Question 1100896: Mr. Mathew and Mr. Mitchell were competing on the game show Jeopardy.
With two categories remaining in Round 2, Mr. Mathew had -$2400, which was
twice as much as Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Mitchell, however, swept the �Green

$2000 questions correctly. Mr. Mathew kept things close by answering correctly
the $400, $800, $1200, and $2000 questions in the last category of �Classic Movie Quotes�.
