Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. At the beginning of the episode, we see a man on a bridge who has placed explosives along the bridge itself, preparing for it to collapse,.

What does the man mean when he asks "how many questions can [Charlie] afford to get wrong"?

Answer: Before the bridge collapses
