50K: sardines served w/ bones in, which are made of calcium. I'd guess carrots have lowest calcium, but use 50/50 to narrow down.

It was really sad that contestant didn't just leave at this point.

Pope.

Spoiler

A. Pope

The verbal deliberations were really interesting on this question. First, Jeanel said she could eliminate A from consideration, because there wasn't a Pope in office for only 13 days. After she called on Sean to help, his advice ran the gamut from good to terrible to excellent. He was correctly able to eliminate Secretary General, both because the office hasn't existed that long and because it's term-limited. Then he said he was leaning toward Pope as the the answer because that was a better-documented office than King of England, for example. The Kings of England haven't been well-documented??? But then he was able to recall that there had been a Pope in office only 13 days, and he was even able to (tentatively) supply the right name: John Paul I.

Agreed. Urban VII was the 13-and-done. And the longest reigning pope was none other than the original, St. Peter.
