Bonus Question
Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Geography question from the first round. The Team is asked to guess the combined elevation in feet of K2, Broad Peak, and Gasherbrum I and II. They have a solid starting point based on their estimation of the height of K2, but will they be close enough to earn a point? Listen in to find out!

The second round starts with a Movies Trivia question about the 2020 film that depicts a fictionalized account of a February 1964 meeting between Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and Sam Cooke.

Final Question
We’ve reached the Final Question of the game, and today’s category of choice is Mascots. And if there’s one thing companies love, it’s an animal mascot.
The Trivia Team is given five pairs of companies and asked to name the animal that each pair uses as its mascot. Can you envision the Premier League mascot? How about the A&W Root Beer mascot? Or maybe Linux is more your speed? If any of these companies ring a bell, you might have some valuable insight into the final answer to steer the Team to victory!
