They capitalized NOT twice, but the question's so easy you'd get it right even if you overlooked the NOTs.

I know this because that was the name of my dog. Jessica sounds kind of Jewish, but it isn't a Biblical or ancient girl's name.

10K: Reasoning on this makes me sick. I'd probably call +1.

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: easy

3,000: D is a manatee-like sea mammal.

5,000: easy

7,000: I read Macbeth in high school, so I can eliminate C. +1 here, and hope we get it right.

10,000: I've heard the common date for the earliest birthdates of Millennials is in the early 1980s, which would've been about 19 years prior to 1999. Round it down to C, and I'm good to go.

So I'd be facing 20,000 with two lifelines intact.

I have 2 millennial sons, one born in 1984 and the other in 1985, so I knew this answer.

If hadn't started blubbering even at the length of a tv set, I'd have figured it out by the ages of the current batch of Survivors, which has a Millennial team vs a Gen X team. Wow does that make me feel old. Oops, I *am* old.

So far, so good.
