You know, I don't think this is the real Alex Trebek at all.

Wow I am a huge fan Alex..really excited to be here. I am looking to answer these with the evolutionist perspective in mind, so as such I will only answer based on the answers I think you idiots would think was true...no matter how wrong you guys are!!!!!HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!11
AND I will not google anything etc, which I am sure will be very apperant after the first answer, but I didn't want anyone to think I would cheat. Luckily for you guys I answer to a higher authority and not to the current trends in society, which would allow me to cheat 'as long as no one gets hurt'.
But I will start with Human evolution for $150 Alex
Okay $200.

What is an example of a dumb joke that Mercury would make because he doesn't post for other people's enjoyment?

Good thing this isn't FCP Jeopardy.

That's close enough. The traditional answer is 98.5%, but there have been some challenges to that number, so you are in the ballbark.

The board is yours.

the answer is nobody knows at this point, and it would require a more technically specific phrasing of the question to have any real meaning.

there are actually some decent studies out there now. but I doubt Alex was looking for a technical response, he probably just wanted to get at the gist that a large proportion of dna is similar between chimps and humans.

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark, that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.” —Raoul Duke, Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas

I thought it would take crow at least 4 or 5 questions before he had to share with us all his superior knowledge and expertise about everything.
It took the first question.
and the second he isn't even waiting for my answer to let us know he knows.
He reminds me of that little on Little House on the Praire who's dad owned the general store. The ugly one with pigtails who always looked down on the other children, not realizing that she was the biggest douche in the town.
