Not mine, but someone elses. Outdated and inaccurate to boot:

I got 9 out of 10, and the one I missed is inaccurate. Can you spot the goof?
-
I missed the Elaine Joyce one. That wasn't the inaccurate one, now, was it?
-
10/10, although a couple of those were just lucky guesses.

Wasn't the top prize (although unlikely) on syndie WL $125K?

The WML one...
Bennett wasn't the one who coined the phrase: "bigger than a breadbox."
It was Steve Allen.. author of the book: Bigger than a breadbox.

That's right. The round max was $12,500 (and $25K in the double round).
With the second season being $100K, tho, that makes that question at best ambiguous.

Indeed, and I also chose Steve Allen on that question.

Not at all. Russian Roulette's max potential winnings were $100K plus a couple grand from the front game. Granted, it's not a *good* question, but there's a reasonably-clear "most correct" answer.

Well, if you chose Steve Allen you were wrong anyway, as he wasn't one of the choices (the five choices were all game show titles--I picked WML anyway). :)
As for me, like Chief-O the Elaine Joyce question was the only one I missed.

Except the question did not ask for "max potential winnings", it asked about "top prizes". And I would argue that the "prize" in the endgame and the "prize" in the front game are two seperate things.
Plus, in the explanation of the answer the author makes no mention of extra money, merely the $100K that can be won in the endgame.
He screwed the pooch, bottom line.

7/10 for me. I messed up on the "bigger than a breadbox" one as well as Brooke Burnes & Elayne Joice. Not very good with celebrety trivia I guess. The 3 show trick one was a lucky guess because I was leaning towards Dick Clark untill I realized the 80's version of Pyramid was off the air in 1990, so I went with Alex.
