$50,000: Among countries with over 50 million Muslims, whose citizens have the farthest distance to travel for their pilgrimage to Mecca?
A - Nigeria
B - Bangladesh
C - Pakistan

Harriet recently learned that Indonesia has the most Muslims of any nation in the world. She thinks Mecca is in Saudi Arabia and asks if she's crazy to think that. She's afraid she'll hate herself either way, but goes for it.
Spoiler
Answer: D (Indonesia)

Harriet wins $100,000.

No answer is recorded for the $50,000 question. --Bob

$30,000 - Bad question with two correct answers.

"Well do ya, punk?" was said, Harry never fired the gun in that scene after saying it. He pulled the trigger after the perp said "I gots to know!" and "click", the gun was empty.

Am I remembering that correctly?

Why is the $100K question a free guess? Is there some sort of Mulligan now?

Because $50,000 is a safety level so even if you go for the $100,000 question and miss, you don't lose any money. --Bob

That's what I was thinking, but then I read her answer wrong and thought she missed it and still got to move on.

President Marshall (Harrison Ford) says this as he's kicking Gary Oldman in the face, IIRC.
