Scoring
All questions are multiple-choice and are worth a maximum of 10 points. Each question is displayed on screen, with five choices and a one-minute timer. Five points are awarded for a correct answer on the first try, with a bonus based on response time. If time expires or an incorrect answer is given, the team is given another minute to respond. Only two points are awarded for correct "second chance" answers.
Bonus points awarded for correct first-try answers are as follows:
| More than | No more than | Bonus points |
|---|---|---|
| 0 seconds | 7 seconds | 5 |
| 7 seconds | 12 seconds | 4 |
| 12 seconds | 17 seconds | 3 |
| 17 seconds | 22 seconds | 2 |
| 22 seconds | 29 seconds | 1 |
| 29 seconds | 60 seconds | 0 |
