Perfection! Gabriele solves THE FASTEST LAND ANIMAL. The money's piling up fast, and she'll add 200 more if she answers the clue!
She doesn't know, so she says emu instead of the correct answer of cheetah.
Quickly to the next set of prizes, and Gabriele has only a few seconds to decide from 1 year of Video Ezy rentals, a business software collection, or an Aironic air conditioner.
Gabriele quickly takes the air conditioner.
