FINAL SCORE 29 28½ 61

In this episode, the order of the Grand Finale reveal was responses, then correct answer and upper bound (the lower bound wasn't read because no player was below it; value above is calculated), and then wagers.
Andy stated that in the event of a tie, a list would be used to break it, with a player being eliminated upon giving an incorrect response. This tiebreaker format was not used in this or any subsequent episode prior to Episode 45, when a different tiebreak procedure was introduced during the Grand Finale explanation.

Winner: Harvey Silikovitz
