Just found this out! And the "chlorthalidone" person's mom is a pharmacist. She got it right, but the "scopolamine" person didn't; it was spelled with two "L"s.

Two years ago, one youngster spelled "pharmacist" wrong in an early round. Guess what she will probably not be doing for a living someday.

I could've won that spelling bee.

if it was my kid, and they didn't get it right, there would be a beating afterwards...
(jk, i don't even have kids. for those who think i may be an underground child abuser.)
