Yes, that's correct. You're now at

$300

, with 29 blocks to go. Your last $100 question:

Invented by a trumpeter in 1711, what pronged device is used by orchestras to sustain perfect pitch?

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Tuning Fork

[lilith2013]

And you're now at

$400

! These next few questions will be a little harder, and are worth $200.

(hands in the air)

[StrangerCoug]

I really want to say Thailand but I'm not 100% sure on this one.

[Bowser]

I don't know this one.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Thailand

[lilith2013]

And that answer brings you to

$600

! 27 blocks to go, coming up to a red light..

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (1) = 1

[lilith2013]

That's a green light, so here's your next question:

Making history in 1937, the NC35 airplane made it easier for passengers to breathe at high altitudes by introducing what new technology?

You have (expired on 2015-11-24 22:34:16) to answer.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

My first thought here would be like recycled air or something, or something to do with cabin pressure or something but I don't know how to force it into something that fits here. Any thoughts?

[Bowser]

I'm just as clueless as you.

[StrangerCoug]

A pressurized cabin?

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Pressurized Cabin

Not completely sure...

[lilith2013]

The new technology introduced was indeed cabin pressure! You now have

$800

. 25 blocks to go, and..

Original Roll String: 1d2

1 2-Sided Dice: (2) = 2

[lilith2013]

And you know what that means:

Red Light Challenge!!!

Here's your question, worth $500:

Liechtenstein, a small principality located in western Europe, is one of the eight states that share a border with Austria. Name the other seven countries.

As this question requires seven answers, you will have twelve guesses instead of ten. You have (expired on 2015-11-26 00:42:16) to answer.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Germany
Hungary
Italy
Switzerland

I could totally guess a few more that are probably answers here because I have some idea of other countries, I'm just less sure. If you all have some idea here, go for it, otherwise I can keep going.

[Bowser]

idk any of them lol

[lilith2013]

Yep, that's four out of seven. Three to go.

[StrangerCoug]

Poland
Czech Republic

[lilith2013]

Czech Republic makes 5. Poland does not border Austria.

5/7 correct answers, 6/12 guesses remaining.

[StrangerCoug]

France?

[lilith2013]

Not France either. 5/12 guesses remaining.

[ForWhomTheJellyRolls]

Bulgaria
Romania
Croatia

[lilith2013]

None of those either. 2/12 guesses remaining--here's where I say that the guess limit is really so people can't just list all 50 countries in Europe and know that some of them have to border Austria. You're not supposed to be penalized for incorrect guesses, so I'll extend your guesses by another 5 since this question was pretty difficult. So you have 7 guesses remaining.

[StrangerCoug]

Well, if you know the general area of where Austria is...

Slovakia?
