$1k: I should know this, but I don't. ATA.

$5k: +1. I'm not too much into pop culture.

$7k: No problems here. You're supposed to have WAY more than 2.4 grams of Fiber and Protein a day, and last time I checked Chipotle doesn't put orange slices in their burritos.

500: easy

1,000: MIT is the only univeristy of the four in Massachusetts, so I go with C.

2,000: easy

3,000: surprisngly difficult for a low-value question, but I do remember hearing somewhere that Smith was the most popular surname in the U.K.

5,000: Kay Corleone is a character in The Godfather, and Al Pacino is the only one of those four actors who was in it, so I go with B.

7,000: I haven't eaten at Chipotle in several years, and I don't know the general recommended portions for each of these, so I use my +1.

Assuming I get it right, I'd be facing 10,000 with two lifelines left.

5K: I have hard time being certain it was Pacino & not De Niro at home, so would on show; 50/50 is rigged to leave those 2, so ATA
