[00:00] Shiki
    It's already been a week since then.
[00:03] Shiki
    Fukami-san has invited me numerous times...
[00:07] Mari
    I finally caught you!
[00:08] Mari
    Why haven't you been coming here lately?
[00:10] Mari
    I've been waiting for you!
[00:12] Mari
    It felt great, didn't it?
[00:14] Mari
    Did you forget that already?
[00:16] Mari
    It was your first time, wasn't it?
[00:18] Mari
    Anyone would want to keep doing it more...
[00:24] Mari
    after getting a correct answer
    like that in quiz bowl!
[00:27] Shiki
    It's not so much quiz bowl...
[00:29] Shiki
    I haven't really given much
    thought to any clubs yet.
[00:33] Mari
    If you haven't picked one, that's perfect!
[00:35] Mari
    You can't just run away now! It's not fair!
[00:38] Shiki
    Yeah, but...
[00:45] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun...
[00:48] Mari
    Listen to me, okay?
[00:49] Shiki
    O-Okay...
[00:51] Mari
    Tomorrow is Saturday,
    and we don't have school.
[00:54] Mari
    Will you be free?
[00:55] Shiki
    Huh? W-Well, if I had to say
    one way or the other...
[00:58] Shiki
    I-I'm free, yes.
[01:00] Mari
    Then I'll be waiting
    tomorrow morning at ten,
[01:01] Mari
    at the Kawata Station ticket gates.
[01:04] Shiki
    Huh?! Wh-Wh-Why?!
[01:05] Kuroda
    Fukami-san, you're proposing a date already?
[01:08] Kuroda
    With him?
[01:09] Mari
    Huh?
[01:12] Mari
    N-No, it's not like that!
[01:14] Mari
    There's a quiz meet tomorrow
    at Sekigaoka High School.
[01:17] Mari
    Our quiz bowl circle is going to watch!
[01:20] Shiki
    Huh?
[01:21] Mari
    I want you to watch it with us,
    even if it's only as a provisional member.
[01:26] Shiki
    O-Oh, a quiz thing?
[01:28] Shiki
    I see... A quiz thing...
[01:29] Inoue
    Um, Fukami-san...
[01:32] Inoue
    Could I join you for that, too?
[01:34] Mari
    Really?
[01:35] Mari
    Yes! Please come along, Inoue-kun!
[01:41] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun, see you tomorrow!
[01:44] Shiki
    Uh, yeah. Tomorrow.

SIGN    Question 2: "A Matter of 0.01 Seconds?!"
[03:23] Shiki
    I let her talk me into coming,
[03:26] Shiki
    but doesn't getting here first make
    me look like I'm trying too hard?
[03:29] Mari
    Koshiyama-kun!
[03:33] Mari
    I'm so glad! You really came!
[03:37] Mari
    I was kind of pushy about it,
    so I was worried you wouldn't.
[03:42] Mari
    Still twenty minutes to go...
[03:47] Shiki
    Wait, am I alone with Fukami-san right now?
[03:50] Shiki
    I'm alone with a girl,
    even though I'm not at school?
[03:53] Shiki
    Wh-What do I talk about?
[03:56] Mari
    Okay, here's a question.
[03:57] Shiki
    Huh?
[03:58] Mari
    Napoleon was famously born on what
    Mediterranean island in the French domain?
[04:02] Shiki
    Corsica?
[04:04] Mari
    Bingo!
[04:05] Shiki
    She's quizzing me here?
[04:07] Mari
    So you're good with history too, huh?
[04:10] Shiki
    Y-Yeah, sort of...
[04:12] Mari
    Then... how about questions like this?
[04:16] Mari
    Here.
[04:18] Mari
    The area of exposed skin
    between the hem of a miniskirt
[04:23] Mari
    and the tops of knee-high
    socks is known by what name?
[04:27] Shiki
    Th-There's a name for that?
[04:30] Mari
    As I suspected.
[04:31] Mari
    You like books, but you're not an otaku.
[04:35] Shiki
    Wh-What's the answer?
[04:37] Mari
    Absolute territory.
[04:40] Shiki
    Absolute... territory?
[04:42] Mari
    You know how guys like a teasing
    hint more than full nudity?
[04:45] Mari
    In certain circles, it's one of the
    most potent aspects of moe culture.
[04:50] Shiki
    I had no idea...
[04:51] Shiki
    Absolute territory...
[04:53] Mari
    You won't find it.
[04:56] Mari
    The way you crave more knowledge makes
    you even more suited for quiz bowl.
[04:59] Shiki
    S-Straight to that topic again...
[05:02] Mari
    Exchanging quiz questions and answers
    with others is fun, isn't it?
[05:06] Mari
    I played with my friend that way
    in middle school all the time.
[05:10] Shiki
    Your friend?
[05:12] Mari
    Yeah.
[05:14] Mari
    We ended up in different
    high schools, though.
[05:18] Mari
    I hope we can do quiz bowl
    together again someday.
[05:21] Shiki
    A friend who shares the same hobby, huh?
[05:24] Shiki
    Maybe I should've joined
    the literature club.
[05:27] Mari
    Wait!
[05:29] Mari
    Don't make that your answer yet!
[05:31] Mari
    At least not until after today's meet!
[05:34] Mari
    I'll try really hard today,
    so be sure to watch!
[05:38] Shiki
    O-Okay.
[05:42] Inoue
    Koshiyama!
[05:42] Inoue
    Man, why did you have to get here so early?!
[05:45] Inoue
    Damn it! I'm too late!
[05:47] Mari
    Morning, Inoue-kun.
[05:51] Shiki
    Oh. He's from "certain circles."
[05:53] Gakuto
    Your skirt length, absolute territory,
[05:56] Gakuto
    and sock length have a
    ratio of 4 to 1 to 2.4.
[06:00] Gakuto
    That is imperfect, Fukami-kun.
[06:02] Mari
    Good morning, Sasajima-senpai.
[06:04] Gakuto
    Incidentally, why are there
    only two of you here?
[06:07] Gakuto
    I'm certain my speech was perfect.
[06:10] Shiki
    U-Um...
[06:12] Gakuto
    Oh, you're here?
[06:13] Inoue
    Um, where are the other circle members?
[06:16] Gakuto
    These are all the members.
[06:17] Gakuto
    The Buzou High School quiz
    circle only just started up.
[06:21] Shiki
    If they don't have enough members,
[06:23] Shiki
    it's no wonder she wants me to join.

    Today's event is a quiz meet hosted by

    the Sekigawata quiz circle for
    new quiz bowl team members.
[06:31] Gakuto
    At other schools,
[06:32] Gakuto
    there may well be students who were interested
    in quiz bowl before the school year began.
[06:35] Gakuto
    Even if we can't act, you must stay focused.
[06:38] Inoue
    Um, we're just here to observe, right?
[06:41] Gakuto
    I've entered all of you.
[06:43] Both
    What?!
[06:45] Mari
    Sorry!
[06:46] Gakuto
    Listen up!
[06:47] Gakuto
    All those here are both comrades and rivals!
[06:51] Gakuto
    Be especially attentive to the
    way they all play the game.
[07:04] Inoue
    Our rivals' life bars seem
    to have dropped to zero.
[07:07] Niina
    Sasajima!
[07:09] Niina
    You got enough members. Congrats.

[07:14] Ashiya
    Wow, I'm jealous. You have a girl member.
[07:17] Chiaki
    It makes no difference whether you're
    male or female in quiz bowl.
[07:21] Chiaki
    The reason there are so
    few girls in quiz bowl
[07:22] Chiaki
    is because most of the schools with strong
    quiz bowl teams are all boys' schools.
[07:26] Chiaki
    But our quiz bowl team is 100% female.
SIGN    Asagaoka Girls' High School Third-year

    Yukicchi...
[07:38] Yuki
    Maririn.
[07:39] Mari
    I haven't seen you since we graduated.
[07:42] Mari
    The Asagaoka uniform looks great on you.
[07:45] Yuki
    Maririn...
[07:46] Yuki
    I didn't know Buzou had a quiz bowl team.
[07:49] Yuki
    That's great.
[07:50] Mari
    I'm so glad I get to play
    quiz bowl with you again.
[07:54] Yuki
    Yeah. Good luck to us both.

    Here's our program for today.
[08:15] Niina
    The buzzer battle will last three rounds.

[08:18] Niina
    In round 1, the 16 participants will
    be split into two groups of eight.
SIGN    Round 2
[08:23] Niina
    The three winners in each group
    will proceed to round 2.

[08:29] Niina

[08:35] Niina
    We'll start with group 1.
[08:39] Mari
    Yukicchi...
[08:41] Niina
    First, we'll have a buzzer test.
[08:44] Shiki
    A buzzer test?
[08:58] Inoue
    Wow, that's kinda cool.
[09:00] Gakuto
    The buzzer test verifies that
    all the buzzers are working,
[09:05] Gakuto
    and gives the players a
    feel for the buzzers.
[09:07] Gakuto
    It's an indispensable ritual
    conducted before every match.
[09:11] Gakuto
    It can also be called the
    signal to begin the match.
[09:14] Shiki
    W-Will I be doing that, too?
[09:18] Guy
    Question.
[09:19] Guy
    In soccer, games played on a team's
    own field are called "hom—
[09:23] Shiki
    A few of them buzzed at once!
[09:24] Shiki
    But...
[09:25] Guy
    Sasaki-kun.
[09:27] Sasaki
    Away.
[09:28] Guy
    Correct!
[09:29] Shiki
    Fukami-san was beaten to the buzzer...
SIGN    Sekigawata Middle School Sasaki
[09:31] Ashiya
    That Sekigawata Middle
    School first-year is good.
[09:33] Shiki
    Middle school first-year?!
[09:35] Gakuto
    In combined middle and high schools,
[09:36] Gakuto
    many clubs include members
    from both school levels.
[09:39] Gakuto
    He has an advantage over people
    who start in high school.

[09:49] Inoue
    Fukami-san was buzzing in, but...
[09:52] (Flashback) Mari
    Fast buzzing can determine the winner
    by a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[09:56] Shiki
    So this is what she meant by
    a margin of 0.01 seconds.
[09:59] Gakuto
    One of the techniques for buzzing
    in at least 0.01 seconds faster
[10:03] Gakuto
    is called "pushing in."
[10:05] Shiki
    Pushing in?
SIGN    Play
SIGN    Conducting Part
[10:06] Gakuto
    In every buzzer is a contact point and a
    conducting part that makes the light go on,
[10:11] Gakuto
    and the slight gap between
    them is called the "play."
[10:14] Gakuto
    Pushing the button down in advance
    until just before it closes that gap
[10:19] Gakuto
    is "pushing in."
[10:21] Inoue
    I bet I'd accidentally
    push it all the way down.
[10:24] Shiki
    Me, too.
[10:28] Shiki
    Fukami-san...

    Stagflation.
[10:47] Guy
    Correct.
[10:48] Shiki
    She's hanging in there, too!
[10:50] Guy
    Question.
[10:51] Guy
    "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Rac—
[10:54] Mari
    Foster.
SIGN    "Oh! Susanna" and "Camptown Races" were written by which songwriter, known as the "father of American music"?
[10:55] Guy
    Correct.
[10:57] Guy
    Fukami-san of Buzou High School
    passes the round with five points!
[11:01] Mari
    Yukicchi...
[11:03] Mari
    I'll be waiting for you in round 2.
[11:06] Shiki
    They're all amazing.
    Can I really do that, too?
[11:11] Miku
    I could buzz in even faster.
[11:15] Miku
    I can't believe you're so surprised
    by weak buzz-ins like that.
[11:19] Shiki
    Wha... Who are you?
[11:21] Miku
    Huh? Who are you?
[11:24] Shiki
    What's with this guy?!

    What middle school are you from, anyway?
[11:35] Ashiya
    Stop it, Mikuriya.
[11:36] Ashiya
    That's rude. Take a good look.
[11:38] Ashiya
    He's small, but he's in a Buzou uniform.
[11:41] Ashiya
    He's a first-year, like you.
[11:43] Miku
    Huh? Seriously?!
[11:44] Miku
    Uh, sorry.
[11:46] Shiki
    It's okay...

SIGN    Asagaoka Girls' High School Kouzuki
[11:50] Guy
    Kouzuki-san of Asagaoka Girls'
    High School has passed the round!
[11:55] Mari
    That's the way, Yukicchi.
[11:57] Gakuto
    And now we have our three advancers.
[12:00] Gakuto
    That's the end of the first group.
[12:02] Mari
    Sasajima-senpai, how was my buzzing?
[12:05] Gakuto
    Not bad.
[12:06] Gakuto
    You seem to excel at classics,
    but that won't be enough.
[12:10] Gakuto
    The second round is sure to be harder.
[12:13] Shiki
    Um... What are "classics"?
[12:18] Inoue
    I want to know that, too.
[12:20] Gakuto
    They're also known as fundamental
    or tired questions.
[12:25] Gakuto
    They're questions that frequently appear
    in quiz meets and question collections.
[12:29] Shiki
    Huh?
[12:30] Inoue
    Oh, I get it.
[12:31] Mari
    No, you don't.
[12:33] Mari
    They may be common questions,
    but they'd be hard for you two.
[12:36] Mari
    The crux of fast buzzing
    is how quickly you can
[12:39] Mari
    narrow down an answer using every
    word of the question as hints.
[12:43] Shiki
    Right... The marks she had
    made on her question sheet!
[12:47] Gakuto
    But the earlier in the meet you are,
SIGN    The _____ of _____ is _____, but
    the _____ of _____ / is what?
[12:49] Gakuto
    the more likely you are to get classic
    questions with simple construction.
[12:52] Gakuto
    Which means the more possible patterns
    you know, the greater your advantage.
SIGN    The _____ are ___,
     / ___ and what?
[12:56] Gakuto
    If you don't know the pattern,
SIGN    From the _____ word for , / a
     _____ is known by what name?
[12:58] Gakuto
    you can't choose the right point
    in the question to buzz in.
[13:00] Mari
    And all of the most common
    questions start out the same way.
[13:05] Inoue
    H-Hang on!
[13:06] Shiki
    This is way too much to take in so soon.
[13:09] Mari
    You're right. Sorry.
[13:12] Mari
    To summarize, the first thing to do
    in quiz bowl is memorize the classics.
[13:20] Shiki
    We don't know the classics at all.
[13:22] Shiki
    Aren't we at a huge disadvantage here?
[13:27] Niina
    Okay, let's do the buzzer test.
[13:35] ---
    Here it comes!
[13:41] Miku
    You pressed it too soon.
[13:43] Niina
    There's no need to rush. Go ahead.
[13:50] Shiki
    He sighed?!
[13:51] Miku
    Might as well get this over with fast.
[13:54] Guy
    Question.
[13:56] Guy
    When asked, "Why climb—
[13:57] Miku
    Mallory?
[13:59] Guy
    Correct.
[14:00] Shiki
    That was fast! He almost
    got it just from "why"!
[14:03] Niina
    Wow, we started off with one of the
    most overused questions of all, huh?
[14:08] Niina
    When asked, "Why climb the mountain?",
[14:10] Niina
    which English mountaineer
    answered, "Because it's there"?
[14:15] Niina
    As soon as you hear "Why climb,"
    you know it's George Mallory.
[14:18] Niina
    Remember that, everyone!
[14:21] Miku
    That's beyond overused. It's almost scripted.
[14:23] Shiki
    What kind of quiz bowl insider info is that?
[14:27] Shiki
    Still, he got the correct answer.
[14:29] Guy
    Question.
SIGN    Miyaura High School Mikuriya
[14:30] Guy
    Officially known as the
    "Convention on Wetlands—
[14:33] Miku
    The Ramsar Convention.
[14:35] Guy
    Correct.
[14:36] Guy
    Question.
[14:37] Guy
    "The Congress Dances"—
[14:39] Miku
    The Vienna Congress.
[14:41] Guy
    Correct.
[14:42] Guy
    Question.
[14:43] Guy
    In jazz music, "doo-bee-doo-bee" and—
[14:45] Miku
    Scat?
[14:47] Guy
    Correct!
[14:48] Guy
    Question.
[14:49] Guy
    In euro, the currency of the
    European Union, the highest—
[14:54] Miku
    500 euro.
[14:56] Guy
    Correct!
[14:57] Guy
    Mikuriya-kun of Miyaura High School passes
    the first round after the first five questions!
[15:03] Inoue
    He's so good, it's creepy.
[15:06] Shiki
    The official name of the Ramsar Convention is
[15:09] Shiki
    the "Convention on Wetlands of International
    Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat."
[15:14] Shiki
    He buzzed in after "Convention on Wetlands."
[15:17] Shiki
    Were all those other questions classics
    like the "why climb" one, too?
[15:22] Shiki
    If I know the answer, but can't buzz
    because I don't know the question...
[15:26] Mari
    He was pretty bold with his buzzer.
[15:28] Gakuto
    He buzzed slightly before
    the determining point.
[15:31] Gakuto
    It's a tactic worth using as
    long as there's no penalty.
[15:34] Shiki
    With Mikuriya through,
    there are two spots left.
[15:38] Guy
    Question.
[15:39] Guy
    In the popular idol group,
    Planet, the oldest—
[15:44] Inoue
    It lit up! Mirai-can!
[15:47] Guy
    C-Correct!
[15:48] Shiki
    I-I don't know anything about that stuff!
[15:51] Niina
    Um, for what it's worth,
    the buttons are delicate,
[15:54] Niina
    so please use them carefully.
[15:56] Guy
    Question.
[15:58] Guy
    Italian for "in the manner of the chapel,"
    music with no instrumental—
[16:03] ---
    They got it.
[16:04] Girl
    A cappella.
[16:06] Guy

    Newton's three laws are the law of
    inertia, the law of motion, and—

    This is just like that question I had
    before about the Kyoto festivals.

    Wow, nice going.

    No, that's not enough!

    Even Inoue's been able to buzz in.
[17:01] Shiki
    Maybe I really can't do this.
[17:03] Shiki
    I couldn't even do the buzzer test right,
