Perfection! Heather solves SIDES ON A PENTAGON. On the side, she could take 200 more by answering the clue.
Oops! She says ten instead of five. "Halfway there."
Not even halfway through the game, but we will be giving Heather a prize. Let's look at a Teac splash-proof mini off-road TV, a car care products package, and an Omni cordless phone and screener.
Heather wants the TV.
