Attempting to qualify for "Super Millionaire," Day 2


First of all, on my way home from work, I stopped at 7-Eleven to buy a half-gallon of milk. I decided I'd give that Pepsi/iTunes contest a try by buying a Big Gulp (and showed blatant disregard for the sponsor by filling it with Dr Pepper), and darned if I didn't win a free song.

Unfortunately, my luck didn't continue: this time I was stymied on the fourth of five qualifying questions by trying to determine how far four European cities were from Berlin. Looking at a map afterwards, it's clear that I thought St. Petersburg was a lot closer to Berlin than it actually is (i.e., it seems like St. Petersburg, Florida isn't that much farther away from Berlin than St. Petersburg, Russia).
