The team member who guesses correctly runs to the central location where someone is waiting with the second answer to be guessed. this goes on for five answers. When all answers are guessed, the team must come up with the common theme that chains the answers togethers. When they get this correct, they win the round. 2005 is a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar and is the current year. ...
