They included chipper Myrtle Davis, 49, Southern Baptist schoolteacher from Buford, Ga., who won the Bible quiz on the $64,000 Challenge; tiny Irene Santos, 39, a Seventh-day Adventist schoolteacher from Brazil; tall Roman Catholic Paul Guillamier, 19, of Malta, who brought his parish priest with him; matronly Protestant Convert Sara Rabinowitz of Mexico.
