2. I was in the ballpark (close) with type of object.

Didn't guess the money because I thought it was a much cheaper item.

When do you reveal the answers? (I had thought they were mushrooms.)

The mystery answer is now typed in white.

They're not worth it. Kind of like caviar.

From Elaine & Mr. Lippmann's shop, Top of the Muffin *TO YOU!!!*

Former NBC executive Russell Dalrimple paid in excess of $1M for them.

[Gabi Hayes]

16. you are correct, sir! but not about the price.

A veritable STEAL at ~$100,000/kg.

1.5kg Alba white truffle, sold to a Hong Kong businessman for $160,000.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

That's right. Somebody just paid $160K for a fungus. And surprisingly, Halliburton was not involved in the sale. :evilgrin:
