Either this game show contestant can read minds or he's the luckiest guy on the planet.
Emil, a contestant on Wheel of Fortune on Wednesday night, shocked host Pat Sajak by solving a nearly impossible bonus round puzzle. The vague "thing" category was no help to, either; he looked at the board with only the letters "N" and "E" to help. Even Sajak doubted Emil's chances, saying, "You're a very good puzzle solver, but I don't know."

But Emil took home $45,000 after guessing the 12-letter phrase on his first try. Sajak was so impressed that he jokingly patted Emil down, searching for a device that could have helped him cheat. Later that night, Sajak tweeted about the incredible win:
Tonight's "Wheel of Fortune" features most amazing solve in my 30+ years on the show. No kidding.— Pat Sajak (@patsajak) March 19, 2014
A "new baby buggy" isn't exactly the first phrase that comes to mind when you ask someone to name a random "thing." Maybe Emil's next move should be buying a lottery ticket.
