Before we continue to Game 21, you may remember the team from Game 15, which aired on 12/9/99 and 12/10/99 (see links above). This team had the following question: For $100,000: What does ".com" stand for? The player, Susanne, picked Communication, the team captain David rejected that answer and selected Company, and the correct answer was "Commercial." A debate ensued about whether it could be company, and since some organizations use '.com' for company, this team will be back with a new $100,000 question on Friday's show. So we'll pick up Game 15 then! Game 21 : $2,000,000 Jackpot Contestants: Qualifying Question: What is the highest number of points the Dow Jones Industrial Average has risen in one week? Answer: 587.
