The Masters is in Augusta, GA, the Boston Marathon is in (duh) Boston, and the U.S. Open is in New York, so even if I didn't know where the NBA finals were held, process of elimination gets the answer.

"Red-eyed" could be a trap for Snapchat (photos of animals and people with red eyes), but I've been on Reddit and seen the mascot.

"We named the dog Indiana."

[MysteryMan-123]

500: easy

1,000: easy

2,000: easy, I live there

3,000: C makes the most sense in the context

5,000: I know the Masters and the Boston Marathon are both in April, and that the Golden State Warriors were in the NBA Finals this year, so I go with C

7,000: I frequently use Reddit, so this one was easy

10,000: I've seen the movie, and know it's not A. 50/50 here.

Assuming I got the 10K question right, I'd be facing 20K with two lifelines intact.
