15. Each slide is in order, going down the category e.g.: First category on the far left for 1 point is slide number 2 and 3. First category for 2 points is slide number 4 and 5 etc.
16. If you want to include two "daily doubles", just change the color of the question and answer to yellow. We included two daily doubles because we play with two teams and would like each team to have the opportunity to score a daily double. But as you know, it doesn't always work out that way!
