Melissa solves THE CAPITAL OF CANADA. We don't know if she would take a Proton there even after scoring an extra 200. Can she answer the clue?
She thinks it's Montréal. That might make sense, but it's actually Ottawa.
It still makes sense that we award Melissa a prize for solving this puzzle. Would she like Madame Korner beauty products, a Tasco telescope, or a Korjo travel collection?
She'd like a beauty package.
