ATA on $5,000. Torn between B and C.

50:50 on $20,000. Very nice of them to leave Patsy Cline up there instead of Seal. Even though the 50:50s are predetermined, I've been noticing they've been pretty generous with leaving behind gimmes.

I remembered that the black trigrams are there on the South Korean flag, so I'm going for $50,000 with my Plus One ready.
