A - Catch-22

B - 12%
C - 27%
D - 44%
Kristie says that everyone who knows the answer will answer it right, and those who don't will spread out among all the answers, so scientifically speaking it should be "D". The one Kristie read was Catch-22 but she didn't want to say that and prejudice the audience. She decides to call her brother Brooke. She paraphrases the question - "A quote from a classic novel, 'Who is John Galt' and spells out 'Galt'. She then asks if it's Native Son or Atlas Shrugged. He immediately replies, "Atlas Shrugged." It turns out that Kristie's scientific analysis was correct, but Kristie says she wasn't sure and Meredith says she was right to use the other lifeline.
THE HORN!!!!!
Kristie will return tomorrow with her 50/50 remaining.
