The Drew University biology department chair from Madison was one of 105 past winners called up to play against each other. Barker's prior episodes aired in July 2022.
Barker — who is Harvard and Duke educated — was seated on a beach in Mexico when producers called, she said.
She played in the Hearts Group against Bryce Hwang, an ophthalmology resident from Philadelphia, and Garett Marcotte, a software engineer from Colorado.
Here are some of the questions that Barker absolutely nailed (scroll for correlating answers):
- Q1: 4,500 years old, its royal headdress of limestone makes it the finest noseless architecture
- Q2: Georgie Porgie didn’t suffer from philemaphobia, a fear of this:
- Q3: “Put on that frock again” or right a wrong:
- Q4: A pool shark playing these knows the ball hits the side and bounces off at the same one:
Answers:
- A1: What is the sphinx?
- A2: What is kissing the girls?
- A3: What is redress?
- A4: What is an angle?
Barker finished with $4,399, but did not advance to the semis.
