Bonus Questions

First introduced to Williams Trivia the previous year, these were the forerunners of the full "Hour Bonus." Like the rest of the contest, they were individual questions-- but due to perceived difficulty and unavailability of hints, teams were permitted one hour in which to answer. Williams B assigned different point values to its Bonus Questions.
