This allows beginner players more time to answer questions.
3. Choose an answer to the question by pressing the ANSWER key that matches your response. • If you are correct, you will hear a congratulatory response and will earn 10 points. • If you are incorrect, you will hear a different response.

International Date Line - The International Date Line is an imaginary line that for the most part follows the 180th meridian (180° longitude). As this meridian is crossed, the calendar day changes.

If you travel east from China on a Monday, once you cross the International Date Line the day changes to Sunday.
