question” #2).

On Wednesday’s show, Nancy made it all the way up to her $100,000 question! Out of lifelines and unsure of the answer, Nancy decided to not answer the question. Because she was in round #2 of the game, she was able to walk away with her entire accumulated Millionaire Bank, which had risen to $47,100. If she had guessed incorrectly on the $100,000 question, she would have fallen back to $25,000 in winnings.

Nancy successfully navigated her way through round #1 of the game (questions 1-10) and went on to round #2 (questions 11-14) with an accumulated Millionaire Bank of $47,100 and no lifelines left (“Jump The Question” and “Ask The Audience”).

Once a contestant makes it into round #2 of Millionaire (best described as “Classic Millionaire”), they only have four more questions to answer. Unlike the first round of the game, questions in round #2 become progressively more difficult and the monetary value attached to the question is no longer shuffled and hidden. If a contestant decides to not take a guess and walk away from the game in round #2, they are able to take home their entire accumulated Millionaire Bank.  If a contestant incorrectly answers a question in round #2, they fall back to $25,000 in winnings.

$100,000 Question: 

In Watertown, Wisconsin, there is a plaque dated 1856 that commemorates America's first what?

A: Golf course

B: Synagogue

C: Kindergarten

D: State fair

Out of lifelines and unsure of the answer, Nancy decided to not answer the question. Because she was in round #2 of the game, she was able to walk away with her entire accumulated Millionaire Bank, which had risen to $47,100. If she had guessed incorrectly on the $100,000 question, she would have fallen back to $25,000 in winnings. The correct answer was “C.”
