Members will then work together to answer two Team Challenge Questions. After intermission, the teams answer a second round of Jeopardy style buzzer questions. During the buzzer rounds, the first player to buzz in has the opportunity to answer the question. A correct answer results in a chance for the team to answer the bonus question.
