7K: know its not Easy Rider. Only one I've seen (I hated that hippie crap. Never took drugs or wanted to see them glorified. Love "Born to be Wild" though). Doubt its Top Gun. Suspect its Speed, but 50/50.

10K: Its a 26+ mile race. I think. Divided by 2 gives 13. C is closest.

20K: Why on earth did contestant not CTQ. I would.
