An elderly woman and a rich man were seated next to each other on a flight from San Francisco to Denver. The man asked if she would enjoy playing a fun game. "I'll ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you'll have to pay me $5, and vice versa." She declined and tried to get some sleep. Annoyed, the man said, "OK. If you get the question wrong, you only owe me five bucks. But if I get the question wrong, I owe you $500." This was too good to pass up, so she agreed. The lawyer asked the first question. "What is the circumference of the earth?" The woman had no idea, so she paid him $5. Then the woman asked the man, "What wears makeup and walks on three legs?" The man had no idea. He took out his laptop and searched high and low for the answer…but he didn't have any luck. After searching for nearly an hour, he gave the woman $500. The woman said "thanks" and tried to sleep. The lawyer was clearly upset and asked the woman what the answer was. Without saying a word, the woman smiled and gave the lawyer a five-dollar bill.
Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the passage?

Since the woman gave the man $5 at the end of the story, we can guess that she didn't know the answer to her own question.
The woman and man had met each other previously is incorrect. There is nothing in the passage to suggest that the man and the woman knew each other prior to the flight. We can assume that they met as strangers. 
The man did not really want to play the game with the woman is incorrect. The man obviously wanted to play the game with the woman or he wouldn't have offered her $500 if he couldn't get the right answer. 
The man cheated when he tried to use his laptop to find the answer is incorrect. It's true that the man used his laptop to try to find the answer to the woman's question. But this was not mentioned or implied as being against the rules.
