Good that she could reason out the answer. Pascal is indeed less Italian than Galileo; he's French. The transcript doesn't say why she eliminated Leonardo. Maybe she figured Angels and Demons would use someone else than The Da Vinci Code.

If she said anything about Leonardo, it got edited out of the broadcast. I was surprised about that, too.

Good for Márcia for going for it here in her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, with relatively little at risk. That's more than I can say for Rodger, who preceded her.
