*$150,000 win cue*

OK, you are 3 away and have 3 lifelines remaining. You are in a really strong position here... This is question 10 of a possible 12 and is worth a quarter of a million dollars. Here it is:

(	PAF	)
(	ATA	)
(	STQ	)

The 18th century engineer James Brindley was famous for building what?

[thorklein]

:/ i might have an idea but it's not a 100% one i'd like to phone a friend before deciding.

[OMDolton99]

Ok, I believe your chosen friend is futuregshost, correct?
Right, let's get him on the line.

*Phone dialtone*

F: Hello?
O: Hi, is this futuregshost?
F: It is.
O: Ah, hello. Olid2010 here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
F: Oh, hi Oli!
O: Right, ok. I've got your friend thorklein here and he needs help. He's going for a quarter million... No pressure. In a minute you'll hear thorklein's voice, he'll tell you the question and the four possible answers, ok?
F: Sounds good.
O: In that case you have 30 seconds and your time starts... NOW!

[futuregshost]

When the question came up, the first thing I was thinking was bridges. Canals for the 1700's seems way too early, ships could work, what with all the explorers on expeditions. Roads I think was a little too early for the 18th century, maybe 19th century. My advice: go with A or C. I'm only about 40% sure on either of them. Good luck!

[thorklein]

50-50 please. Sorry about the absence personal reason

[OMDolton99]

50:50? Ok.

Computer, drop two of the wrong answers and leave us the right one and the last wrong one please.

*50:50 sting*

--See original question for results--

[thorklein]

Oh dear :I i am stuck here. D was on my list as a guess but since the 50/50 helped. i'm a little more confident now & even if i get it wrong i've have a good time here i will guess D final answer.
