Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! visits Portland, Oregon for the second time. Although Peter Sagal and Carl Kasell said that the show was recorded at the Portland Center for the Performing Arts, the venue was the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall.
When Peter asked how well Adam Felber did after answering his set of Lightning Fill In The Blank questions, Carl said that Adam had a total of 16 points. When Peter asked Carl if Amy Dickinson did well enough to win, Carl said that she did not not beat Adam 18 points in order to win. Since Carl said Adam had 16 points right after Adam finished his questions, that is the score that has been recorded.
