Roy Blount, Jr. didn't know the answer for the first question of the Week in Review segment. Instead, both Charlie Pierce and Roxanne Roberts said the answer at the same time for half credit each.

For the Listener Bluff segment, the listener contestant chose Roxanne's answer, but Charlie's answer was correct.

Roxanne and Charlie started the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank segment with 4.5 and 1.5 points respectively. Their scores have been rounded up to the nearest whole numbers for the non-decimal score columns.

An audio clip of an evil laugh with screaming people replaced the sound of a gong to note the end of the one minute for each of the panelists' time for Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank.

When Peter Sagal asked Carl Kasell how many questions Roxanne needed to win, Carl said three. Roxanne had 4.5 points while Roy had a total of 7 points. Thus, Roxanne would only need to answer two questions correct for a total of 8.5 points to win.
