The category was business and industry. The clue: Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal white-collar employees work only four months a year.

Her reply, "What is H&R Block?" was correct and gave her $14,001. Jennings' wrong guess, Federal Express, dropped him to $8,799.

Yes he lost today, I saw it. I think the fix was in. The questions he was getting wrong in the end were bogus.
