I think the show is messing with our minds. They showed James standing there looking puzzled and concerned and then Megan looking the same and suddenly starting to write something, but too late. It made me think James was stumped by FJ. Instead, James had written down the correct answer before the camera was on him. Of course, it wouldn't have made any difference in the outcome, since it was a runaway, but it would show a crack in James' armor.
