Okay, Denaya had a rocky start and may not have noticed that this was a level 1 question. And she probably never heard of San Gimignano. But is Manhattan known for its windmills, drawbridges or sandy beaches? What might stone towers be a medieval equivalent for in Manhattan, I wonder?

Denaya leaves with "Total Winnings of $1,000.

"Winnings" that were a whopping four times the current walk-away of her bank.

Just from envisioning what the animals look like she should have been able to get this one.

Ouch! That was hard to watch. And by missing the question she ended up with 4x what she would have had if she'd walked. Somehow that just doesn't seem right.
