**[00:01] Yuki**
The first group in Round 3
got very heated, didn't it?
**[00:04] Yuki**
And now, it's time for the
second group to start.
**[00:07] Girl**
Please line up in the order of
your placement on the paper quiz.
**[00:11] Shiki**
*Mikuriya-kun is in front of me...*
**[00:13] Shiki**
What if I can't answer anything?
**[00:16] Shiki**
All these other people ranked
really high on the paper quiz!
**[00:19] Mikuriya**
So what?
**[00:21] Mikuriya**
There are four in front of me, too.
**[00:25] Shiki**
*He's right. I can't get overwhelmed now.*
**[00:29] Shiki**
*I'm finally about to face Mikuriya-kun!*
**[00:35] Chiaki**
The second group will now enter.
**[00:43] Akira**
Hold it!
**[00:47] Akira**
I'm playing, too!
***SIGN*** Question 11: "Q: Why Do You Answer?"
**[02:33] Chiaki**
Akira!
**[02:37] All**
Huh?!
**[02:42] Yuki**
U-Um... Sekigawata Middle School
third-year, Sonohara Akira-kun...
**[02:47] Yuki**
has, for some reason, just come in
wearing an Asagaoka Girls' uniform!
**[02:52] Gakuto**
He's certainly unique.
**[02:54] Inoue**
Senpai, you're actually enjoying
the spectacle, aren't you?
**[02:57] Mari**
Wow, he looks really cute.
**[03:00] Jinko**
This is no time to admire him.
**[03:01] Jinko**
Look at the participants.
**[03:03] Jinko**
They're totally distracted from the game.
**[03:05] Jinko**
This was his plan!
**[03:07] Mikuriya**
Excuse me. Can we start the quiz now?
**[03:10] Yuki**
President Sonohara?
**[03:12] Chiaki**
P-Prepare your boards
**[03:13] Chiaki**
for the multiple answer question
to determine your initial scores!
**[03:16] Chiaki**
The question!
**[03:16] Kujou**
Y-Yes, ma'am!
**[03:17] Chiaki**
Too slow!
***SIGN*** My blood is boiling right now

Name the zang-fu organs.
**[03:24] Shiki**
The zang-fu organs, huh?
***SIGN*** Zang-fu
Organs
**[03:27] Kujou**
The full question is...
**[03:28] Kujou**
In traditional Chinese medicine,
**[03:30] Kujou**
the body and organs are described
in terms of the "zang-fu organs."
**[03:34] Kujou**
State the names of the
eleven zang-fu organs.
**[03:39] Shiki**
* The number of correct answers I get*
* here will be the score I start off with.*
**[03:42] Shiki**
* I need to at least get*
* close to Mikuriya-kun.*
**[03:47] Mari**
Even I know a little about this.
**[03:49] Gakuto**
Yes, most people know the names
of at least some organs.
**[03:54] Gakuto**
But the challenge is knowing
which ones are zang-fu organs.
**[03:57] Gakuto**
It seems like an easy question that gives
everyone a chance to get some points,
**[04:01] Gakuto**
but relying on common knowledge
could backfire on you.
**[04:05] Chiaki**

**[04:17] Shiki**
* I'm starting off in first*
* place alongside Ohkura-san!*
**[04:21] Chiaki**
The correct answers are:
**[04:22] Chiaki**
the liver, the heart, the spleen, the lung,
the kidney, the stomach, the large intestine,
**[04:27] Chiaki**
the small intestine, the gall bladder,
the urinary bladder, and the san jiao.
**[04:32] Inoue**
What's "the san jiao"?
**[04:33] Jinko**
Never heard of it.
**[04:34] Gakuto**
"Of the zang-fu organs, which is the
only one that isn't actually an organ?"
**[04:40] Gakuto**
"The answer is the san jiao."
It's a well-known question.
**[04:43] Chiaki**
It's easy to get the zang-fu organs wrong,
**[04:46] Chiaki**
because there are so many
organs to choose from.
**[04:52] Yuki**
If even one wrong answer is given in the
quiz to determine your initial score,
**[04:55] Yuki**
you get zero points.
***SIGN*** Ashiya | Shibuya | Shibata | Mikuriya | Koizumi | Koshiyama | Sonohara

*Mikuriya-kun got zero points?*
**[05:02] Akira**

**[05:04] Akira**
And you're supposed to be a quiz freak!
**[05:07] Shiki**
Akira-kun...
**[05:09] Shiki**
It's not nice to laugh at
other people's mistakes.
**[05:12] Akira**
What's this, Koshiyama?
**[05:14] Akira**
Feeling confident because
you've got an early lead?
**[05:18] Mikuriya**
Starting with zero points? Fine by me.
**[05:21] Mikuriya**
I'll show all of you.
**[05:23] Chiaki**
We will now start the fastest finger
board quiz from these initial scores.
**[05:29] Kujou**
Question.
**[05:31] Kujou**
The first manned space flight
was completed by Gaga—
**[05:34] Shiki**
*That was fast!*
**[05:35] Yuki**
The person who buzzed was Mikuriya-kun!
**[05:37] Shiki**
* A wrong answer after buzzing*
* means a loss of three points.*
**[05:40] Shiki**
* He could be disqualified!*
* How could he buzz in so soon?*
**[05:44] Yuki**
If you answer correctly after buzzing in,
**[05:46] Yuki**
you can add your points to your own score
**[05:48] Yuki**
or subtract them from another player.
**[05:50] Yuki**
The choice is yours.
**[05:52] Yuki**
What will Mikuriya-kun do?
**[05:54] Yuki**
Now, everyone, show your boards!
***SIGN*** McCandless
***SIGN*** Leonov
**[05:57] Chiaki**
They're all rather divided on the answer.
***SIGN*** Tereshkova
***SIGN*** Akiyama Toyohiro
***SIGN*** Moon
**[05:59] Chiaki**
And Mikuriya-kun, the one
who buzzed in, said...
***SIGN*** Alan Shepard
**[06:03] Yuki**
Alan Shepard.
**[06:04] Yuki**
He was the only player to answer correctly!
**[06:06] Kujou**
The first manned space flight
was completed by Gagarin.
**[06:10] Kujou**
The second was completed by
which American astronaut?
**[06:13] Chiaki**
The correct answer is Alan Shepard.
**[06:16] Shiki**
The emphasis was on "first"?
**[06:19] Mikuriya**
It was barely noticeable.
**[06:21] Mikuriya**
That's the perfect difficulty
level for this round.
**[06:23] Shiki**
And you buzzed in based on that?
**[06:25] Mikuriya**
If someone else beat me to it and subtracted
points from me, I'd be out anyway.
**[06:29] Mikuriya**
And if I'm going to get
knocked out regardless,
**[06:32] Mikuriya**
I'd rather be the one responsible for it.
**[06:35] Chiaki**
Now, Mikuriya-kun,
**[06:37] Chiaki**
please decide how to distribute your four
points, including your extra bonus point.
**[06:41] Mikuriya**
I'll keep them all.
***SIGN*** Mikuriya
**[06:43] Guy**
Dude, that first-year
from Miyaura is amazing.
**[06:46] Guy**
He's already over ten points.
**[06:48] Shiki**
*What am I doing?*
**[06:50] Shiki**
* What made me think for a second that I could*
* beat players who are leagues ahead of me*
**[06:54] Shiki**
*in both knowledge and technique?*
**[06:58] Shiki**
*I have to calm down.*
**[07:01] Shiki**
* Don't force anything, and listen*
* closely to the questions.*
**[07:04] Shiki**
*I have to get some answers right!*
**[07:09] Kujou**
Question.
**[07:14] Chiaki**
O, Romeo, Romeo—
**[07:17] Akira**
That was me!
**[07:21] Shiki**
*What was that?!*
**[07:22] Gakuto**
Well, that scene recreation was a total flop.
**[07:24] Jinko**
Yikes...
**[07:25] Mari**
What was Yukicchi doing?
**[07:27] Chiaki**
I wanted to do more of *Romeo and Juliet*!

**[07:43] Chiaki**

**[07:46] Yuki**
Sonohara-kun, please distribute
your three points.
**[07:49] Akira**
Okay, then...
**[07:51] Akira**
Subtract two points from the squinting guy!
**[07:54] Koizumi**
What?!
**[07:55] Akira**
Ka-boom!
***SIGN*** Ka-boom!
***SIGN*** Koizumi
**[07:56] Yuki**
K-Koizumi kun has a negative
score, which means he's disqualified.
**[08:00] Koizumi**
You demon...
**[08:02] Akira**
Who should I subtract the other point from?
**[08:08] Akira**
I know! Boss Gorilla!
**[08:10] Akira**
You cocky little punk!
**[08:13] Akira**
Well, those are the rules.
**[08:16] Yuki**
President Sonohara!
**[08:19] Akira**
I'll make this game
interesting for all of you.
**[08:22] Yuki**
W-Well, I'll take over from here.
**[08:24] Yuki**
With Sonohara-kun's subtraction of points,
**[08:27] Yuki**
Koizumi-kun is out,
**[08:29] Yuki**
and Ohkura-kun's score is
reduced to fifteen points.
**[08:32] Yuki**
He's no longer one question
away from a possible win.
**[08:34] Guy**
What was Asagaoka thinking when
they made up these rules?
**[08:39] Guy**
I guess siblings do think alike.
**[08:41] Chiaki**
* I only wanted to make things exciting*
* by adding an element of negotiation...*
**[08:47] Ohkura**
Everybody, shut up!
**[08:49] Ohkura**
Rules about subtracting points
aren't that uncommon.
**[08:52] Ohkura**
Players can play however they
want if it's within the rules!
**[08:57] Ohkura**
The only thing that bothers
me is this kid's attitude.
**[09:00] Ohkura**
Who are you calling a gorilla?!
**[09:01] Akira**
Oops. Sorry.
**[09:03] Akira**
I take back the gorilla thing.
**[09:04] Ohkura**
Good.
**[09:06] Ashiya**
And that's okay with you, Ohkura?
**[09:08] Ohkura**
I don't want the regular meet to be
sullied by this kind of quibbling.
**[09:12] Ashiya**
Yeah... I guess you're right.
**[09:14] Niina**
Ohkura's so grown-up.
**[09:17] Niina**
And he's younger than me...
**[09:19] Niina**
I hope I grow up to be that mature.

He said he'd make the game interesting,

**[09:38] Niina**
But he's down to two points.
**[09:40] Niina**
I hope he'll settle down now.

The correct answer is *Utakata no Ki*.
**[09:46] Yuki**
Ohkura-kun and Koshiyama-kun

Yes! That's from Ougai's German trilogy!

Yes... You want to be
disqualified, don't you, kid?
**[10:02] Akira**
Huh?
**[10:03] Shiki**
*If he loses three points, Akira-kun is out.*
**[10:09] Ohkura**
Making that face at me... won't help.
**[10:13] Ohkura**

Shibuya-kun buzzed in!
**[10:37] Hanabusa**
You finally got one, Shibuya!
**[10:40] Shiki**
* If there are four awards, I should've*
* buzzed on the "A" of "Academy," but...*
**[10:46] Gakuto**
This is a curious question.
**[10:48] Jinko**
Why's that, Gakuto?
**[10:50] Mari**
Isn't it just a regular numerated question?
**[10:52] Gakuto**
No, probably not.
**[10:55] Gakuto**
Will Koshiyama notice the difference?
**[10:58] Yuki**
Now, show your boards.
**[11:01] Yuki**
Here's the rest of the question:
**[11:02] Yuki**
What's the term used when
someone who wins an Emmy,
**[11:05] Yuki**
a Grammy, an Academy Award, and a Tony?
**[11:08] Yuki**
The answer is "Showbiz Grand Slam."
**[11:11] Shiki**
I knew it!
***SIGN*** Showbiz Grand Slam
**[11:12] Yuki**
"EGOT" means Emmy, Grammy, Oscar,
and Tony: the four initials.
**[11:18] Yuki**
That's also correct!

Lucky me! I saw that on TV!
**[11:22] Inoue**

But the way she read out "Emmy Award" and
"Grammy Award" made them flow together.
**[11:34] Mari**
So that's why he was slow to buzz in.

**[15:20] Yuki**
Koshiyama-kun, with seventeen points, can
advance if he buzzes and answers correctly here.
**[15:24] Yuki**
Who will buzz in first?
**[15:26] Yuki**
Will we see a comeback
from one of the others?
**[15:29] Kujou**
Question.
**[15:30] Kujou**
Meaning "governing the nation and saving
its people," the word for "economy—
**[15:34] Shibata**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Keisei Saimin
***SIGN*** Keisei Saimin
***SIGN*** Keisei Saimin
**[15:36] Yuki**
"Keisei saimin" is correct!
***SIGN*** Q: Meaning "governing the nation and saving its people," the word for "economy"
in Japanese originated from what four-syllable idiom? A: Keisei saimin
**[15:38] Yuki**
Shibata-kun of Kaijou is making a comeback!
**[15:41] Kujou**
Question.
**[15:42] Kujou**
In the process of scientific experiments,
the escape of harmful organisms—
**[15:47] Yuki**
Mikuriya-kun buzzed in!
***SIGN*** Total
***SIGN*** Multiple Answers
***SIGN*** Ohkura | Ashiya | Shibuya | Shibata | Mikuriya | Koizumi | Koshiyama | Sonohara | Hirosue
**[15:50] Yuki**
The answer is "biohazard." He's correct!
***SIGN*** Q: In the process of scientific experiments, the escape of harmful
organisms that threaten to endanger the local ecosystem is known
by what name? A: Biohazard
**[15:52] Chiaki**
Mikuriya-kun, please
distribute your three points.
**[15:56] Mikuriya**
* If I take enough points off Koshiyama*
* to block him from advancing,*
**[16:00] Mikuriya**
*I'll still only have sixteen points.*
**[16:02] Mikuriya**
* That would be the same as helping*
* Shibata, now that he's catching up.*
**[16:05] Mikuriya**
* I need to get within touching*
* distance of the win first.*
**[16:08] Mikuriya**
* If I'm confident in my speed on the*
* buzzer, seventeen points is all I need.*
**[16:12] Mikuriya**
*But nothing is absolute.*
**[16:13] Mikuriya**
* If it was just me and Koshiyama,*
* that'd be one thing,*
**[16:15] Mikuriya**
*but Shibata and Shibuya are here, too.*
**[16:17] Mikuriya**
* And I've already been too slow*
* to buzz in several times.*
**[16:20] Maruyama**
You don't often see Mikuriya
thinking that hard.
**[16:23] Ashiya**
Distributing his points here
must be a pretty tough call.
**[16:27] Mikuriya**
* There are no correct answers*
* in probability theory.*
**[16:29] Mikuriya**
*So I should...*
**[16:31] Mikuriya**
This is too damn annoying.
**[16:33] Mikuriya**
I'm keeping all three points.
**[16:35] Mari**
That gives Mikuriya-kun nineteen points.
**[16:37] Jinko**
And Shiki-kun still has eighteen points.
**[16:40] Inoue**
If they both get to 20
points at the same time,
**[16:43] Inoue**
the one with the higher
total score advances, right?
**[16:46] Shiki**
* Even if Mikuriya-kun only gets*
* one point for a correct answer,*
**[16:49] Shiki**
* if I buzz in and answer correctly for*
* three points, I'll take the lead.*
**[16:55] Mikuriya**
Koshiyama.
**[16:57] Mikuriya**
The next question will decide it.
**[16:59] Shiki**
Yeah!
**[17:00] Yuki**
For better or for worse, only
one more player can advance!
**[17:04] Yuki**
The next question, please!
**[17:06] Shiki**
*If I don't buzz this time, I could lose.*
**[17:08] Shiki**
*I have to be careful... but fast!*
**[17:13] Kujou**
Question.
**[17:14] Kujou**
April 5, 1722; January 22, 1905;
**[17:20] Kujou**
and May 15, 1932...
**[17:23] Shiki**
*Three dates?*
**[17:24] Mikuriya**
*They have something historical in common!*
**[17:26] Shibata**
* Economic booms, crashes...*
* Something economical?*
**[17:28] Shibuya**
*Celestial events... Annular solar eclipses?*
**[17:31] Shiki**
*What's next?*
**[17:32] Kujou**
All of these were, specifically, what da—
**[17:38] Shiki**
*No!*
**[17:39] Mikuriya**
*That little...*
**[17:43] Akira**
Specifically...
**[17:46] Niina**
Not again!
**[17:48] Gakuto**
No, it looked intentional that time.
**[17:52] Gakuto**
Specifically, it was... the fourteenth
question in the first group, I believe?
**[17:56] Mari**
Oh!
**[17:57] (Flashback) Kujou**
Continents of the world:
The "cradle of humankind"...
**[18:00] Gakuto**
"Specifically," as the word suggests,
**[18:03] Gakuto**
is a signal that what comes next
is the core of the question.
**[18:05] Gakuto**
It's often used in probability questions,
like the one about the continents.
**[18:10] Jinko**
The question just now was "All of these
were what day of the week," right?
**[18:14] Inoue**
Which means it also has
seven possible answers!
**[18:17] Gakuto**
Sonohara's brother predicted that
the inclusion of "specifically"
**[18:21] Gakuto**
meant that, however difficult,
it would be a probability question
**[18:24] Gakuto**
with possible answers that
everyone is familiar with.
**[18:27] Chiaki**
* Everyone has a one-in-seven*
* chance to answer correctly,*
**[18:29] Chiaki**
*even if they don't know the answer.*
**[18:31] Chiaki**
*In a way, it's a free question.*
**[18:33] Chiaki**
*He plans to rely on intuition, doesn't he?*
**[18:36] Niina**
*A one-in-seven possibility...*
**[18:38] Niina**
* It's hard to believe he'd bet*
* everything on that, but...*
**[18:44] Shiki**
*April 5th, January 22nd...*
**[18:47] Shiki**
* The one that's most familiar*
* as a date is May 15th.*
**[18:50] Both**
* Showa 7! That has to be it.*
* The May 15th Incident!*
**[18:54] Mikuriya**
* Is there a hint within the incident*
* as to what day it took place?*
**[18:57] Mikuriya**
* No, even if I know what the incident*
* was, I don't know that kind of detail!*
**[19:04] Mikuriya**
* Thinking too long about something*
* I don't know is just a waste of time!*
**[19:07] Mikuriya**
*So I'll use math to solve it!*
**[19:10] Mukai**
Mikuriya's writing something.
**[19:13] Ashiya**
*Zeller's congruence, huh?*
**[19:15] Ashiya**
*And what will Koshiyama-kun do?*
**[19:18] Ashiya**
*He seems to be good with history.*
**[19:19] Ashiya**
*Can he get it right?*
**[19:21] Yuki**
Ten seconds.
**[19:23] Shiki**
*Oh, no!*
**[19:24] Shiki**
*Stop! Calm down! Remember!*
**[19:27] Shiki**
*No...*
**[19:28] Shiki**
*Think!*
**[19:30] Inoue**
Come on, Koshiyama, what are you doing?!
**[19:32] Jinko**
Time's runnin' out!
**[19:33] Mari**
Koshiyama-kun...
**[19:38] Shiki**
* I know about the May 15th*
* Incident. I read about it.*
**[19:42] Shiki**
* It was one of the many books*
* I read during my time spent alone.*
**[19:45] Shiki**
* I'm sure the answer is buried*
* in my memory somewhere.*
**[19:49] Shiki**
*I have to open up to that page!*
**[19:55] Shiki**
*On May 15th, Showa year 7, at about 5:30 PM,*
**[19:58] Shiki**
* several young naval officers*
* split up into four groups*
**[20:00] Shiki**
* with the goal of overthrowing the*
* corrupt political party system.*
**[20:02] Shiki**
* One of those groups infiltrated the*
* residence of Prime Minister Inukai Tsuyoshi.*
**[20:07] Shiki**
* Even surrounded by naval*
* officers in uniform,*
**[20:09] Shiki**
*Prime Minister Inukai didn't panic,*
**[20:12] Shiki**
* but calmly attempted to reason*
* with them until his final moments.*
**[20:15] Shiki**
* But he couldn't stop history's*
* trigger from being pulled.*
**[20:20] Shiki**
* Wait, that doesn't tell me*
* what day of the week it was!*
**[20:23] Shiki**
*What else is there?*
**[20:25] Shiki**
* After hearing the news,*
* the Prime Minister's wife*
**[20:27] Shiki**
* rushed to his residence with the*
* Minister for Foreign Affairs.*
**[20:30] Shiki**
* Oh, right... His wife escaped*
* disaster because she'd been away.*
**[20:34] Shiki**
*Away?*
**[20:36] Shiki**
* Where were his wife and*
* son-in-law, Minister Yoshizawa?*
***SIGN*** ...were at the Imperial Hotel to celebrate...
**[20:41] Shiki**
* Wow... The Imperial Hotel*
* was around back then, too?*
**[20:50] Shiki**
* I'm out of time! I'm still*
* not certain, but...*
**[20:54] Shiki**
*I have to go with this!*
**[22:30] Master**
The regular meet arc is nearing its end.
**[22:32] Master**
I bet you're all feeling the tension!
**[22:36] Shiki**
Yes!
**[22:37] Akira**
Wow! What's this place? It's so cute!
**[22:40] Akira**
Hey, Koshiyama, let's take a picture!
**[22:42] Shiki**
A picture?
**[22:44] Akira**
It should be a selfie.
**[22:46] Akira**
Maybe from this angle?
**[22:47] Shiki**
S-Selfie?
**[22:49] Akira**
Here we go! Strike a pose!
**[22:52] Akira**
Come on, make a cuter pose than that.
**[22:56] Shiki**
This is harder than quiz bowl!
