At 25 seconds, Becky decides to ask the audience. She then decides to phone a friend, her team consist of:

Michael, Sacramento, CA;
Ken, Sacramento, CA;
Bill, Sacramento, CA

Becky decides to call her friend Michael. She reads the questions and answers.

Becky: 15 seconds. Vancouver, Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal.
Michael: Montreal.
(Becky takes a deep breath)
Meredith: Sure?
Becky: Are you sure?
Michael: Pretty sure. On a scale of 1 to 10, 8-- (time runs out)

At 23 seconds, Becky decides to ask the expert.

Lucy: I am not good at Canada!
Becky: Neither am I!
Lucy: Okay. Ummm, let's reason this out, for a second. I've gone skiing near Montreal, so I know it's not that far north, because it's just over the border, near Vermont. And I know people who go from Montreal to Stowe, skiing. So I'm going to say that's pretty far south. Umm, same with with Vancouver, on the west coast. I know people who go skiing at Vancouver and I don't think it's that far north of the border. It's the Canadian Rockies. And people tell me Toronto is not that far north. Not that much further than Portland, Maine. So, I mean, I don't know where Ottawa is, but I guess, because I don't know where it is, it might be pretty far north! Okay? That's my reasoning, so I don't know the answer, but I'm going to guess Ottawa.
Meredith: Does that help?
Becky: Well, I have three different answers from three different sources.

Becky walks away with $16,000 at 8 seconds. The right answer was A.
