Besides "Iron" Mike, the judges are Mary Lynn Rajskub & Dr. Rahul Jandial (but the audience will decide the $100K winner). Kal Penn's the host (Russell Norman's the director).
1. Zoe Wheeler (binary wizard in Madison)(KING & QUEEN): There are 30 king pieces & 30 queen pieces. The judges will rearrange those pieces & she has to memorize and recite the final chess board layout.
PASS
2. Brandee Mills (muscle memory phenom)(BODY IN MOTION): She faces a green laser maze that she has to clear BLINDFOLDED once she's seen the maze for five min.
FAIL
3. Ronnie White (Navy vet from Ft. Worth who's a human phone book)(THE PICK-UP ARTIST): He has to talk to each of 15 women at a bar setting, get their name, phone number & a fact about them & recall everything about five of the girls selected at random (this includes dialing each of the numbers on a smartphone).
PASS
(Note: Some of the graphics for this challenge borrow from "Millionaire".)
4. Yusnier Viera (human calculator from MIA; orig. from Cuba)(FLASH MATH): In each of three rds., 10 two-digit numbers are flashed on the screen & he has to add all those numbers up successfully. Later rds. will have the sequences move faster.
PASS
5. Will Brown (EC & taste maker from ATL; orig. from LA)(THE MISSING INGREDIENT- Graham Eliot guests): He has to do just that for each of the three dishes.
1/3
6. John Bieniek (web designer from Berkley, MI)(EAGLE EYE): There are 18,432 tiles on two walls & he has to figure out which three of those tiles have been changed by Mary Lynn.
PASS (though he had to take a timeout on the last one)
7. Nadia Milia (human thermometer)(BATH TIME): She simply needed to figure out the temperature of each bathtub.
8. Amanda Wolfe (HUMAN BLOODHOUND): While blindfolded, she would have to ID each of five objects just by its smell.
9. Jeff Brucculeri (Broken Arrow, OK)(HUMAN RADAR): Roy Oswalt would fire three pitches & he had to guess the speed of each pitch.
10. Zoe Kosovic (THE MAGIC TOUCH): One of 30 men chosen by Mary Lynn would touch Zoe & she would have to select that same guy from that group of 30.
FAIL
11. Katelyn Benton (Sr. songwriter & pianist from Silverland in San Jose)(SIGHT OVER SOUND): By only watching Paul Shaffer's fingers (& NOT listening to a single note), she has to ID each of three songs.
PASS
12. Luis Angel (MEET AND GREET): Before this taping began, he met 100+ audience members. This is similar to The Pick-Up Artist, except there's no phone numbers involved.
PASS
