Very good! (Applause as end of round cue plays) With that sound, we have reached the end of Round Two. As we go into the Final Challenge, the scores are Michael in the lead at $11,700, Marc in second with $10,300, and Clement behind with $600. It is likely to be a battle between Marc and Michael, but Clement, you're not out of it yet. That said, you may want to try to win as much as possible. Gentlemen, let's play the Final Challenge. The subject is...(CLANGA-CLANGA-CLANGA!)
TIME FOR TRIVIA
In a moment, you will see three categories: one worth even money, one worth double, and one worth triple. The higher the odds, the harder the question. You will have 24 hours to lock in a wager and a category choice. The highest wager in a category gets the first attempt at the question, but if that player is wrong, the second and third highest bidders will each get a chance at the question. Remember, everyone will keep the money he has at the end of the Final Challenge, so wager carefully. The minimum bet is $5, and you must wager in $5 increments. Here are the available questions...(BONG-BONG-BONG!)
TIME MACHINES for EVEN
TIME MAGAZINE for DOUBLE
TIME ZONES for TRIPLE
You know the rules, you know the categories; gentlemen, the Challenge...is yours.
(Final Challenge think music plays)
We'll be back to wrap up this game right after this! (Main theme)

(Main theme as video wall displays an ad for this...)
Don Morrow: All contestants' winnings will be deposited into a Capital One credit or debit account, with award-winning service and benefits. You may choose from the Venture Rewards card, which offers double miles on every purchase; the Quicksilver Rewards card, with a 1.5% cash back award on every purchase, every day; or a Capital One 360 checking account, with no fees on ATM access or check-writing, no minimum balances, and interest on all accounts. All from Capital One - What's In Your Wallet? And now, here's Jonathan with the Final Challenge! (Applause)
Me: Thanks, Don! Gentlemen, it's time to resolve this game. You've all locked in a wager on one of the three categories you just saw on TIME FOR TRIVIA. Now, we'll reveal those wagers. Clement, you're in third place with $600 - how much did you risk, and on which category?
Clement: I wagered $600 on TIME ZONES.
Me: You went all-in. Let's see how it holds up. Marc, you're in second with $10,300. Your wager?
Marc: I bet $10,300 on TIME ZONES. (Audience whistles and yells WHOA!)
Me: Betting aggressively, I see? Michael, on the last show, you went all-in on a triple and won. Did you do the same?
Michael: I did. $11,700 on TIME ZONES. (Audience gasps again)
Me: Wow! Very well. Here's how it will work. Michael, you'll get this question first, since you're the highest bidder. Get it right, and you will be champion for the second time. Get it wrong, and Marc will get a chance at the question. If Marc is wrong, Clement will get a chance. It all comes down to your knowledge of TIME ZONES. Michael...
In the United States, the boundary between the Eastern Time Zone and the Central Time Zone causes 5 different states to lie in both zones. For $46,800 or nothing at all...name any 3 of these states.

Michael....
YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN! CONGRATULATIONS! (End bars of theme play as audience applauds)
For the record, the other two states were Michigan and Tennessee. Michael, you finish today with $46,800. When we combine that with your last winnings, you have $82,800! Marc, you leave us with $10,300, and Clement, great try, you leave us with $600. Michael, if you win our next game, you will be eligible for our $100,000 Ultimate Challenge! Can he do it? We'll find out on...
THE CHALLENGERS!
Until then, this is Jonathan Darrall...so long for now.
