Lorinda is originally from a town where everybody knows her name, Porcupine Plains, Saskatchewan, Canada. Everyone in this small town of about a thousand people is so excited that Lorinda is on the show.
Do they actually get the show there?

$16,000 * Straddling the Line
Which of these countries is situated partly on one continent and partly on another?
A: Romania B: Ukraine
C: Belarus D: Turkey
With 20 seconds left, Lorinda decides to Ask The Expert. Today's expert is the host of CNBC's
"On The Money", Carmen Wong Aldritch.
Carmen: Lorinda, we're talking some money here, aren't we?
Lorinda: Yeah!
Carmen: These have borders that changed! So, I'm leaning towards B and C. What were you leaning towards?
Lorinda: Well, I think that it's D, because I seem to remember back in geography that Turkey was kind of the gateway to the the eastern culture and had a foot in the west. So I'm leaning towards Turkey and that's kind of what came to me as I had a minute while I was waiting to talk to you. Do you remember anything like that when you were in school?
Carmen: I was leaning in the other direction, towards Europe. I was thinking the other borders, but--yeah.
Meredith: All right.
Lorinda: I'm going to take a little gamble and say C: Turkey, final answer.

Transcriber's note: Meredith does not notice or remark on the fact that Lorinda has said the wrong choice letter with the right choice country.

I guess there's some justification for Ukraine being considered as a possible answer, depending upon how the boundaries between Europe and Asia are drawn (I wouldn't consider it likely). Good for Lorinda for taking the chance. This is also a classic case of using the ATE to collect one's own thoughts.

$25,000 * Slang Thang
Which of these funny-sounding engineering slang for a clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem?
A: Kluge B: Blerf
C: Chomple D: Greezo
With 20 seconds left, Lorinda decides to Phone A Friend.
Lorinda's PAF team are her husband Kevin, Bronx, NY; her friend Lynn Marie, Woodside, N; and her friend Albert, New York, NY. Lorinda calls Albert. When Meredith tells him that Lorinda is going for $25,000, he asks, "How much of that do I get?" Meredith tells them to negotiate that separately.
Lorinda reads the question and answers twice, leaving seven seconds on the clock.
Albert: Say them again.
Lorinda: Kluge, Blerf, Chomple, Greezo. Three seconds!
Albert: No idea.
Lorinda: Okay. That's okay.
Albert: Bye.
Lorinda has no idea and she is happy to walk with $16, 000.

It's not just engineers who use that term - computer programmers do also.
So I'd be going for $50K with PAF, ATE and DD remaining.
