| Caption
| - Nancy did not know it and wishes she had been better at history, so she decided to call Angela, a fellow teacher. However, she failed to give an answer within the alloted time. Nancy then decided to guess B: Poland and was correct, winning $16,000. Then, the klaxon called time, and Nancy would return on $16,000 with no lifelines remaining.
