| Teddylot: Oop! Sorry, we forgot to include the visual on the screen. We must have had a problem in our visual department. Anyway, the drain outlets were at the same level near the bottom of the tanks. Announcer: And Jagori got the question right, sooooo . . . Points: Jagori -- 3 Points NSNick -- 2 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point LostAuzzie -- 1 Point Kirby ATW -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Kefka -- 0 Points Jarukoth -- 0 Points Announcer: Awesome! We have a new leader, the Music Man, who now has two questions right in a row. Teddylot: Rollin'! Question 10: Justin Time was on a grueling trip from his hometown of Neutron to the town of Proton. Justin and his bicycle were able to hitch a ride to the town of Electron, which was exactly halfway to Proton. The ride lasted one hour, and was ten times faster than if Justin had cycled the same distance. When Justin got out of the car at Electron he noticed his tire was flat, which meant walking the rest of the way to Proton. Walking took him twice as long as cycling. When Justin finally reached Proton, he repaired his bicycle tire and rode the entire distance home to Neutron. How much time did each trip take and which of the two was faster? Teddylot: Boy, what creative names. |

| It took him 21 hours to go there, and 20 hours to return. Cycling the whole way was faster. Neutron --> Electron = 1 hour Electron --> Proton = 20 hours Proton --> Neutron = 20 hours |

| Teddylot: Looks like nobody wanted to contest NSNick's answer. Announcer: And they were right to do so because he's right. Points: Jagori -- 3 Points NSNick -- 3 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point LostAuzzie -- 1 Point Kirby ATW -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Kefka -- 0 Points Jarukoth -- 0 Points Teddylot: Woah, this sure is a fierce competition between NSNick and Jagori. Annoncer: And we're only at the beginning of the game. Teddylot: Spiffed! [/commercial] Teddylot: Welcome back, if you're just joining us. There have, thus far, been a couple of one time wonders and others who are just sucking it up. Announcer: But the real competition is, so far, between the brain powers, Jagori and NSNick. Teddylot: I wonder if any of them will run out of steam like the other participants. Question 11: Which is correct to say, 'The yolk of the egg are white' or, 'The yolk of the egg is white'? Teddylot: Hmm, seems a bit tricky. Well, push those buttons because I want some answers rollin' on in. |

| *buzzes in* Well, dear Mr. Teddylot, here's my chance to lose my shameful status. Neither is correct, because yolk is yellow. So the correct way would be to say "The yolk of the egg is yellow" (edited by Kefka on 05-18-04 11:16 AM) (edited by Kefka on 05-18-04 11:17 AM) |

| EDIT: Sorry, I might as well play along. Felix: Hey folks. I'm new to this game. I live in Canada, so you probably don't want to hear about my personal life. As for the question, I'd say one hour. You'd take one right away, then another in a half hour, and another half an hour after that one. Took me a few seconds to pick up on what you were getting at, there. Almost had me saying one and a half... (edited by Felix on 05-18-04 09:23 PM) (edited by Felix on 05-18-04 09:23 PM) |

| Teddylot: Hmm, newcomer. *welcoming noogie* AND he's from Canada. I can't say if that's a good thing, but their education system must be pretty good because you got it right.

It's like everybody wants in. Teddylot: Now, all we need are some more guys to "play along", and Acmlm to join the party. Question 13: What would happen if an irresistable force (i.e. a cannonball that cannot be stopped by anything) met an immovable object (i.e. a wall that cannot be moved by anything)? Teddylot: Hmm, seems easy, but who knows, it is the infamous number! |

*buzzes in* I would like to think this is not a trick question... so, I'ma go with the logical answer: It would blow through the object... say a bigass cannon ball hit a brick wall; it would blow right through it. Now, this is probably a trick question, and I just got it wrong, huh?  |

| Can't happen. If one exists, the other one can't exist. There's no way to get around that with words - if something can't be stopped by anything, then there's no object that can stop everything, and vice versa. (edited by Jagori on 05-19-04 12:05 AM) |

| i'm going to try...and am probably wrong too... the force will propagate through the object and continue on its way while the immovable object will stay where it was... |

The force may not be able to be stopped by anything, but it could have its direction changed, i.e. bouncing off the immovable object, like so:

| Teddylot: Jagori got it right. Announcer: Nothing at all would happen because the situation is impossible. the terms irresistable force and immovable object cannot coexist. If a force is irresistable, there cannot be an object that is immovable and vice versa. Teddylot: It's as absurd a situation as two people each being taller than the other. Points: Jagori -- 4 Points NSNick -- 3 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point LostAuzzie -- 1 Point Kirby ATW -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Kefka -- 1 Point Felix -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Jarukoth -- 0 Points neotransotaku -- 0 Points Teddylot: Ouch, as one person takes the lead, another one bites the dust. Question 14: Professor Quantum was working up north on the effects of the "greenhouse effect." He reported his findings through a shortwave radio. In one report, Quantum noted that the temperature was minus fourty degrees. The radioman asked, "Is that Celcius or Farenheit?" The professor replied, "I don't care how you report it." Why would the professor be so cavalier about the situation? |

Well, I would like to take a moment to point out that if it was -40 C/F, then he'd be dead. Anyway, I have no clue, but the reason I'll guess is because the temperature would stay the same anyway?  I have no clue, really. Professor Quantum sure does a lot of studies now, doesn't he?(edited by Kefka on 05-19-04 01:22 PM) |

| *buzzes in* I'm Wolfman, hailing from North Carolina. My pasttime is playing Dance Dance Revolution. -40 C and -40 F are actually the same. C to F: -40 * (9/5) + 32 = -40 [edit]Kefka, I only posted the same/similar thing because I came with the proof.[/edit] (edited by wolfman2000 on 05-19-04 01:07 PM) |

Well, damn you. I was right though. on my guess.  The temp would be the same... I think we should both get pointage.  The edit mind you on that other post was changing -40 C to -40 C/F (edited by Kefka on 05-19-04 01:23 PM) |

| Teddylot: Well, I'm going to give this one to Kefka, since he did guess it right first. But, luckily for you, you won't be finding yourself under the "Screen of Shame."

| *Buzzes In* No Intro... because I'm shy Either you stand behind your father while he's looking at a family photo (And in that photo, he's standing behind you) Or if you take "Stand behind" to mean "Support" (As in, "I'm behind you 100%) and you support each other. |

| just because you are standing behind your father, doesn't mean you have to be facing him... so, that is how you can stand behind your father and your father be standing behind you the situation is below <-- A B--> arrows indicate the way A and B are looking |

| Announcer: That's correct, neotransotaku! The answer is: back to back.

[/commercial] Teddylot: Welcome back, friends. Since our last commercial, not much has progressed. Jagori has taken the lead, but not by much, and many more hopefuls have joined the escapade. Announcer: Now, back to the game. Question 16: Clara Clatter was born on December 27th, yet her birthday is always in the summer. How can this be? Teddylot: *rings question bell* Come and get 'em! Come and get the freebie! |
