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

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.

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.
