We also discovered that a chap in Fond Du Lac, Wis., with a raging compulsion has scarfed down 23,000 Big Macs. That's crazy! Let's see what else you recall about the last seven days. If you're right, you'll know it. If you're wrong, you'll overhear Jack growling an order to a Waffle House employee. Good luck!
