And what did Pennsylvania's teachers do that ranked them TOPS in the nation?
Let's all find out as we play The Pennsylvania Game.
[theme music] The Pennsylvania Game is made possible in part by Uni-Marts Incorporated, with stores in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, serving you with courtesy and convenience every day of the year.
Uni-Marts, more than a convenience store.
And by the Pennsylvania Public Television Network.
[music playing] Now, let's get the game started.
Here's the host of The Pennsylvania Game, that warm and wascally Lynn Cullen.
[cheering, applause] Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The thinking man's answer to Vanna White.
Here I am.
Welcome to The Pennsylvania Game.
Let us meet our vict-- I mean, our panel for tonight, in fact.
His radio program aired on 100 radio stations daily for 18 years, and he made "It's a beautiful day in Pennsylvania" a household phrase .
Please welcome Pete Wambach, Sr. [applause] Next, Roz Hupp grew up in Ohio to the sounds of country Western music, but claims she always liked Mozart and knew from an early age she was going to be an opera singer.
And she is.
Roz Hupp.
[cheering, applause] And our next panelist is a former round ball player and now host of Penn State Hoops.
Please welcome Brian Allen.
[applause] Hi, there.
All right.
Brian's used to playing games.
He's competitive.
Let's jump right into this one.
Now, I even know the answer to this next question, and I'm still confused.
You'll see what I mean.
NARRATOR: At the foot of the Allegheny Mountains in Chestnut Ridge area of Bedford County is a spot known as Gravity Hill.
It is so named because something reportedly happens there that seems to defy the law of gravity.
What strange phenomenon is said to occur at Gravity Hill?
A, cars coast uphill.
B, cars driving down Gravity Hill automatically slow down.
C, balls bounce 10 times higher than normal.
Or D, very light objects become weightless and float.
[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: Well, that last one got a laugh from the audience, but they're all sort of unbelievable.
Panel, I need you to take a choice A, B, C, or D, and lock it into the computer.
[musical notes] And then I'm going to come to you and ask for some explanations as to why you chose what you chose.
You did it.
Did you just press?
Just press.
Excuse me.
I didn't mean really lock it.
ROZ HUPP: [laughs] You don't need a key just-- [pops] press it.
Thank you.
I did.
LYNN CULLEN: What did you do?
I mean, which one did you press, and why?
I haven't the faintest idea.
[laughter] And I've been all over Bedford County.
I took A. LYNN CULLEN: You did?
It sounded logical to me because I know it happens in Lehigh County.
It could happen in Bedford County.
LYNN CULLEN: Cars coasting uphill?
I mean Carbon County.
OK. Cars coasting up hill.
Sounds logical.
Strange.
Roz, what did you say?
I picked the same one.
LYNN CULLEN: You did.
I pick A.
[laughs] LYNN CULLEN: You picked A.
It just sounded logical.
LYNN CULLEN: Cars coasting up hill sounds logical?
Something to do with Gravity Hill.
But-- Perhaps, perhaps.
Well, that brings us to Brian.
To-- Well, I mean, I picked A, but I mean, those guys are cheating on me, and I would love to go off the board with a C there because that looks-- LYNN CULLEN: C, balls bouncing 10 times higher?
That would help you.
I don't want to be a follower, you know?
It makes me look bad here.
LYNN CULLEN: If, in fact, that were true, I'm sure you'd know about it.
OK. We got the three As here.
Let's see if they're all real smart or they're, you know-- ROZ HUPP: [laughs] --dumb.
NARRATOR: The answer is A.
According to numerous Bedford County residents-- [applause] --and some science teachers from the area, if you drive your car to the bottom of Gravity Hill, put it in neutral, and release the brake, the car will move uphill at speeds approaching 10 miles per hour.
A few people say the strange phenomenon is merely an optical illusion.
Others believe that there's some gravity warp in the Earth that causes cars to coast uphill.
That car doesn't look like it's going up hill.
It looks like it's going downhill-- It's going backwards.
ROZ HUPP: --backwards.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: It's going backwards.
I don't get it.
I still don't get it.
I don't understand it, and I don't believe it.
Let's go to the next question.
I can't stand it.
[laughter] NARRATOR: In 1824, the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania became the first newspaper in America to conduct and publish a certain kind of survey.
The survey was, strangely enough, conducted in Wilmington, Delaware.
What kind of survey was it?
A, morality poll.
B, sex survey.
C, census survey.
Or D, political poll.
LYNN CULLEN: What kind of a survey was that, a morality poll, a sex survey, a census survey, or a political poll?
I need you to pick one, A, B, C, or D, and I need you to-- [musical notes] --put it in, da, da, da, da.
Brian, do you have it?
We have all our panelists' vote?
Roz, explain yourself.
[laughter] Well, I was going to say sex survey, but I changed my mind.
I'll call it the census survey.
LYNN CULLEN: You think it was the first census survey ever taken, so you went with C. Right.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. Brian?
I happen to go with B, first of all, because it was the most interesting one there.
[laughter] And I realized that we do have a family crowd here, but without the sex survey, we probably wouldn't have families here, so-- LYNN CULLEN: That's true.
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: Sex is perfectly natural.
I definitely felt strong about the B.
Now, this was, though, in 1820-something, right?
Sure, sure.
18-something?
Yeah, that's-- They had sex then.
I don't-- Yeah, I think so.
They had sex then.
I think they dabbled in it.
They had sex ed, or we wouldn't be sitting here now.
I'm sure that's true, in fact.
OK, Mr. Wambach?
They said, don't try to win.
Just have fun.
LYNN CULLEN: [laughs] Well, I know that a political party was founded about that time.
And I know that it was the-- LYNN CULLEN: The whatchamacallit party.
Between Adams and Jackson.
It was a terrible fight.
Adams won on some kind of a poll in the legislature.
LYNN CULLEN: The point being, what?
What did you pick?
I'm picking political poll, the result.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, D. I thought we were going to get an history lesson here.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: You might.
He did.
He got a D. We got a D. We got a C. We got a B.
And I don't know if anybody's right.
We'll have to tune in.
ROZ HUPP: Probably morality.
NARRATOR: The answer is D, political poll.
[applause] In 1824, the Harrisburg Pennsylvania became the first newspaper in America to conduct and publish a presidential preference poll.
The poll results, which were said to be reported without discrimination of findings showed, Andrew Jackson with a commanding lead over his opponents John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay, and William Crawford.
Jackson did, in fact, go on to win the popular vote in November, beating his nearest opponent by 77,000 votes.
He ultimately lost the election, however, to John Quincy Adams after it was thrown into the House of Representatives, the last presidential election so decided.
The type of poll conducted was known as a straw poll, which was virtually the only kind of political polling done until George Gallup introduced random sample polling in the early 1930s.
See, and Pete knew all that.
That's what you're saying.
So who you vote for in that election back in 18-- I think it was Quincy Adams' his father in 1896.
LYNN CULLEN: That's what I thought.
Anyway.
John Adams.
Yeah, you ran for political office.
I did.
You've run for Lieutenant Governor.
I ran for Lieutenant Governor in a primary, and I ran for Congress in a general election.
And we're not calling him Lieutenant Governor or Congressman, so guess why.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: That's because I didn't win.
He lost.
ROZ HUPP: [laughs] Yeah, maybe-- Perennial loser.
--you'll win tonight.
The sweet taste of victory tonight, perhaps.
Roz, you performed in operas all over the place.
ROZ HUPP: Yes.
And, oh, how wonderful to have a wonderful voice.
You do other things, though, than sing for your supper.
Sing for my breakfast and my lunch and my-- PETE WAMBACH, SR: [laughs] No, I-- I work for an oil company.
And I don't know if we can mention it on the air.
BRIAN ALLEN: Go ahead, get in there.
United Refining Company.
LYNN CULLEN: There's the-- In Warren, Pennsylvania.
And I teach voice.
I have about 30 students now.
And I still sing whenever I can.
LYNN CULLEN: That's wonderful.
I can tell you I have a beautiful voice.
We'll have to get a note or two out of you before it's over.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: She's good.
Brian, you host Penn State Hoops.
Yes.
And you were a hoopster yourself?
Well-- LYNN CULLEN: Captain.
--as I was telling the audience, it's all a matter of opinion.
LYNN CULLEN: [laughs] I was on the team and I was out there, but whether I was playing or not, jury's still out.
[percussion sting] LYNN CULLEN: No, I-- I also ran.
I've heard you were-- BRIAN ALLEN: For coach.
You ran?
You were-- BRIAN ALLEN: I ran for coach.
--on the track star, too?
Interesting.
Well, let's see-- I'm lying.
--how well you compete at this game, The Pennsylvania Game, because it continues now.
Here's your next question.
[music playing] NARRATOR: Hundreds of thousands of visitors head to New York State each year to see the spectacular, 167-foot-high Niagara Falls.
Though not nearly as well known, Pennsylvania has its own sensational waterfall, the Raymondskill Falls, the highest waterfall in Pennsylvania.
How high is it?
A, 99 feet.
B, 134 and 1/2 feet.
C, 175 feet.
Or D, 192 feet?
LYNN CULLEN: Well, I know you haven't been up there measuring these lately, but I mean, what do you think?
The Raymondskill Falls.
You saw it.
It's absolutely beautiful.
How high do you think those falls are?
I need you to get those furrowed brows erased, and-- [musical notes] OK. LYNN CULLEN: --stick an answer in there.
All right.
I think I'll-- LYNN CULLEN: OK. Take a guess.
Have you-- just-- well, need to vote.
You need to vote.
Da, da, da.
[laughter] He'd never be a good secretary.
Lousy.
He'd hunt and peck.
I can see that.
Brian, what'd you choose?
I picked 192 feet.
LYNN CULLEN: D, 192 feet.
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: The highest one.
It would make it a lot higher than Niagara Falls, in fact.
Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: Sure, why not?
How about you?
You, Lieutenant Governor, sir?
PETE WAMBACH, SR: I don't know why.
They look like Bushkill Falls to me.
And I picked B, 134 and 1/2 feet.
I don't-- I haven't the faintest idea why.
I don't know.
LYNN CULLEN: OK.
He doesn't know, but he picked.
Roz, you probably don't know, but you picked, too.
What'd you pick?
He copied.
I picked B.
Did you?
134 and 1/2 because it was different.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. Two Bs and a D. BRIAN ALLEN: Are you guys sharing a brain over there?
And we're going to find out what the answer is right now.
NARRATOR: The answer is C, 175 feet.
[applause] Located less than a mile north of Route 209 in Pike County, Raymondskill Falls are one of a number of waterfalls that tumble off the edge of the Pocono Plateau.
Nature lovers could find them secluded within the 37-mile-long Delaware Gap National Recreation Area.
OK, that makes it 8 feet higher than Niagara Falls, in fact.
And it's a beauty.
The score you may be interested in knowing is-- Mr. Wambach, Pete, has two whole points.
Rosalind and Brian both have one.
So it's a very tight game.
[applause] [music playing] Ooh.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: What?
That's our Mystery Pennsylvanian music.
I'm about to give you our first clue.
So listen up.
As a child, he loved horses.
As an adult, he believed that many kids would rather ride a horse at 25 than pilot a spaceship to the moon.
Who is this man?
[music playing] As a child, he loved horses.
As an adult, he believed that kids would rather ride on a horse fast than ride a rocket ship to the moon.
If you know, put it down on line one.
You'll get three points at the end of the game, if you're lucky.
Who is this famous Pennsylvanian?
[all muttering] [mimics muttering] I hear all this muttering coming.
[mimics muttering] OK. Quit your muttering and direct your attention over here to the monitor because we're going to Hollywood East.
It's called Pennsylvania.
NARRATOR: In a recent 18-month period, more than a dozen movies were produced in Pittsburgh.
In many of these movies, Pittsburgh is impersonating someplace else, a job the city does well because of its widely varied neighborhoods.
But from time to time, a filmmaker actually lets Pittsburgh play itself.
In which made in Pittsburgh movie does Pittsburgh play Pittsburgh?
Is it A, Silence of the Lambs; B, Hoffa; C, Innocent Blood; or D, Lorenzo's Oil?
LYNN CULLEN: OK. Pittsburgh is always being passed off as some other city.
A lot of films being made there.
Which of those films all made in Pittsburgh did Pittsburgh actually play itself?
What's the second one?
LYNN CULLEN: A, The Silence of the Lambs.
B, Hoffa, starring Jack Nicholson.
C, Innocent Blood.
And D, Lorenzo's Oil.
[musical notes] I'm going to need answers.
Do we put the-- Yes, you just-- no, no, no, no, press your computer.
B. OK, B. LYNN CULLEN: Pete.
OK.
It's the computer age.
I know.
It's tragic, as far as I'm concerned, too.
Pete, what did you pick?
I picked B, Hoffa.
LYNN CULLEN: Hoffa.
I think because of the labor situation, one of the scenes was probably done in Pittsburgh.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. OK. Roz, what do you think?
I didn't see any of the movies, so I picked Lorenzo's Oil.
LYNN CULLEN: Lorenzo's Oil, D, with Susan Sarandon.
Brian?
I picked B because Jack was in it.
LYNN CULLEN: Because Jack was in it, in fact Jack.
Well, that's not why to pick it.
We were trying to figure out which one-- BRIAN ALLEN: Well, I remember him being on campus, so why else would he be in Pittsburgh?
LYNN CULLEN: OK. All of these were made in Pittsburgh, but did any of our panelists get the correct movie in which Pittsburgh actually was allowed to be Pittsburgh?
Let's find out.
NARRATOR: The answer is C, Innocent Blood.
[applause] Anne Parillaud stars as the female vampire who only goes after bad guys in this 1992 Warner Brothers film produced in and featuring Pittsburgh.
But in The Silence of the Lambs, a number of locations around Pittsburgh portray Chicago, Washington, DC, and even small towns in Tennessee and Ohio.
In Hoffa, starring Jack Nicholson, Pittsburgh poses as New York, Washington, and Detroit.
And in Lorenzo's Oil, starring Nick Nolte and Susan Sarandon, Pittsburgh is supposed to be Chevy Chase, Maryland.
LYNN CULLEN: All right.
It's weird living in Pittsburgh.
It seems like there's a movie filming there every time you turn around.
Sometimes you get trapped in your own neighborhood because of filming and you can't get out.
It's really been very exciting.
Brings a lot of money into the Pittsburgh economy.
Our next question has to do with Pennsylvania public schools and education.
Listen up.
NARRATOR: Pennsylvania's 1.6 million school students are taught by more than 100,000 teachers.
In the 1991/92 school year, Pennsylvania's teachers led the nation for the number of what?
A, teachers with master's degrees.
B, teachers who use computers in the classroom.
C, professionals who became teachers mid-career.
Or D, teachers' strikes.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, boy.
[laughter] Three of those I guess we could brag about.
One, I'm not so sure we could.
Which do you think it is?
Which does Pennsylvania stand out in, teachers with master's degrees, teachers who use computers, professionals who became teachers, or teachers' strikes?
[musical notes] I need a response from you.
I need you to lock your answer in.
And Roz, what do you think?
I picked B, teachers who use computers in the classroom.
LYNN CULLEN: As we sit here in labor with ours, huh?
OK.
Right.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. That seems to be the coming age.
Brian?
I picked professionals who became teachers mid-career because it looked nice.
LYNN CULLEN: It looked nice.
It looked very nice.
LYNN CULLEN: Oh, my.
It looked like they're tired of their jobs, and they want to give back to the Pittsburgh community.
LYNN CULLEN: Sure.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: Isn't that nice?
Sounds good.
He talks a good game.
What the heck?
What do you think, Pete?
I was going to pick D, but it's not nice.
It doesn't say nice things about teachers.
The one that does is A, so I'll pick A, because it's nice to teachers.
[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: The idea is to pick the right answer, not the one that's right or wrong.
You told me not to.
You said have fun.
I'm having fun.
[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: It doesn't look like he's having fun, does he?
Looks sort of angry at the moment.
Gee, whiz.
Let's find out.
Woo!
NARRATOR: The answer is D, teachers' strikes.
[applause] In the 1991/92 school year, there were 36 teachers' strikes in Pennsylvania, affecting more than 100,000 students.
The average strike lasted 13 days.
The longest, in the California and Newcastle school districts, lasted more than 40 days.
Teachers have been allowed to strike since 1970.
Since then, 25% of teachers' strikes nationally have occurred in Pennsylvania.
Roz just said we're striking out.
That's true.
[laughter] Roz, you've got one correct at this point.
Brian, also one correct.
Hey, hey-- LYNN CULLEN: And Pete's got two.
Pete, you can bank on that.
Pete's still ahead.
[applause] [music playing] He established a farm in Pennsylvania and devoted his life to writing about horses and raising them.
He established a farm and devoted his life to writing about horses and raising horses.
[music playing] This is a man who just has loved horses since he was a child and thought all children did, would rather ride a horse than ride a rocket ship to the moon.
Who is this guy?
[laughs] [mumbles] LYNN CULLEN: They don't have the slightest idea.
[laughter] ROZ HUPP: Not the foggiest.
Oh, listen, just leave it alone.
I'll take you to the Chesapeake Bay.
How is that?
You can relax on a sailboat.
Let's go.
Let's go.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: [laughs] NARRATOR: The Chesapeake Bay gets 50% of its water from a certain Pennsylvania river.
For this reason, the Chesapeake Bay might logically have been named A, the Delaware Bay; B, the Allegheny Bay; C, the Susquehanna Bay; or D, the Ohio Bay?
LYNN CULLEN: OK. We were talking about logic before.
Logically, what could the Chesapeake Bay have been called?
Have we locked our answers in?
Brian?
I have.
I picked A, the Delaware Bay.
LYNN CULLEN: The Delaware Bay.
Yes.
That is because of the route of the Delaware River, and it goes down and empties down there somewhere.
LYNN CULLEN: Well that's a better reason than it looks nice, which is the reason you gave last time.
[laughs] LYNN CULLEN: Pete?
My son is on the Chesapeake Bay Commission.
And if I miss this one, I'm dead.
LYNN CULLEN: Then what is it?
C. LYNN CULLEN: C, the Susquehanna Bay, it should be called.
Ooh.
Roz, do you agree with him?
ROZ HUPP: Yes.
Sounded like he knew what-- I picked C, the Susquehanna Bay.
LYNN CULLEN: OK. 'Cause I just read about the river, but I don't know if that's right or not.
LYNN CULLEN: Well, Pete was very sure of himself on this one.
Let's see if he has reason to be.
NARRATOR: The answer is C. [applause] The Susquehanna Bay.
The Susquehanna River is the longest river entering the Atlantic Ocean along the East Coast, draining 50% of Pennsylvania.
Fed by 400 streams and nine major rivers, the Susquehanna River pours on average more than 22 billion gallons of water each day into the Chesapeake Bay.
The Delaware River empties into the Delaware Bay, and the Ohio and Allegheny rivers ultimately drain into the Gulf of Mexico.
[sighs] Okey-doke.
Let's move.
On we're going to have an earth-shaking experience here, so hang on to your chairs.
Here we go.
NARRATOR: While it's true that Pennsylvania has experienced milder and fewer earthquakes than many other states, earthquakes do occur in the Commonwealth.
Where in Pennsylvania have most earthquakes taken place?
Is it A, Northwestern Pennsylvania from Erie to Pittsburgh; B, Lancaster-Lebanon area; C, the Clover Creek area of Blair County; or D, the Allentown area in Lehigh County?
LYNN CULLEN: What do you think?
Roz, if I could sing, I'd sing I feel the earth move under my feet.
Do you know that song?
[laughs] No.
No, I never-- LYNN CULLEN: That's too bad.
I like Mozart, remember?
LYNN CULLEN: She's an opera singer.
Why would she know that?
Why would she know that?
I need an-- I need answers from you.
So take your choice.
Where is the most earthquake-prone area in Pennsylvania?
Which area has experienced the most earthquakes?
Pete, I need a response.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: Yeah.
LYNN CULLEN: Which do you think?
I know of that horrible tornado in the northwest two years ago.
I don't think that's it, where it's mountainous in the Allegheny plateau.
I would say Blair County.
That would be C. LYNN CULLEN: That would be C, in fact, and that's, in fact-- it's a good thing that you pick that.
Yeah, C. Roz, I picked A because I'm from northwestern Pennsylvania.
I know there have been no earthquakes since I've lived there, but-- LYNN CULLEN: [laughs] --I picked that anyway.
LYNN CULLEN: Well, so that's a good reason to have chosen it.
My lord, where do we get these people?
[laughs] Brian?
OK, well, my last name is Allen, I'm fat, and every time I walk, I make the earth move.
So I'm going to go with Allentown.
[laughter] I like that.
I like that.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: Good thinking, Allen.
[applause] ROZ HUPP: Very good.
The thing is, he's not fat.
Let's find out if it's Allentown or any of these.
Beautiful.
NARRATOR: The answer is B, Lancaster and Lebanon counties.
[applause] 24 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude from 3.0 to 4.3 on the Richter scale, have been recorded in that area between 1738 and 1992.
[music playing] LYNN CULLEN: OK. Wasn't close.
Not that we have to worry about earthquakes, believe me.
I'm not going to lose any sleep over that.
We're going to stick closer to home on this question, sitting here in State College.
We should know this one.
Uh-oh.
NARRATOR: In 1991, 10,300 seats were added to Penn State's Beaver Stadium, bringing the stadium's total seating capacity to 93,600 and making it the third largest stadium in the nation.
What stadium did Beaver Stadium supplant as the nation's third largest?
Was it A, Ohio Stadium, Ohio State; B, Rose Bowl, Pasadena, California; C, Veteran's Stadium, Philadelphia; or D, John F. Kennedy, Philadelphia?
LYNN CULLEN: OK. Beaver Stadium knocked one of those stadiums or "stadi-i" out of the third place spot and took it over.
I don't know if it's "stadi-i," but let's figure out.
Which one do you think it was?
[musical notes] Make you choice.
And A, B, C, or D?
And Roz, I'm coming at you, which one?
I picked Ohio Stadium, Ohio State, because I'm from Ohio.
[laughter] Yeah, the reasoning that's going on here is mind boggling to me.
OK, Brian?
I went with Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia.
LYNN CULLEN: You did?
It's a huge stadium.
I was toiling there with Rose Bowl or Veteran's Stadium, but I just-- LYNN CULLEN: What the heck?
What the heck?
LYNN CULLEN: What the heck.
Exactly.
LYNN CULLEN: Exactly my attitude, too.
Pete?
Exactly what I had.
I had a difference between Rose Bowl and the Ohio Stadium.
Veteran's couldn't have been.
Kennedy is big.
BRIAN ALLEN: Thank you, Pete.
LYNN CULLEN: So what'd you come up with?
[laughter] I came up with-- which did I say?
Ohio Stadium, A. LYNN CULLEN: You said A, Ohio Stadium.
Well, they're all-- ROZ HUPP: He's cheating.
LYNN CULLEN: He's following you ROZ HUPP: He's copying.
What did we get?
PETE WAMBACH, SR: Did we do it again?
ROZ HUPP: You're copying.
NARRATOR: The answer is D. [applause] Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy Stadium, with 100,000 seats, over 6,000 more than Beaver Stadium, was condemned and demolished in 1992, making Beaver Stadium by default the nation's third largest stadium.
The Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California with a seating capacity of 104,091 is the nation's largest.
Michigan Stadium with 101,701 is the second largest.
[music playing] BRIAN ALLEN: I think I have it.
[chuckles] That is the music for our third and final clue of Mystery Pennsylvanian.
Try to get it here.
Many of his stories were about a black, glistening horse born wild.
A black horse, born wild.
[music playing] Who was this man?
He loved horses from the time he was a child.
He raised them.
And his stories about them were mostly about a wild, black horse.
OK.
Kids and their-- LYNN CULLEN: OK, OK, OK. Got some writing going on here.
[pencils scratching on paper] Br-- rah-- rah-- rah-- rah-- Brian?
What are you writing there?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I just wanted to make it real big so you can see.
LYNN CULLEN: Share with us.
Share with us.
Do I have to share now?
LYNN CULLEN: Yeah, right now.
OK. LYNN CULLEN: What do you have?
All right.
The answer is-- LYNN CULLEN: Is?
OK.
I don't want them cheating off me.
LYNN CULLEN: I think there's going to be a joke.
I can feel it coming.
What is the answer?
I have Don Corleone, a.k.a.
Marlon Brando.
[laughter] LYNN CULLEN: That's a good, good guess.
Good.
I like that.
Good answer.
Good.
He had a nice affinity for horses, from what I-- [booing] Run him back to the gym.
[laughter] Run him back to Virginia.
Pete, what did you put down?
Easy.
What'd you put down?
I put this down as a question mark, and I just wrote, he wrote Black Beauty.
Whoever he was, Black Beauty.
He wrote Black Beauty.
BRIAN ALLEN: Oh, that was-- Roz, did you write anybody's name down?
I wrote Black Beauty's author.
OK.
Both of you think it was-- BRIAN ALLEN: So imaginative.
Black Beauty's author and Marlon Brando are our responses.
ROZ HUPP: [laughs] None of them are going to win, I've got a feeling.
ROZ HUPP: Aw.
Let's find out.
NARRATOR: Walter Farley was born in 1920-- [applause] --in Syracuse, New York and grew up in New York City.
He attended Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania and later Columbia University.
It was there, under the guidance of his English professor, that he wrote the final draft of his most famous book, The Black Stallion, which was published in 1951.
After a four-year stint in the army, Farley and his wife established a farm in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, where he devotes his time to writing about horses and raising them.
His books have sold more than 12 million copies in the United States and in 15 other countries.
The movies The Black Stallion and The Black Stallion Returns were both adapted from his books of the same title.
[music playing] Pretty.
I hope he forgives all of us for not having the slightest idea who he was.
But those movies were wonderful.
I'm glad he moved back.
Yeah, listen, Pete, believe it or not, you won.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: I'm dead.
You won.
What do you mean, I won?
You won the game.
It wasn't-- The game's over?
You won the game.
The game is over.
[applause] I thank you.
You're going to get a pen pack-- I mean-- --with Pennsylvania-made-- I am the stupidest winner in the history of this game.
[laughter] BRIAN ALLEN: Hey, easy.
PETE WAMBACH, SR: What's the matter with you?
Easy.
Think about us.
Roz, Brian-- You said it.
--thank you all for joining us.
Thank you, audience.
And thank you at home for putting up with us today.
I hope you join us again next week when we'll play The Pennsylvania Game.
[applause] PETE WAMBACH, SR: Oh!
You won.
