These contestants kick off the celebration:
Rick Courdimanche: Retired from a "big blue computer company", and is involved in Southern New Hampshire university's board of trustees; from Stamford, CT
Amanda Burford: Airline pilot (albeit furloughed) who started flying at age 18, and she used to be a flight instructor; from San Francisco, CA

Our Mystery Round is about breaking all the rules! Do you flip that wedge or not? You risk finding a BANKRUPT, but that risk might pay off for a 2003 Ford Focus worth $14,090!
Go!
Rick solves THREE-RING BINDER.
That covers a bit of the money from that third round, and he starts our next one!

She says PLAYING A HUNCH, and after a few seconds, Pat says she's right. What was Pat thinking about?
We know now that he'll be thinking about giving Amanda the $25,000! She's leaving with a total of $38,350 in cash!
In the post-game chat, Pat points out that Harry Friedman's wife Judy and Pat's wife Lesly have in common? They both have their birthday today!
By the way, I had this saved up to the Speed-Up for a while. I didn't take under 20 minutes for this.
