# Wie is de Mol? (Dutch TV series) season 22

The twenty-second season of the Dutch TV series *Wie is de Mol?* ("Who is the Mole?") aired on 1 January 2022. This was the fifth season with Rik van de Westelaken as host. The candidates were announced on 28 August 2021 in a livestream on the *Wie is De Mol* website, during a live assignment in the first round of the season. During the livestream, candidates also had to appeal to the public stating that they are not the mole. The least suspected candidate would receive two exemptions, all before the first execution of the season.

On 15 November 2021, the location was revealed as Albania on the show's social media accounts. The season premiered on 1 January 2022. With the Reunion on 5 March 2021, which saw Fresia Cousiño Arias win against fellow finalist, Kim-Lian van der Meij, to successfully unmask actor Everon Jackson Hooi as the Mole. Hooi's reign as the Mole saw Arias win the new all-time lowest pot of €8,065, surpassing the record set by last year's Mole in Season 21 of €9,675. With the winnings of €8,065.-, Arias decided to donate a portion of the winnings to Season 21's winner, Rocky Hehakaija's charity organization.

## Format

Followed the same format as its Belgian predecessor, this season however, Eleven candidates were gathered to complete assignments to earn money for the group pot. However, one of the eleven is the titular Mole (*de Mol*), the one designated to sabotage the assignments and cause the group to earn the least amount of money for the winner's pot as possible. Every few days, players would take a 20-question multiple choice test about the identity of the Mole. Once the test is complete, the candidates await their results in an Execution ceremony. The candidate with the worst score is executed from the game, while in the event of the tie the candidate who completed their test the slowest is executed. The season plays out until there are three remaining candidates, where they must complete a final test (consisting of 40 questions). The candidate with the highest score, or who had completed their test the fastest in a tie, is declared the winner and receives the group's pot.

The season took place in Albania. This was the second season in *Wie is de Mol?* history to begin with eleven candidates, the last being Season 3 in 2002. The cast were revealed in a livestream during the production of the first episode on August 29, 2021, where they were tasked to plea their case to the audience that they were not the Mole to receive one of two exemptions from the first execution ceremony occurring that night. All executed candidates were invited to a masked ball in Tirana at the end of production filming, where the Mole was unmasked. A decision to prevent the Netherlands to discover the elimination order of the season post-livestream.

**Notes**

1. Pot earnings:
indicates an increase
indicates no change
indicates a decrease
2. As a duo, Kim-Lian and Hila earned €250 each in Hoog Spel Spelen. However, Kim-Lian chose not to reveal her €250 to the rest of the group. Thus it is not acknowledged in the Pot Total.
3. Between Episode 5 and Episode 6, €100 went missing without explanation. In Episode 10, it was revealed that the Candidates had lost the money in their bus at that time, and it never found its way back into the pot.
4. No one got eliminated because the remaining contestants were the finalists of the season.
5. Because Everon received an Exemption in Episode 1, the winner's pot lost €5,000 when it was revealed that Everon was the Mole 2022.
6. Towards the end of the Season, Kim-Lian revealed to Everon the missing €250, and an additional €20 she stole during the Alarmerend assignment. As the Mole, Everon flushed the money Kim-Lian returned to get rid of the evidence, thus removing it from the final winner's pot as well.

(Af)troeven ((Take) Trumps)

Each candidate meets with host Rik van de Westelaken at Rozafa Castle. They are asked which candidate believe is the Mole based on videos of candidates during the show's casting process, which they were shown during the car ride to the assignment location. After answering, they are told which group the Mole designated them to for the first assignment – *aftroeven* (Taking Trumps) or *troeven* (Trumps).

Each group has 20 minutes to complete six puzzle-or-obstacle-based tasks within the courtyard of the castle. Each task involves obtaining a key to unlock a box by various means and most tasks need two or more candidates at once to complete. For the *aftroeven* group, each box contains various amounts of money for the pot. For the *troeven* group, each box contains various Jokers, with the first candidate to physically grab each Joker when the box is opened being recognised as its holder.

After the assignment, the two groups were told to reveal what they had earned, where *troven* group obtained seven Jokers and the *aftroeven* group earned €1,400. The *aftroeven* group were then given the choice to add the money to the pot, or force the *troven* group to return the Jokers at the price of €200 per joker. They decided to spend all €1,400, requiring all seven Jokers to be returned to Rik; therefore, no money was earned for the pot.

After the money was relinquished, it was then revealed that a clue to the identity of the Mole was printed on those specific banknotes.

Avondklok (Evening Clock)

Around the castle grounds are three tablets displaying the current time of 9:00pm, and would stop displaying the time at 9:35pm. At each tablet are also three hourglasses measuring unknown times. Candidates had to figure out the times that each hourglass measures and use them to measure time after the tablets stopped displaying the time. They had to stop the time on the tablet within 10 minutes of 11:22pm to complete the assignment. For each tablet stopped between 11:12pm and 11:32pm, €500 would be earned for the pot.

€1,500.- was earned for the pot.

Ontmaskerd? (Unmasked?)

Prior to the execution, each candidate has one minute to present a speech to the public as to why they are not the Mole. The speeches would be given during a livestream event to the Dutch viewing public – which occurred live on 29 August 2021 – on the show's website. The viewers then had to vote for the candidate they thought was the Mole. The candidate who receives the most votes would be deemed the "most suspicious" while the candidate who receives the least votes would be deemed "least suspicious". The least suspicious candidate would receive an exemption for themselves and the ability to award a second candidate an exemption. If the Mole is voted as the "least suspicious", or given the second exemption by the least suspicious candidate, the group will lose €5,000 from the pot in the finale. If the "most suspicious" candidate makes it to the finale and revealed as the Mole, the group earns €5,000 for the pot.

Arno received the most votes and was deemed the "most suspicious" candidate. Glen received the fewest votes and was deemed the "least suspicious" candidate; he was awarded an exemption for himself and granted the second exemption to Everon.

Binnen en Buiten Bereik (In and Out of Range)

Candidates form two groups: five candidates who want to "stay within reach" and five candidates who want to "stay out of reach". The five candidates who want to "stay out of reach" must stand around a rotating Lazy Susan-style turntable on the main stage of Migjeni Theater, which have several task stations on them. As the turntable rotates, they must complete as many tasks as possible in 10 minutes. After their time expires, the group who wants to "stay within reach" have 10 minutes to continue the tasks that the first group hadn't finished. However, this time they must stand on the turntable as it rotates. Tasks are worth varying amounts of money.

€310.- was earned for the pot.

Prikactie (Prick Action)

Two candidates at a time begins on the back of a Jeep. As the Jeep drives down Rana e Hedshun beach, they must use a spear to pop as many green balloons as possible that the vehicle passes. Before they begin, the Jeeps would complete a practice lap of the course and candidates are not allowed to pop balloons during this lap. Each green balloon popped earns €10 for the pot, however if candidates pop the nearby red balloons then they lose €10 per balloon. Along the course are also gold balloons which only the final two candidates can pop to earn €150 for the pot each.

At the conclusion of the assignment, it was revealed the group earned €890 for the pot. However, they were penalized €90 as Thomas had popped balloons during the practice lap, reducing their earnings to €800.

Ver Gelijken (To Compare)

The group had to select two candidates who would use Gjon Mili’s lighting techniques. They had 30 minutes to create eight light paintings representing the remaining eight candidates. Each of the remaining eight candidates that correctly identified which light painting represented them would increase the amount that the reconstruction of photos would earn for their part of the assignment.

The eight remaining candidates had to divide themselves into three groups and each group had memorize one of three Pietro Marubi photos within a room of the Marubi National Museum of Photography. In 30 minutes, each photo had to be recreated using any items they could find or obtain around Shkodër. Prior to the assignment, the Mole selected which items or stylistic elements had to be in candidate’s recreation of the three photos. For each selected item or element deemed present in the recreations, the group could earn up to €225 based on how many of the eight candidates correctly identified themselves in the light paintings.

€800.- was earned for the pot.

Net of Net Niet (Just or Just Not)

Candidates have 20 minutes to launch several balls into floating targets using a slingshot. Meanwhile, candidates who aren't firing could enter Lake Shkodër where the targets are located to collect and return any balls that missed the targets. Each ball that landed inside a green target would earn money for the pot, however any balls that land in the nearby red target would deduct money from the pot.

No money was earned for the pot.

Waar Rook Is, Is Vuur (Where There's Smoke, There's Fire)

Candidates participate in a laser-game to earn money spread across a former cable factory. Three candidates at a time enter the factory and search for a box containing money which can be unlocked with their unique fingerprint. They must then take the money and return it to base to add it to the pot. During the assignment, there are opponents that can remove candidates’ lives by shooting them with a laser-gun. Any candidate who loses two lives are out of the game and lose any money they possess, however they can add up to two extra lives by pressing a red button found in the middle of the area. The time-limit is 45 minutes.

€740.- was earned for the pot.

Vakbondje (Little Unions)

As the group's treasurer, Hila is told she has no chance of an exemption and is separated from the group. She is then given the chance to earn a "black exemption" (an advantage that nullifies all Jokers and exemptions used during a test) by randomly selecting one of four envelopes. One of the envelopes contains the black exemption; however, she could spend €500 to only have to select from three envelopes, or €1,500 to only have to select from two envelopes for the black exemption.

The remaining eight candidates would be split into four pairs and would encounter a dilemma within the Skanderbeg Memorial. Each candidate begins with seven panels in front of them and each panel lists a different prize. The prizes are: (1) €1,000 for the pot; (2) One Joker; (3) 2 Jokers; (4) €1,500 for the pot;(5) 3 Jokers;(6) one exemption; (7) both one exemption. On Rik's go, each candidate would hold a bag of sand and step onto the first panel. They then had 30 seconds to decide whether or not to drop the bag of sand onto the panel to claim its prize. If they did, their opponent would be left with nothing. If neither player claimed the prize, they would both step onto the next panel and the process repeats. If both players reach the 7th and final panel, they would both receive an exemption.

Hila elected to spend €1,500.- to only have to select between two envelopes for the black exemption, which she successfully found. During her turn with Kim-Lian, Welmoed collected €1,500.- meaning that in total, no money was earned for the pot.

Luid Sprekers (Loud Speakers)

The Candidates were taking to a former Fertilizer Silo in Vlorë and divided into duos. Standing across from their respective partners, all the candidates had 5 minutes to make sure their partners remembered words from their own sheets. Candidates could only speak when a siren allows them to speak. If a Candidate speaks after the siren to stop speaking plays, €100 is removed from the pot per mistake. At the end of the assignment, if any candidate remembers specific numbers that were spoken during the assignment, that value would be added to the pot.

The number, 134, was correctly remembered, with Rik rounding the value up to 150. €150 was earned for the pot.

Hoog Spel Spelen (High Gameplay)

During lunch, the candidates were informed to make duos before returning to the Fertilizer Silos. The duos were split into two groups, the first remained on the ground, while the second were taken to the top of a Silo and given the option to abseil down. The group on the ground were given three options to predict what their duo partner in the Silo would do. Abseil normally down the Silo, Abseil upside down, or refuse to Abseil. They had to assign €250 or 2 jokers or nothing into three boxes representing the Abseiling choices. Whatever the Abseiling partner did, would be theirs to keep. The groups swap places once the first four have decided on their Abseiling choice.

€750.- was earned for the pot, however, only €500.- was added to the pot as Kim-Lian refused to reveal €250 that she earned with Hila.

Huis(ont)houden (Housekeeping/Remember Housekeeping)

In the city of Berat, Berat County, the Candidates formed duos again and dropped off at 4 different houses. With a time limit of 15 minutes, two duos had to describe the interiors of their respective houses to the other. Afterwards, the duos could study while travelling to the others' house and look for 5 differences made during the swap.

Returning to Rik, each duo had to make 5 guesses of differences made in their partnering duo's interior, adding €100 per correct difference spotted. The group managed to correctly identify 11 differences among the 4 houses, thus €1,100 was earned for the pot.

Uit de Lucht Gegrepen (Caught from the Air)

The night before, the candidate in possession of the Mole phone, and their roommate were instructed to leave the hotel earlier than the rest of the group for the Divjakë-Karavasta National Park. The five remaining candidates were then taken to the park's lagoon to be chained in five separate locations. The two earlier candidates were given six bags, which they had to deliver to the chained candidates along the lagoon. Using two motorized Gliders, they had to drop the bags to give the chained candidates clues on how to find a key to unlock themselves. Once unlocked, they can approach a locked box with a riddle hiding a four digit combination. Inside the box are instructions they must share over a walkie-talkie radio on where another candidate can find money buried near where they were chained. The Glider duo were given five black bags, and one pink bag, which they could drop for a candidate of their choosing to double their earnings. All chained candidates that could free themselves and find their buried money could ride a water taxi back to Rik. All freed candidates that reached Rik within 45 minutes would add their money to the pot.

Two candidates arrived in time, with one holding a Doubler from a pink bag. €750 was earned for the pot.

Zwanenmeer (Swan Lake)

Traveling to Lake Butrint near Sarandë, the candidates formed three duos to ride tandem hydrocycles. In 30 minutes, each duo had to ride upon the lake to retrieve inflatable swans that had correct statements relating to each of the duos. The seventh candidate was given a different criteria, where they had to find and retrieve swans that had various amounts of money attached to them. If they returned to the shore in time, the total amount of money the seventh candidate collected would be what the group earns for every correct statement linked to each duo retrieved by the end of the assignment.

With 14 correct statements retrieved and Thomas retrieving €57 as the solo candidate, the group earned €798; Rik rounded up the total, thus €800 was earned for the pot.

Tijdsbeeld (Image of Time)

Later at the Butrint National Park, the Candidates were informed of Albania's complicated history as a nation amidst an ancient city ruins. Placed in 5 locations around the park, stood 5 pillars, and 5 sculptures, that were in the wrong positions. With hints given at each location, the candidates had 45 minutes to move the pillars and sculptures to their rightful locations in the park. Rik provided the group with two choices. They could earn €200 per correct pillar and/or Sculpture at the correct location, or €2000 for everything in the correct position or nothing at all.

The group bet all or nothing on the assignment, which they completed just in time. €2,000 was earned for the pot.

In Het Verschiet (In the Offing)

Over a two part assignment, the candidates were divided into two groups of three: A group who would determine how much money could be earned, and a group who were not afraid of water and the dark who would retrieve the money. Starting at the Porto Palermo Castle, the first group are tasked with finding 4 keys hidden inside. The 4 keys would unlock 4 chests with bow and arrows, for which they would have to fire the arrows into the Porto Palermo Bay for the second group. The arrows give the second group a series of code combinations to use for their part of the assignment.

The second group must retrieve the arrows shot from the castle, before taken by speedboat to a former Russian Submarine base nearby. Using SUPs and magnets, they must paddle inside the entrance of the base to retrieve locked boxes on the sea floor. However, whenever the candidates pull the locked boxes above the water surface, two lifeguards inside the base will attempt to steal or knock off the boxes back into the water.

The candidates have an hour to complete the entire assignment and unlock as many locked boxes as possible. Out of the 6 locked boxes found in the Submarine base, only 4 were open in time. €1,400 was earned for the pot.

Reddingsactie (Rescue Action)

The next day the candidates were taken to the beach in Sarandë, where Rik informed them that they were going to play a complicated Tower of Hanoi puzzle using four sets of lifebuoys off shore. Off shore were 4 boats anchored with 5 lifebuoys of various amounts of money attached to their sides. The candidates were tasked to make sure all the boats had a total of €435 hanging off their sides. Starting with the smallest amount closest to the boat, to the largest hanging further away. With only 5 jetskis available, the last remaining candidate is stationed on a small dinghy with a map indicating the amounts of each boat. Each candidate on a jetski could only hold one lifebuoy at a time during the assignment. The candidates have 30 minutes to get as many correct totals on each of the boats.

With 3 out of the 4 boats having correctly hung lifebuoys, the group earned €1,305; Rik rounded up the total, thus €1,310 was earned for the pot.

Vakmanscha(a)p (Craftsmansheep)

In the neighbouring village of Ksamil, the candidates were taken to an old Roman footpath where 5 pens of sheep were kept. In half an hour, the candidates had to move and sort the sheep into their correct corresponding pens, split across a couple hundred meters away from each other. The pens and sheep were categorized by the Candidates' names.

For every correct sheep herded into the correct pen, €15 would be added to the pot. For every incorrect sheep in one of the pens, €50 would be removed from the pot. An additional rule placed by Rik was that for the entire assignment, the Candidates would be fined €50 everytime someone used the word, "Sheep."

Out of 100 sheep, the candidates managed to herd 29 into the correct pens, however, 19 sheep were also in the wrong pens. Additionally, the Candidates broke the "Sheep" rule 6 times, thus €815 was removed for the pot at the end of the assignment.

De Boot Missen? (Missed the Boat?)

The Candidates were taken to Ksamil beach, where each were offered a boat ride with the possibility of earning an Exemption for the Finale. While on the boat ride along the shore, the Candidates were given a camera to photograph 6 Milly's and Molly's. Tourists on the beach wearing Blue and White striped swimming outfits. For every correct photograph, the candidate would earn €50 for the pot. However, if a Candidate photographs a Crook, dressed in a yellow and black outfit, they would earn nothing for their ride. The Candidates could only take 6 photographs each for the assignment.

Only one Candidate photographed the Crook on the beach, nullifying their earnings, while the remaining Candidates managed to get 17 photographs altogether, thus €850 was earned for the pot.

Testafette

Arriving the following day at the Gjirokastër Fortress in Gjirokastër, Rik informed the Candidates that they were about to take the next test. Starting at the same time, the Candidates have to complete 3 small tasks in the Castle Courtyard before they were allowed to pick which laptop they could write the test. The tasks in order were: 1. Construct a pole high enough to retrieve small pouches hanging above on the Courtyard structure. 2. Using metal pellets from the pouches and a slingshot, shoot and break 3 glass bottles against the Courtyard wall. 3. Solve a small 3D Cube puzzle.

Once a Candidate has completed all three tasks, they were given the option of 5 laptops to choose from. One laptop held a Question Mark card; one laptop had nothing; and the three remaining would add 1, 2, or 3 minutes to the Candidate's test time if chosen. Any Candidates that held an Exemption and chose to use it, could skip the assignment completely and proceed to the next Episode. Fresia chose to use her Exemption, skipping the entire assignment.

After the Candidates had completed their tests, Rik informed the Candidate who picked the Question Mark laptop that their results weren't currently included in the Execution ceremony. If they want to keep it that way, they had to pick one of the remaining Candidates who they thought did the worst on the test. If the Candidate they picked received a Red Screen, they would be executed from the game. However, if the prediction is incorrect, the Question Mark Candidate's results would be added to the Execution ceremony as usual, leaving them at risk of being executed from the game again. Thomas had picked the Question Mark laptop, and picked Laetitia. His selection was correct, granting himself a retrospective Exemption and sending Laetitia home.

Carpet Diem

Standing in the city center of Gjirokastër, Rik informed the candidates about the town's fame for its rugs. Starting with a large rug in the city center, the candidates were given 45 minutes to cover as much of the streets with rugs from the local shops as possible. For every linear meter the candidates cover with the rugs, they would earn €10.- for the pot. They could approach and ask the locals to borrow rugs for the assignment. The maximum they could earn for the assignment was €2,500.-.

The group managed to cover 2 streets, with a final measurement of 44,5m, thus €445 was added to the pot.

Heftig (Fierce)

Arriving in Durrës Harbor, the candidates were divided into pairs: One pair who weren't afraid of heights and could compose questions; and one pair who'd remain on the ground to provide answers. With a time limit of 45 minutes, the first pair would try to read out a list of fast rotating questions off laptops from a crane above the harbor. The pair on the ground had access to 18 containers with names of the season's candidates attached, and to a forklift. At the end of the assignment, if the group managed to move all but 1 container off the playing field in the harbor, inside they could find €1,500.-.

The 17 questions related to the assignments that have played out throughout the season, and would be split apart into two sentences, leaving the Crane pair to figure out what are the real compositions of the questions. While the ground pair would instruct Forklift drivers to move the containers. At the end of the assignment, if there were more than 1 container left, the Ground pair would be given a choice by Rik. The Ground pair could pick the correct container themselves, or they could consult one more time with the Crane pair before making a selection, at the cost of halving their potential winnings for this assignment.

The Ground Pair chose not to consult with the Crane pair, and picked a wrong Container; thus nothing was earned for the pot.

Zand Erover (Sand It Over)

Before returning to Tirana, Rik gathered the candidates for a late afternoon assignment at the beach in Durrës. The candidates were instructed to meet Rik for drinks at a beach bar in half an hour, arriving on scooters. The catch was that the scooters were disassembled and buried under the beach they were standing on. For every candidate that arrives on time on a scooter, €500.- would be added to the pot. If a candidate arrived without a scooter, nothing would be added to the pot; and lastly, for every candidate that arrived late, €500.- would be removed from the pot.

The candidates managed to assemble 1 scooter and arrive before the time limit was up; thus €500.- was earned for the pot.

Alarmerend (Alarming)

In the former residence of Enver Hoxha, Albania's former Head of State during the 20th Century, the Finalists were tasked to raid the house in search of money for the pot. Hidden throughout the first floor of the building were keys that could unlock safes, and paper money for the Finalists to find. Along with alarms and laser beams that the Finalists must avoid tripping. One at a time, the Finalists must explore the first floor, with assistance from the other two Finalists from a separate control room full of photographs and maps detailing the alarms and hiding positions of keys, safes, and money. Once inside the house, each Finalist would have 3 lives, losing 1 for every time they trip an alarm. After they have lost their first life, a Security Guard enters the floor to seek the Finalist. If a Finalist loses all their lives, or is found by the Security Guard, all money in their possession is removed from the assignment. Each Finalist has 15 minutes to explore the first floor for up to €2,000.- to the group pot.

The group recovered €970 from the house for the group pot.

Afrekenen (Checkout)

Arriving late at night to a shopping Expo in the midst of Tirana, the Finalists were given a grocery list by Rik to complete in darkness. Using only their shopping cart as protection, each Finalist must traverse through a Grocery Store set to retrieve items from Rik's list and check them out at the front of the store. All while dodging laser gun armed guards throughout the aisles. The Finalists each were given 15 minutes to check out as many items on the list as possible to earn up to €2,000.-. And if a Finalist is shot by a guard, their round is over. However, all items they collected in their shopping cart are left in the storefront for the other Finalists to checkout themselves. The active Finalist could communicate with the others stationed outside the Storefront looking in.

The Finalists managed to checkout enough items to earn €325 for the group pot.

Binnenskamers (Indoor Rooms)

The Finalists were taken to the House of Leaves in Tirana for the last assignment of the season. Using the now Museum as a base of operations, the Finalists had 45 minutes to find a spy somewhere in the city with an envelope holding €2,000.-. Inside the Museum were three tasks which would help the finalists pinpoint who out of 5 potential suspects held the money. The first task persisted of deciphering letters to learn about different espionage terminology for spies and their roles, the second task involved observing CCTV footage of the 5 suspects to determine their roles as spies, and lastly cross-examining photographs in the Darkroom exhibit to assign photographs with the 5 suspects to retrieve a secret message on the back of the photographs. Once the Finalists have selected their prime suspect, they must leave the museum to the address belonging to their suspect to receive an envelope with money. If the Finalists are wrong, they could potentially lose money from the pot.

The Finalists arrived at the address for the Bridge Agent suspect, where upon opening the envelope discovered they were incorrect and received minus money in the envelope; thus €1,000.- was removed for the final pot.

Throughout the Season's Execution Ceremonies, the Executed Candidates were given an invitation from the Mole by Rik before leaving the game; inviting them to a Masked Ball at the Royal Palace in Albania for the Mole's Unmasking. After a catch up with the 8 Executed Candidates at the Live Reveal, Rik revealed what had happened in the Masked Ball back in Albania in September 2021. After the Executed Candidates were revealed at the Masked Ball, Everon unmasked himself at the Reunion as the Mole of 2022.

After the reveal of the Mole's identity, €5,000.- was removed from the pot due to Glen giving Everon an Exemption after the results of the Livestream assignment, Ontmaskerd?. Rik revealed that Kim-Lian had suspected Everon from the very beginning, while Fresia had narrowly avoided execution, performing the second worst next to Glen in Episode 2 before she focused on Everon from Episode 3 onwards. Further sabotages by Everon, as the Candidate who was the last Treasurer for the group, saw another €270.- was removed from the pot under his watch. After examining some of Everon's sabotage, leaving a new record lowest Winner's pot of €8,065.-; Rik revealed that both Fresia and Kim-Lian had tied on the final test with a score of 34 out of 40 each, before announcing with a faster test time by 50 seconds, that Fresia Cousiño Arias had become the Winner of Wie is de Mol 2022.

**Notes**

1. During the (Af)troeven assignment, Arno, Laetitia and Welmoed broke a key while unlocking one of the boxes during the assignment. However, Laetitia and Welmoed noticed the box had partially opened at that point and could still grab the three Jokers inside. They decided to not reveal this at the conclusion of the assignment and used a Joker each for the first execution test. Welmoed used the last Joker for the second execution test.
2. As Glen won an Exemption in Ontmaskerd? His execution from the game reduced the chance of the group losing €5000 from the final pot; unless Everon is revealed to be the Mole.
3. Arno's Exemption, and two of Thomas' Jokers were nullified by Hila's Black Exemption used at this Execution.
4. Fresia, Laetitia and Sahil all chose to keep their Exemptions they earned instead of using them for this Execution.
5. Kim-Lian earned €250 in this assignment, but chose not to reveal it and add it to the pot. The total amount earned reflects her decision.
6. Revealed after the Execution, Sahil had given the Joker he received in Hoog Spel Spelen to Arno for safekeeping. However, Arno was executed from the game with his own and Sahil's Jokers in his possession, removing Sahil's Joker from the game.
7. With Arno being the Netherlands' biggest suspect in the Ontmaskerd? Livestream, his execution meant the group would not earn €5000 towards the final pot.
8. Between Episode 5 and 6, €100.- went missing from the Pot Count without explanation.
9. Despite earning an exemption in Vakbondjes, Sahil had not used it up until this test and execution. His execution meant leaving the game with the unused exemption in his possession.
10. For choosing to take his test with a Question Mark next to his laptop, Thomas was given a dilemma. Rik informed him that his test results were excluded from the Execution, and would remain that way if he correctly predicts who among the rest of the candidates did the worst on the test. If he was correct, that candidate would be executed from the game. If he was incorrect, his results would be included and the Execution would continue as normal. Thomas was correct, and essentially secured himself an exemption at a same time.

## Mole Sabotage

Everon as the Mole had one goal in mind; to have the lowest pot ever in the history of the game. Knowing in advance all the assignments, and the Ontmaskerd? livestream gave him the perfect opportunity to secretly begin the season with a bang while winning his fellow Candidates' hearts.

**Ontmaskerd?:** Even though Everon knew how to sabotage the two previous assignments in Episode 1, he chose to play the assignments as a genuine candidate, and utilize the time they had overnight to bond with his fellow candidates. Knowing that it was impossible for anyone to actively win the audience vote as the least suspected candidate, Everon sought to be the Exemption winner's choice for the second Exemption. To his fortune, Glen without hesistating gave Everon the second Exemption, unknowingly removing €5,000.- from the pot in the Finale.

**Binnen en Buiten Bereik:** Throughout his turn in the assignment, he'd flip dice away from showing 1; he cheated by using his hands in separating green and red marbles instead of using chopsticks as instructed; and lastly, as the Ping Pong balls consisted of the most money to be earned in the assignment, he would seek the balls with the highest money value so that he could throw them out of contention in the assignment.

**Waar Rook Is, Is Vuur:** While the Candidates were instructed that their thumbprints could open only 1 box hidden throughout the laser game assignment, Everon's could open all the boxes. While running the assignment with Kim-Lian and Fresia, Everon secretly extracted money from 7 boxes before getting shot to remove the money from the rest of the group's hands. (Side note: It was revealed that Sahil had been the person who shot Arno out of the assignment, unbeknownst to the two of them, while handing back the same €50 note to safety.)

**Vakbondjes:** Knowing that he also had to appear as a genuine candidate, Everon chose to use this assignment to play up his disappointment with Thomas choosing Jokers for himself instead of an Exemption for the both of them. His performance had rattled Thomas that they had to make amends after surviving the third Execution together. However, this was the assignment that had put Everon on both Thomas and Fresia's radar due to his emotional response. Everon's intentions were to take the 3 Jokers for himself, but Thomas beat him to it.

**Uit de Lucht Gegrepen:** The bag that Fresia had thrown to Everon from the glider had landed a lot closer to him than appeared. He managed to both reach the bag, and find his key with ease. But chose to pretend he couldn't reach while in the sight of the gliders, and buried his key again. If he was unable to free himself, it meant Hila couldn't get any information from him and earn money for the assignment.

**Zwanenmeer:** Teamed up with Laetitia, Everon would tell her to attach Swans to their Hydrobike with incorrect statements. And at one point while Laetitia was in the water, he fiddled with the walkie-talkie radio they were using so that the rest of the group couldn't communicate with them easily for the remainder of the assignment.

**In Het Verschiet:** During his preparations for the Season, Everon prepared for both parts of the assignment. However, as he was chosen to enter the Castle, he chose to try and hide as many keys as possible to cut down on the amount of money the second group could earn on their part of the assignment. He decided to find one key in front of Laetitia and Fresia to misdirect he had thrown out another. The key he had thrown out made sure €1,050.- was removed midway through the assignment. He had intended to poorly shoot any arrows he had, but Laetitia and Fresia's excellent performance would have made his shots look suspicious.

**De Boot Missen?:** While not a sabotage itself, Everon rode in a boat accompanying the fellow Candidates during the assignment. After almost getting spotted by Laetitia and Fresia, he became more bold with other candidates, waving and calling for their attention.

**Carpet Diem:** The night before the assignment, Everon went out to a local pub in Gjirokastër to chat with locals about the carpets the group would need to borrow. Learning how to speak some Albanian phrases, during the assignment, he'd ask for small carpets, and overlap them instead of spreading them out. Making sure the group covered as few meters of the streets as possible.

**Heftig:** With the knowledge of which container the money was hidden in for the assignment, Everon had instructed the forklift operator to remove the correct container while the others were distracted with each other. And then let Thomas pick the final container to put the blame on him when they found nothing inside.

**Zand Erover:** While the Candidates were giving their Confessionals after the Heftig assignment, Everon was tasked to hide the scooter parts for this assignment in the beach near by. Telling the locals and tourists to not move or listen to the other candidates while they searched with the metal detectors. While using the metal detector, he'd lead the others to spots where he knew no parts were hidden by him. With how difficult he made the assignment, the candidates could only find 1 out of the 4 scooters in time.

**Binnenskamers:** During the assignment, Everon managed to get the suspect photographs to drop to the floor, making sure important photographs went missing for the assignment. This was difficult as he was aware that both Fresia and Kim-Lian were watching his movements thoroughly on the last assignment.

**Treasurer and Kim-Lian's Theft:** When Hila was executed from the game, she entrusted Everon with the role of the Group's new Treasurer. He immediately approached Kim-Lian about the missing €250 in her possession, as a means to make himself appear like a genuine Candidate. However, it turned out, that Kim-Lian had stolen another €20 from the pot in the Alarmerend assignment. Under the guise of not telling Fresia about Kim-Lian's thefts, Everon decided to flush the stolen money down the toilet in a hotel bathroom to get rid of the evidence.

**The Missing €100:** It turns out, that some of the coins the candidates had collected as money for the pot had gone missing in the Candidates' bus around the time after Hila's execution, and never returned to the pot. Thus the €100.- discrepancy between Episode 5 and 6.

**Further Sabotages:** During his round in the Alarmerend assignment, Everon actually consumed some of the money he found hidden throughout the assignment instead of bringing as much as he could in. While in Testafette, he cheated with the slingshot task to get ahead of the fanatical candidates he was competing against.

## Hidden Clues

**Masked Money** In connect to the Masked Ball theme of the season, all the Minus Money the Candidates could earn had Everon's eyes hidden behind the masks. While all the Positive Money throughout the season had everyone else's eyes behind the masks.

**Episode 1 - (Af)Troeven:** In the beginning of the episode, Rik would inform the Candidates on which team they would take part in the first assignment. The only Candidate who didn't receive such instructions was Everon; as he already knew because he assigned the teams. Another hint in the first assignment was the large scale matchstick puzzle: 3 - 0 = 5; highlighting Everon's Birthday, the 30th of May. Lastly, Rik mentioned at the end of the assignment that the money had a hint on it. Troeven could be found on the €100 note, where removing the t, you could unscramble Everon's name from it.

**Everon's Vest:** The green vest that Everon wore often throughout the season had 'Bird 33' written on the back. A lot of hints throughout the season related to multiples of 11. 11 players, the 22nd season; 11 + 22 = 33. While the Albanian Flag has a crest with a two headed bird in the center, similar to the two face nature of playing the Mole.

**Episode 5 - Kettingsreactie:** The Title for this Episode relates to the cause and effect of Everon's sabotage in Uit de Lucht Gegrepen. As Everon chose not to free himself in the assignment, he prevented Hila from receiving information that could help her find money for the pot. The start of a Chain Reaction, a Kettingsreactie.

**Episode 8 - Mollenvanger:** Inside the Episode's title was Everon's name. The Mole everyone is trying to catch.

**Reddingsactie:** At the debriefing of the Reddingsactie assignment, Rik himself gave a hint to the Candidates and the audience, "... en misschien wel belangrijker is dat jullie weer een nieuwe informatie hebben over de Mol in de midden..." ("... and perhaps more importantly, you have some new information about the Mole in the middle..") Everon was situated in the middle of the assignment on the dinghy with the map and information.

**Carpet Diem:** The carpet in which Rik stands on at the briefing for the assignment, had symbols showing the initials of Everon's name along its border. E and H, Everon Hooi.

title: Wig wag (washing machines)

abstract: The wig-wag is the common name for the unusual solenoid mechanism used in belt-drive washing machines made by Whirlpool, Kenmore and many others, from approximately 1950 to 1987 in the United States.

# Wig wag (washing machines)

The **wig-wag** is the common name for the unusual solenoid mechanism used in belt-drive washing machines made by Whirlpool, Kenmore (manufactured by Whirlpool) and many others, from approximately 1950 to 1987 in the United States. It was used in belt-drive Brastemp and Consul models built in Brazil from 1959 to 1990.

They were common in US-style top-loading vertical-axis machines, not used in European front-loading horizontal-axis machines. Horizontal-axis machines rotate the drum to both agitate the clothes during washing and to spin them dry. A multi-speed motor is used instead of clutches.

## Operation

A vertical axis washing machine has two mechanisms: a central agitator for washing and a drum for spinning, both driven by the same motor and controlled independently by clutches to the belt drive.

The wig-wag is mounted atop the washing machine's transmission, where it oscillates back and forth like a railroad signaling wigwag (hence the name). When either solenoid is engaged, a rod catches and engages the transmission in the desired mode. A wig-wag is a form of servomechanism; the coils are not powerful enough to engage the belt clutch themselves, but they can move their pins within the cam bar, then the mechanical oscillation of the wig-wag provides the force to push the cam bar and engage the belt clutch. When a solenoid is de-energized, the pin drops due to gravity.

One of the wig-wag's solenoids is turned on to engage agitation during wash mode; the other solenoid is turned on to engage the spin-dry mode. The motor must be turned on before the solenoids are powered. Only one solenoid may be operated at a time. When neither solenoid is engaged, the transmission is in neutral and only the pump is operating to drain water out of the tub.

During a normal cycle, most Whirlpool-built wig-wag equipped washers will fill, start the motor, then engage the wash solenoid. Upon completion of the wash mode, the wash (agitate) solenoid will be turned off, which will allow the pump to drain the tub. After a minute or two, the timer will then engage the spin wig-wag which will cause the rotation of the tub. This is in contrast to some other top-load washing machines which start spinning and draining simultaneously. There are no pauses between cycles in these machines.

## Problems with the wig-wag mechanism

There are three failures with the wig-wag mechanism. The first is that a solenoid tends to jam, often due to corrosion from operating in a damp environment or grease/dirt getting into the solenoid and preventing gravity from making the pin drop. The second common failure is peculiar to the wig-wag - since the wires which operate the solenoids are constantly being flexed by the motion of the wig-wag, they tend to break causing the wash or spin cycle not to engage. The third typical failure is a short inside a solenoid's coil, which will eventually burn out the coil itself and create a discontinuity within it.

# Wild Horse Butte

**Wild Horse Butte** is a 5,760-foot (1,756-meter) elevation summit located in Goblin Valley State Park, in Emery County, Utah. Wild Horse Butte is situated 2.3 mi (3.7 km) west of Mollys Castle, and the top of this geological feature rises over 800 feet above its surrounding terrain, with precipitation runoff from Wild Horse Butte entering the Colorado River drainage basin. John C. Frémont's fifth expedition (1853–1854) stopped at Wild Horse Butte in January 1854, when Solomon Nunes Carvalho recorded a daguerreotype image of this butte.

## Geology

This butte is set within the San Rafael Desert on the southeastern edge of the San Rafael Swell. Wild Horse Butte is composed of four exposed formations of Jurassic rock. The top layer is Morrison Formation caprock. The Morrison Formation is famous for dinosaur bones found within it. Although no dinosaur bone discoveries have been reported on Wild Horse Butte, they have been found just west in this formation. This overlays the cliff-forming Summerville Formation, which consists of distinctive, thin beds of shale, siltstone, and sandstone. Thin beds and veinlets of gypsum found within the shale suggest a dry climate where ponded tidal water readily evaporated. Below Summerville is the slope-forming, lightly-colored Curtis Formation. The bottom layer is dark, reddish Entrada Sandstone, which is also the composition of the hoodoos that give Goblin Valley its name.

## Climate

Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Wild Horse Butte. According to the Köppen climate classification system, it is located in a Cold semi-arid climate zone, which is defined by the coldest month having an average mean temperature below −0 °C (32 °F) and at least 50% of the total annual precipitation being received during the spring and summer. This desert climate receives less than 10 inches (250 millimetres) of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.

# Wilhelm Walcher

**Wilhelm Walcher** (7 July 1910 in Kaufbeuren  9 November 2005 in Marburg) was a German experimental physicist. During World War II, he worked on the German nuclear energy project, also known as the Uranium Club; he worked on mass spectrometers for isotope separation. After the war, he was director of the Institute of Physics at the University of Marburg. He was a president of the German Physical Society and a vice president of the German Research Foundation. He helped found the Society for Heavy Ion Research and the German Electron Synchrotron DESY. He was also one of the 18 signatories of the Göttingen Manifest.

## Education

From 1929 to 1935, Walcher studied at the *Technische Hochschule München* (today, the Technische Universität München) and the *Technische Hochschule Berlin* (today, the Technische Universität Berlin. At Berlin, he was a teaching assistant to Gustav Hertz, Hans Kopfermann, Wilhelm Heinrich Westphal, and Hans Geiger. In 1933, on the advice of Hertz, he became a member of the  *Nationalsozialistischer Kraftfahrer Korps* (NSKK, National Socialist Motorist Corps). He received his doctorate in 1937, at the *Technische Hochschule Berlin*, under Kopfermann.

## Career

In 1937, Walcher became a teaching assistant to Hans Kopfermann, who had taken an appointment at the *Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel*; Walcher was his teaching assistant there until 1942. At Kiel, Walcher developed a mass spectrograph for both isotope separation and determination of the degree of enrichment of uranium samples. From 1940, he worked on the German nuclear energy project, also known as the *Uranverein* (Uranium Club), under which he worked on two mass spectrometers to determine the composition of isotope mixtures and for neutron-spin analysis

In 1942, Walcher’s *Habilitationsschrift* was rejected on the basis of “political unreliability.” However, Hans Kopfermann, a principal in the *Uranverein*, had become the Director of the Second Experimental Physics Institute at the *Georg-August University of Göttingen* in 1942 and he successfully intervened on Walcher’s behalf so that the *Habilitation* from the University of Kiel was conferred. From 1942 to 1947, Walcher was a Privatdozent at the University of Göttingen.

From 1947 to 1978, Walcher was an *ordentlicher Professor* (ordinarius professor) of experimental physics and director of the *Physikalischen Institut* (Physics Institute) at *Philipps-Universität Marburg*. He was *Rektor* (Rector) of the University from 1952 to 1954.

From 1960 to 1961, Walcher was president of the *Deutsche Physikalische Gesellschaft*. He was the vice president of the *Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft* (DGF, German Research Foundation) from 1961 to 1967.

Walcher was a co-initiator of the *Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung* (GSI, Society for Heavy Ion Research) in Darmstadt and the *Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron* (DESY, German Electron Synchrotron) in Hamburg.

In 1957, Walcher was one of the 18 signers of the Göttinger Manifest, which opposed the rearming of Germany with nuclear weapons.

## Honors

Walcher received honors for his contributions to Germany and the German physics community:

## Internal Reports

The following report was published in *Kernphysikalische Forschungsberichte* (*Research Reports in Nuclear Physics*), an internal publication of the German *Uranverein*. The reports were classified Top Secret, they had very limited distribution, and the authors were not allowed to keep copies. The reports were confiscated under the Allied Operation Alsos and sent to the United States Atomic Energy Commission for evaluation. In 1971, the reports were declassified and returned to Germany. The reports are available at the Karlsruhe Nuclear Research Center and the American Institute of Physics.

# William A. Slacum

**William A. Slacum** (c. 1799 - November 1, 1839) was an American sailor and diplomat. He served as a purser in the United States Navy and received a Presidential commission to gather information on the Oregon Country. At that time the region was under the jurisdiction of both the United States and Great Britain. Previously, Slacum served as a diplomat to Mexico.

## Early life

Slacum was likely born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. Slacum's family included sister Mary Louisa Slacum Benham and brother George Washington Slacum who served as a consul in the State Department.

On June 8, 1829, William Slacum joined the United States Navy. During his naval career in 1831, Slacum was the purser aboard the USS *Potomac* as that ship spent four years at sea circumnavigating the globe. Then from 1835 to 1836 Slacum served in Mexico as a Special Diplomatic Agent for the United States. During this time Slacum sent a letter to President Andrew Jackson praising California, then under control of Mexico. This letter is credited with raising Jackson's interest in acquiring that region.

## Oregon

In 1835 Lieutenant Slacum was selected by President Jackson to travel to Oregon Country to gather information on the affairs of the region. Dated November 11, 1835, Slacum was ordered to inquire about the inhabitants and prospects of those white inhabitants living along the Columbia River. Slacum then sailed from Guaymas, Mexico on June 1, 1836, for the Sandwich Islands, arriving there on November 5, 1836. There he chartered the ship *Loriot* for the trip to the Columbia River sailing on November 24. On December 22, 1836, the Loriot sailed into the Columbia.

Slacum then spent time interviewing Hudson's Bay Company officials such as Dr. John McLoughlin and James Douglas at Fort Vancouver. After this he then spent four days on French Prairie with the missionary Jason Lee examining the settlements. Here Slacum helped to convince pioneer Ewing Young to give up his efforts to build a distillery and travel to California in order to purchase cattle that would then be driven overland back to Oregon. After this brief stay and information gathering, Lt. Slacum prepared to leave. On February 10, 1837, Slacum left the Columbia and sailed for California. By February 19, the *Loriot* with Slacum and some settlers in tow arrived at Fort Ross in California. Here the settlers and Slacum parted ways.

### Willamette Cattle Company

While in the Willamette Valley, Slacum noted the dependency of the pioneers on the Hudson's Bay Company. This was especially true when it came to cattle, as the HBC only leased cattle to the settlers. Any offspring were the property of the HBC. So the lieutenant offered to take any of the settlers to California to buy cattle, and even provided $500 for the venture.

## Congress

After returning to the United States, William Slacum prepared a report on the information he gathered on the Northwest Coast. In his report that was read in Congress on December 18, 1837, Slacum details the activities in the region and advocated that the United States extend jurisdiction over this area with a border of no further south than the 49th parallel. Amongst other things, one recommendation of his was to cut a channel through Cape Disappointment in order to improve accessibility to the Columbia River and avoid the dangerous bar of the river.

On November 1, 1839, Slacum died. After his death, Slacum's estate tried to receive funds from the United States government for Slacum's expenses from his trip to the Oregon Country.

# William Augustus Hancock

**William Augustus Hancock** (May 17, 1831 – March 24, 1902) was an American pioneer, attorney, and politician. Arriving in Arizona Territory during the American Civil War, he settled in the Salt River Valley. There he performed the survey work required to create the town of Phoenix as well as holding a variety of governmental offices at the city and county levels.

## Biography

Hancock was born in Barre, Massachusetts, on May 17, 1831, into a family of New England farmers. He was educated in local schools and at Leicester Academy. In 1853, Hancock joined with two of his brothers and purchased some livestock in Iowa and then drove their herd to California. Upon his arrival, Hancock engaged in ranching and mining in Sacramento County Following an 1857 visit to his hometown, Hancock returned to California with a Thoroughbred stallion and several other horses.

In 1864, during the American Civil War, Hancock enlisted in Company K of the 7th Regiment California Volunteer Infantry. His unit was assigned to Fort Yuma in February 1865. There Hancock was reassigned to the 1st Arizona Volunteers and commissioned a second lieutenant. From Fort Yuma, he was transferred to Fort McDowell, Arizona, and placed in charge of a unit of Pima Indians fighting in the Apache Wars. Hancock left the military in September 1866 as a first lieutenant and, following the traditions of the day, became known as "Captain" Hancock.

After leaving the military, Hancock operated a trading post near his former post. In May 1870, he moved to the Salt River Valley. There, on November 10, 1870, he was hired by the Salt River Valley Town Association to survey and plat a townsite for the foundation of Phoenix. By December 10, Hancock had completed enough surveying work to allow for initial sale of plots on the eastern side of the new town. The next year Hancock built Phoenix's first adobe home. It is unclear as to whether the structure was the first building in Phoenix or only the first building constructed after the townsite was selected. In addition to being Hancock's home, the building also served as a general store, butcher shop, town hall, county office and general meeting place.

Hancock continued to perform survey and civil engineering work in the Salt River Valley for several years. Before he was done he had completed the initial town site and several irrigation canals and drainage ditches. To this he added several other jobs. Hancock became Phoenix's postmaster in 1871, a position he held for eight years. He was appointed sheriff for Maricopa County when the county was formed. About the same time he was appointed to a four-year term as district attorney. When he was appointed probate judge he became the *ex officio* superintendent of the county school board. For several years he was a partner of Charles Austin Tweed in a law firm which they established. He continued to practice after the death of his partner. In 1886, Hancock won election to another term as county attorney.

When the Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad reached Phoenix in 1887, Hancock drove the final spike in the new rail line. He was also active in several irrigation projects. In 1900, Hancock proposed a company that would build flood control dams and provide irrigation water to 275,000 acres (1,110 km2) of land in the Salt River valley. The proposal would eventually result in the creation of the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association His final years were additionally spent representing another dam project on the Agua Fria River.

Hancock died in Phoenix from nephritis on March 24, 1902, and was buried in Phoenix's Pioneer and Military Memorial Park. He was widely respected and mourned at the time of his death. Hancock Butte, near the north rim of the Grand Canyon, is named in his memory.

# William Cavendish-Bentinck, 7th Duke of Portland

**William Arthur Henry Cavendish-Bentinck, 7th Duke of Portland**, KG (16 March 1893 – 21 March 1977), styled **Marquess of Titchfield** until 1943, was a British peer and Conservative politician.

## Biography

Portland was the elder son of William Cavendish-Bentinck, 6th Duke of Portland, and his wife, Winifred Anna (née Dallas-Yorke). He was elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Newark in 1922, a seat he held until he succeeded his father in the dukedom in 1943, and served as a Junior Lord of the Treasury under Stanley Baldwin from 1927 to 1929 and under Ramsay MacDonald in 1932. He also held the honorary posts of Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire between 1939 and 1962 and was the second Chancellor of the University of Nottingham between 1954 and 1971. In 1948 he was made a Knight Companion of the Garter. He also held the appointment of the honorary air commodore of No. 616 Squadron RAF.

## Marriage and children

Portland married Ivy Gordon-Lennox, daughter of Colonel Lord Algernon Charles Gordon-Lennox and granddaughter of Charles Gordon-Lennox, 6th Duke of Richmond, on 12 August 1915. They had two daughters:

He died in March 1977, aged 84, and was interred at the traditional burial place of the Dukes of Portland, in the churchyard of St Winifred's Church at Holbeck.

He was succeeded in the dukedom by his third cousin Ferdinand Cavendish-Bentinck. The subsidiary title Baron Bolsover became extinct on the death.

The heir to the Duke's titles was a distant cousin. Rather than allow the entailed estates to pass with the titles, the Duke arranged to break the entails and thus enrich his own daughters while permanently denuding the titles of both wealth and long-standing rootedness in land and country. The family seat of Welbeck Abbey passed to his elder daughter, Lady Anne, who never married; upon her death, it passed to the son of her deceased younger sister, Lady Margaret, who had died in 1955 aged 36. Lady Margaret had been married to Don Gaetano Parente, Principe di Castel Viscardo, Italy. Her son, named William Henry Marcello Parente (born 18 February 1951), inherited the estates and later served as High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire in 2003. Meanwhile, the 8th Duke of Portland, who had inherited the titles, continued to live very modestly in Nairobi.

Portland was a second cousin of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.

## Wealth

Little is published of his wealth. His probate was sworn in 1977 at £4,391,478 (equivalent to about £34,500,000 in 2023), three times that of his father's assets passing at point of death (in real terms).

**William Craig Rice** (May 4, 1955 – June 20, 2016) was an American educator. He was the Director of the Division of Education Programs of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

## Career

Rice was born in 1955 in Washington, D.C. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Virginia, where his studies focused on English and American literature. He later earned an M.F.A. and a doctorate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he won a Hopwood Writing Award and the Brubacher Prize in the History of Education. His publications include: *Public Discourse & Academic Inquiry*, a study in the sociology of knowledge; *Characteristics of Exemplary Schools*; a special edited volume of the *Harvard Review* commemorating Seamus Heaney's Nobel Prize; and more than fifty articles, reviews, essays, stories, and poems in such periodicals as *The New Criterion*, *Policy Review*, *The Sewanee Review*, *The Washington Post*, and *The Common Review: The Magazine of the Great Books Foundation*. He has also worked as an Alfa Romeo mechanic, a warden at the Adirondack Mountain Reserve, and the manager of an antiques shop.

After his studies at the University of Virginia, he taught at the Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee, at Temple University, and at the University of Pennsylvania; and then undertook graduate studies at the University of Michigan. From 1992 to 2001, he taught expository writing in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University, where he also edited non-fiction for the *Harvard Review*. While at Harvard he became involved in education reform as a consultant to the Massachusetts Board of Education, helping to reshape curriculum frameworks and assessment in English Language Arts. He has been a Visiting Fellow at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, and at the American Enterprise Institute; an Ella Baker Fellow at Antioch New England Graduate School; a consultant to the John Templeton Foundation; and from 2001 to 2004 a staff member at the American Academy for Liberal Education, where he created new K-12 programs. Furthermore, he has been a consultant to the American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence, which offers an alternative route into the K-12 classroom for liberal arts college graduates and career-switching professionals, and also to the education reform organization Achieve, which has launched the American Diploma Project to raise academic expectations in American high schools.

In 2004 he was appointed the President of Shimer College, where he also served as a professor of English, Education, and the Humanities. Amid controversy, the Shimer College Board of Trustees announced in January 2006 that at his urging it had accepted an invitation to move the school to the Illinois Institute of Technology campus on the south side of Chicago. The move was completed in August of the same year. In August 2007 he left Shimer in order to accept a position with the NEH. He also served as a Visitor of Ralston College. On June 20, 2016, he died of a heart attack while traveling for an NEH site visit in Philadelphia.
