$30,000: After adding the total from 2016's "The Jungle Book," in which she played the snake Kaa, who did Box Office Mojo name as the top-grossing actress of all time?
A - Angelina Jolie
B - Emma Watson
C - Scarlett Johansson
D - Cameron Diaz

Answer: C (Scarlett Johansson)

I thought Scarlett was in TJB but wasn't certain. I would probably use 50:50 if I still have it.

20,000: I know this from watching House of Cards, so I go with D.

30,000: I remember seeing Scarlett Johansson's name in commercials for the film, so I go with C.

So I'd be facing 50K with all three lifelines intact.
