I can't 100 per cent confirm maybe 85% confirm that there hasn't been a monopoly musical starring Tommy Tutone and that Monopoly hasn't been played on the moon although one site said that there has been specially engineered games made for the Space Shuttle. So for the last True statement I would go with C- Castro.
