Amy stated that she did not know any manicurist, but had friends who she believed could somehow know the answer. She then decided to call Bart, a fellow programmer with some medical knowledge, who was 60% sure it was Velum and said it was not a guess. Still unsure, she then decided to use her 50:50, eliminating A and B. After Regis joked about the "big computer programmer who was 60% sure", he told Amy to think of what each term probably meant. After realizing that "Lunula" was most likely related to "Moon", she decided to go with it, and won $32,000.
