| Teddylot: . . . Since the new rule isn't going as going as well as expected, it is, erm, officially scratched from the itinerary. Announcer: *screams from the outside* Dino: Rawr! *stomp stomp stomp* Screen of Points: Jagori -- 9 Points NSNick -- 8 Points Kefka -- 6 Points LostAuzzie -- 3 Points Kirby ATW -- 2 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Felix -- 1 Point neotransotaku -- 1 Point wolfman2000 -- 1 Point Emptyeye -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Jarukoth -- 0 Points Edsgravy0 -- 0 Points Xkeeper -- 0 Points ETG -- 0 Points Teddylot: As you can see, NSNick got the point he was looking for, thus, bringing him in one point of the leader and extending the gap between him and the now absent Kefka-- Announcer: GWAAH! Teddylot: Who was chased away by the glorious and all powerful Announcer! Question 34: If a doctor gives you three pills and tells you to take one every half hour, how long will they last? Teddylot: Are the guys in the control panel dead or something? These are getting way too simple. Dino: Rawr! |

| One hour. Didn't we have this one already? The guys in the control panel must really be slacking... Edit: Yup, Question #12. (edited by NSNick on 06-03-04 04:19 PM) |

| It depends on a number of things, namely how you define "lasting" and at what point you start and end counting.. I believe the "classical" answer is 60 minutes, however. You take a pill. You have two left. 30 minutes later, take a second pill, you have one left. 30 mnutes after that--total of 60 minutes--take the final pill. No more pills. I hope that's the answer you want. |

Teddylot: . . .  Note: Due to their inefficiency, the beloved (yet unknown) control panel dudes have been, sadly, let go by the writer of this even-more-beloved game show. Some onlookers say that this is really a ploy to get more ratings. This is not true.  )Teddylot: Yeah, no points will be counted for this last round. Sorry Nick, you'll have to regain the lead some other time. Announcer: *bursts in* I BEAT THE DINOSAUR! Teddylot: Oh, and stay tuned for an amazing revelation about the extreme fight between the Announcer and the Dino! Screen of Points: Jagori -- 9 Points NSNick -- 8 Points Kefka -- 6 Points LostAuzzie -- 3 Points Kirby ATW -- 2 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Felix -- 1 Point neotransotaku -- 1 Point wolfman2000 -- 1 Point Emptyeye -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Jarukoth -- 0 Points Edsgravy0 -- 0 Points Xkeeper -- 0 Points ETG -- 0 Points [/commercial] Teddylot: Yes, now for the moment of truth. In reality, the fight between the Announcer and the Dino was all set up by our wonderful Artificially Intelligent computer prop crew and the unwitting writer. Let's see some of the reactions of those involved. Announcer: What?! This wasn't real? Oh, *smacks himself* dur, this isn't reality TV. Computer: Yeah, we just used a bunch of string, some random sound effects, and a Barney plush toy. Some Other Computer: Yeah, that stupid voice guy just repeatedly got in our efficient ways. He didn't play along or anything. I think he might have thought it was real. Random Bystander: I saw the whole thing. That Announcer guy would've lost if the dinosaur didn't pull away. I want to see a rematch. Writer: I swear, this was all impromptu, random blah! Teddylot: There you have it folks. Announcer: *dumbfounded* Question 34: How could you give someone $63 using six bills, without using one dollar bills? Teddylot: See? Those computers are much better than our old control panel. By the way, the burial of their jobs will be next monday. Be there or be square. (edited by Teddylot on 06-03-04 05:41 PM) |

| You'd give them one $50 bill, one $5 bill, and four $2 bills. | |||

| Teddylot: And NSNick regains his long awaited lead. Announcer: Yeah, sorry Empty, you'd have to look a bit into the US's past to get that one. Screen of Points: Jagori -- 9 Points NSNick -- Points Kefka -- 6 Points LostAuzzie -- 3 Points Kirby ATW -- 2 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Felix -- 1 Point neotransotaku -- 1 Point wolfman2000 -- 1 Point Emptyeye -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Jarukoth -- 0 Points Edsgravy0 -- 0 Points Xkeeper -- 0 Points ETG -- 0 Points Teddylot: Hmm, I bet this'll throw some people off. Just expect the unexpected on this one, 'kay? Question 35: Jack Axe found a stick that weighed exactly two pounds. If Jack cut the stick into eight equal pieces, how much would each piece weigh? Announcer: In this one, don't forget to state the reason for your answer. |

| I'm going to not say the obvious answer and guess 3 ounces each. 4 * 8 = 32, which is 2 pounds, but some of the stick will naturally be turned to sawdust as Jake cuts it. Oh, something about myself: I play a six-string bass, which invariably serves to make me look better than I am when I play.  |

| If the sticks are equal in size but not in weight (the weight could be unevenly distributed), they would all weigh different amounts! | |||

| Announcer: Well, Emptyeye has the right idea going. Teddylot: But the real question is, can you lose an entire ounce due to the loss of sawdust? . . . You know, this makes me think of a Venetian Merchant. Announcer: . . . You know what . . . if any of you saps can actually decifer what that stupid bear is saying, I'll give you an extra bonus point.Teddylot: So I hope most of you are literate. |

| ||
| Well, I don't know what the bear's talking about, but I'll guess the losing weight to sawdust part is right, just not a whole ounce. So each stick would weigh some immeasureable (or just really, really small) amount under 4 oz. | |||

| Teddylot: NSNick has the right answer. Good work goes to Emptyeye for his keen thought. Announcer: You know, I think I know what the bear was talking about. It was some sort of a story written by a famous dead guy. If you can give me the title of the story and its author, you'll recieve one bonus point. If you pinpoint an exact part in the story that has to do with the last question, you get FIVE bonus points. But, you do have to know your literature. Screen of Points: NSNick -- 10 Points Jagori -- 9 Points Kefka -- 6 Points Dead, sorta. LostAuzzie -- 3 Points Kirby ATW -- 2 Points Geeogree -- 1 Point Ultimanium -- 1 Point Felix -- 1 Point neotransotaku -- 1 Point wolfman2000 -- 1 Point Emptyeye -- 1 Point Screen of Shame: Jarukoth -- 0 Points Edsgravy0 -- 0 Points Xkeeper -- 0 Points ETG -- 0 Points Teddylot: Alrighty, now for the main question. Question 36: Before Mount Everest was discovered, what was the highest mountain on earth? Teddylot: Looks like you need to know your stuff. |

| Mount Everest, of course. We just didn't know it existed. Edit: And is Venetian Merchant referring to Merchant of Venice by Shakespeare? If so, I don't know what it had to do with the question. (edited by NSNick on 06-04-04 05:30 PM) (edited by NSNick on 06-04-04 05:30 PM) |

| Teddylot: And the prestigious NSNick has yet another two points. Announcer: Those FIVE bonus points are still up for grabs though. Screen of Points: NSNick -- 12 Points Jagori -- 9 Points Kefka -- 6 Points Dead, sorta.

We forgot to remove Jagori's Leadership Color. Oh well, fixed now. Question 37: Often talked of, never seen, Ever Coming, never been, Daily looked for, never here, Still approaching, coming near. Thousands for its visit wait But alas for their fate, Tho' they expect me to appear, They will never find me here. What is the poem about? Announcer: Thank GOODNESS I'm superficial! Teddylot: They spell "Tho'" funny. |

| Teddylot: And the leader widens the gap to an overwhelming . . . four. Announcer: Not bad. I think he'll have to widen it a bit more if he wants to steer clear of the soon-to-return, music man Jagori. Screen of Points: NSNick -- 13 Points Unlucky, ooooo! . . . ACK! A black cat!

Stop messing with the screens. Teddylot: *with electrical wires in hand and laptop in lap* What?! Question 38: If it takes six men six days to dig six holes, how long will it take one man to dig half a hole? Teddylot: Don't walk under ladders!!! Announcer: STOP IT! |
