Ann decides to ATE with 8 seconds left. Will Shortz (editor of the NY Times Crossword Puzzle) says that "$5 bills are not that common....I just had a $5 bill last night, too. Ann, I just don't know."
Ann then chooses to PAF (6 sec). Standing by are: Ann's husband, David (Southbury, CT); her father-in-law, Robert (Cheshire, CT); and her friend, Cindy (Sandy Hook, CT). Ann chooses to call her husband, David. Ann asks if he has a $5 handy, since she needs to know what the easy-to-read number is on it, and lists the answers. David immediately says the right answer, which Ann goes with.
