If James only missed one question in all five rounds of five questions, he correctly answered 5 * 5 - 1 = 24 questions. Before the bonus, James earned 24 correct answers * 2 points / answer = 48 points. Since missing one question would only disqualify him from receiving a bonus in one round, he would earn a bonus for 5 - 1 = 4 rounds. He should expect a bonus of 4 rounds * 4 points / round = 16 points. Including his bonus, James scored a total of 48 + 16 = 64 points.
The answer: 66
