$25K: NAFC® on this one. Time to ATA. Use PAF too if their answer is not definitive.

No idea either, and I don't think the audience will know, so it's time for a lifeline. Using the 50/50 won't help, so it's PAF time. (NOTE: As it turns out, the 50/50 would have been very useful.)BBTranscriptTeam wrote:$25,000

No clue for me, either. They should have saved this question for NetFlix Movie Week, next week.earendel wrote:No idea either, and I don't think the audience will know, so it's time for a lifeline.

Looks like what seemed an unfortunate use of a lifeline at 1K last episode could have proved important after all.
Perhaps ATA could have been used at 16K instead of the PAF and that would have left the PAF for the 25K.
Coulda, woulda, shoulda.
