Gem State capital :
BOISE
Boise, Idaho is the capital and the largest metropolitan area in the state by far. There are a number of stories pertaining to the etymology of the name “Boise”.

“head of the shop”
is a game show that originally aired from 1983 to 1986. This was the show on which contestants had to press a large button in order to stop a light that was flashing around 18 squares in front of them. If the light stopped on a “Whammy”, then they lost their turn and any accumulated money. Famously, a contestant named Michael Larson used the stop-motion feature on a VCR player to memorize the pattern flashed out by the supposedly random light. On air, Larson pressed the button and avoided the Whammy 45 times in a row and amassed winnings of over $110,000, a record for a daily game show.
