[as the "Trivia Bound" games begin, a large pink worm (wearing glasses) asks the player the question "Which U.S. President is the most well spoken?"]
[cut to the worm sitting on a catalog card ("Public Library, No. 4781") as the player types in their first answer, "Bill Clinton"]
[the player types in their second answer ("John F Kennedy") as the camera zooms out to reveal the search results for that term on the Bing home page ("1-10 of 2,440,000 results for 'well spoken President John F Kennedy'")]
[the camera zooms back in on Dewey D and his catalog card, as the player types in two more answers ("Barack Obama" and "Gerald R Ford") before time runs out]

From wikipedia.org:

Club Bing (previously Live Search Club) was a group of online word games by Microsoft that lasted from April 2007 to May 2012. Players who completed or partially completed a game earned "tickets" (originally up to 1000 per day, then later reduced to 500) that may be exchanged for Microsoft or other products. The site was credited with a significant increase in market share for the search engine Bing.
