[00:03] Mom
    Shiki?
[00:06] Shiki
    S-Sorry I woke you.
[00:08] Mom
    Wearing your school uniform on a Sunday?
[00:10] Mom
    Are you going to school?
[00:11] Shiki
    Yeah. My club has a quiz meet today.
[00:14] Mom
    Club? A meet?!
[00:16] Shiki
    Y-Yeah.
[00:17] Mom
    I had no idea!
[00:18] Mom
    What about lunch?
    I'll pack you one right away!
[00:22] Shiki
    My memories of my dad reading
    books to me when I was little
[00:26] Shiki
    seem so far away in my memory now.
[00:29] Shiki
    For me, reading was a way for me
    to have fun in my own little world.
[00:35] Shiki
    I'm borrowing this book today.
[00:39] Shiki
    I learned a lot of things in
    my world spun from letters.
[00:43] Shiki
    It's my own secret world,
    which I've kept warm all this time.
[00:46] Shiki
    And now, it's starting to connect me
    with the world everyone else inhabits...
[00:50] Shiki
    The quiz bowl world.
[00:54] Shiki
    Okay!
SIGN    Question 8: "\Greetings/ Asagaoka Regular Meet!"
[02:26] Chiaki
    Thank you all for participating in
    today's regular meet here at Asagaoka.
[02:31] Chiaki
    Once you've signed in,
    please sit wherever you like.
[02:35] Shiki
    We're having a quiz meet
    in a place like this?
[02:39] Jinko
    Looks fun!
[02:40] Gakuto
    Keep it down, Jinko.
[02:42] Gakuto
    The rule is that spectators can't
    interfere with participants.
[02:46] Mari
    Yukicchi! It's been half
    a month since I saw you!
[02:48] Yuki
    There, there. We can hang
    out again starting from today.
[02:50] Inoue
    What's that about?
[02:52] Kenmochi
    A gag order.
[02:54] Kenmochi
    We were told not to associate with
    students from other schools until the meet.
[02:59] Gakuto
    The host school is in charge of
    managing the questions and rules.
SIGN    Present
[03:02] Gakuto
    To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings,
SIGN    Inoue Daisuke
    Koshiyama Shiki
    Sasajima Gakuto
    Fukami Mari
[03:04] Gakuto
    they must take care when
     associating with participating schools.
[03:07] Inoue
    Huh?
[03:08] Shiki
    They're doing it by the book, huh?
[03:10] Niina
    So Ashiya-kun, your tests
    are in two days, aren't they?
[03:13] Ashiya
    Niina...
[03:14] Ashiya
    There's no way I could miss this meet when
    kids from my school are participating.
[03:18] Maruyama
    Mikuriya, what are you doing?
[03:21] Mikuriya
    What are you—
[03:21] Voice
    Question: Kyoto's Golden Pavilion
    and Silver Pavilion are—
[03:24] Mikuriya
    Give that back!
[03:24] Maruyama
    He's listening to questions!
[03:28] Mukai
    Seriously?!
[03:30] Shiki
    Mikuriya-kun...
[03:31] Mikuriya
    So you came, Koshiyama.
[03:33] Mikuriya
    I hope you've been brushing up.
[03:35] Shiki
    A quiz competition with Mikuriya-kun...
[03:38] Shiki
    I can't wait!
[03:42] Niina
    It's Kaijou Academy.
[03:44] Ashiya
    The veteran quiz team and
    champions of the east.
[03:47] Niina
    So Kaijou's club president
    this year is Ohkura, huh?
[03:50] Ashiya
    He ranked first on the national
    mock exams in literature.
SIGN    Kaijou High School 2nd Year
    Ohkura Kunimitsu
[03:52] Ashiya
    No one can match him on the paper quiz.
[03:55] Mari
    Kaijou Academy's quiz team...
    That's where my brother used to play!
[04:01] Gakuto
    Kaijou, eh? They look tough again this year.
[04:04] Shiki
    They all look really impressive.
[04:07] Gakuto
    Kaijou isn't the only tough school here.
[04:09] Gakuto
    Sekigawata, whose club
    president is Niina-san...
[04:12] Gakuto
    Miyaura, whose president is Ashiya-san...
[04:15] Gakuto
    And then there's Yokohama
    Kannami University High School...
[04:17] Gakuto
    and Chiba's Leoneil.
[04:20] Gakuto
    They're all equally prestigious schools.
[04:23] Jinko
    Whoa! Whazzat?
[04:29] Chiaki
    Welcome to the Asagaoka Regular Meet.
[04:33] Chiaki
    As the Bible teaches, "Those who
    think they know something
[04:38] Chiaki
    do not yet know as they ought to know."
[04:43] Chiaki
    It also says, "As iron sharpens iron,
    so one person sharpens another."
[04:49] Chiaki
    Young ones, apply yourselves to the fullest!
[04:52] Chiaki
    May God bless you and keep you.
[04:55] All
    Amen.
[05:01] Chiaki
    Nailed it.
[05:04] Yuki
    Today's events will proceed in the order
    outlined in the programs you received at sign-in.
[05:08] Shiki
    So this is today's program...
[05:11] Yuki
    We are now distributing paper quizzes.
SIGN    In the Beginning, There Was The Word
[05:16] Yuki
    Round 1 will now begin.
[05:18] Yuki
    You have ten minutes.
[05:22] Shiki
    The paper quiz is fifty questions,
[05:24] Shiki
    including one that calls for approximation.
[05:26] Mikuriya
    Religious stuff right off the bat...
[05:28] Mikuriya
    Looks like this is going to
    follow us around all day.
[05:35] Yuki
    You have one minute left.
[05:37] Yuki
    Thirty seconds.
[05:39] Yuki
    Stop.
[05:41] Yuki
    We will now take a break.
[05:43] Yuki
    The answers will be announced at 12:00,
    and rankings will be announced at 12:10.
[05:43] Inoue
    Koshiyama, let's go see what an
    all-girls school looks like!
[05:45] Shiki
    Sorry, I'll pass.
[05:48] Inoue
    Oh, fine...
[05:49] Mari
    Inoue-kun, let's go get some drinks.
[05:52] Inoue
    Sure!
[05:57] Akira
    Man, what a drag.
[06:02] Inoue
    Don't stand there and drink it! Move!
[06:10] Akira
    Sorry.
[06:13] Inoue
    Huh? Where have I...
[06:16] Akira
    Bullseye.
[06:18] Ohkura
    Sasajima.
[06:20] Gakuto
    Ohkura.
[06:22] Shiki
    Wh-What does Kaijou's club president
    have to say to Sasajima-senpai?!
[06:29] Ohkura
    You finally showed up, Sasajima?!
[06:31] Gakuto
    Uh, well, looks that way, yeah...
[06:33] Ohkura
    I've waited for you this whole time!
[06:35] Ohkura
    I heard rumors that you started
    a quiz team at Buzou,
[06:39] Ohkura
    and I thought to myself, "Now's the time!"
[06:40] Gakuto
    Okay, I get it. Now, get off
    me. You're in my face.
[06:44] Chiaki
    Quickly, accurately, and efficiently!
[06:47] All
    Yes!
[06:48] Kogawa
    I've finished scoring the first one!
[06:50] Yuki
    Um, President...
[06:51] Yuki
    This person got most of the answers right,
[06:54] Yuki
    but somehow, all the answers from
    Question 4 onward are a space off.
[06:58] Chiaki
    Huh? Who did that?
[07:00] Yuki
    Does that mean...
[07:02] Chiaki
    Naturally. Mark them all as incorrect.
[07:04] Yuki
    What a waste...
[07:06] Chiaki
    The high-ranking players with the
    real skills are a cut above the others.
[07:09] Chiaki
    They're even getting the toughest
    questions we could throw at them.
[07:13] Chiaki
    I look forward to the remaining rounds.
SIGN    Question 2
SIGN    June Bride
[07:16] Kujou
    The answer to Question 2 was "June bride."
[07:19] Ohkura
    You haven't been to a meet
    since last summer, have you?
[07:22] Gakuto
    Guess not.
[07:23] Ohkura
    Does this mean you're back
    on the quiz bowl scene?
[07:25] Gakuto
    I don't believe I ever left.
[07:28] Ohkura
    But Senpai mourned the loss of
    his most promising rookie, his ace.
[07:35] Gakuto
    Losing one or two members doesn't
    diminish Kaijou's strength one bit.
[07:40] Gakuto
    Besides, no matter where I go,
    I can still do quiz bowl.
[07:44] Mari
    They're announcing the answers.
[07:45] Inoue
    Huh? We don't get our answer sheets back?
[07:49] Mari
    I guess not. Just like with entrance exams,
[07:52] Mari
    people who want to know how they
    did can grade their own work.
[07:54] Shiki
    I guess this was a step too far, after all.
[07:56] Shiki
    Current affairs, anime,
    show business, fashion...
[07:59] Shiki
    I can't keep up with all
    this new information.
[08:02] Jinko
    Probably 'cause you're always
    readin' stuffy old books.
[08:05] Shiki
    I tend to lean more toward the
    classics, because I like them best.
[08:09] Shiki
    My mom always tells me I got
    my taste in books from my dad.
[08:14] Shiki
    He died, though.
[08:19] Shiki
    Even now, I still binge-read
    his books all the time.
[08:22] Shiki
    And they're all masterpieces
    from way back when.
[08:26] Shiki
    But I think I might need to start
    reading different kinds of books.
[08:32] Inoue
    You can take it slow, can't you?
[08:34] Mari
    It's awesome that your knowledge
    came from reading your dad's books.
[08:37] Mari
    That's a fine weapon to have.
[08:39] Gakuto
    Mastering your best subject, or
    conquering categories you don't excel in...
[08:43] Gakuto
    All of you have only just begun
    on your quiz bowl journey.
[08:46] Gakuto
    There's no need to rush.
[08:48] Chiaki
    Next, the announcement you've all been
    waiting for: your rankings on the paper quiz.
[08:52] Yuki
    The top ten will advance to Round 3,
[08:55] Yuki
    and everyone else will
    participate in Round 2.

    Seriously?!
[09:11] Niina
    He's on Buzou's rookie team now,
[09:13] Niina
    but he's the real deal.
    It's clear he came from Kaijou.
[09:17] Yuki
    Congratulations.
[09:18] Yuki
    Buzou High School is participating
    for the first time this year.
[09:21] Yuki
    How do you feel about today?
[09:22] Gakuto
    I hope the younger members of my club
    will gain a lot from today's meet.
[09:28] Yuki
    And for you, personally?
[09:30] Gakuto
    I intend to enjoy myself.

[09:48] Ohkura
    It asked for an approximation of the

[09:51] Ohkura
    When the exact number is unknown,
[09:53] Ohkura
    you make a rough, theoretical
    estimate based on a few assumptions.
[09:58] Ohkura
    The Fermi estimate.
[09:59] Ohkura
    That's probably how Sasajima calculated it.
[10:01] Gakuto
    I looked it up on Asagaoka's
    homepage beforehand.
[10:06] Gakuto
    I knew it might turn up on the quiz.
[10:09] Ohkura
    His intuition is often right.

    Participants in Round 2 will
    draw cards to form pairs.
[12:04] Chiaki
    Each participant will have a buzzer,
[12:06] Chiaki
    but they will be scored as a pair.
SIGN    Up to 25 Questions
[12:09] Yuki
    It will be a five right, two wrong fastest

SIGN    Fastest Finger Quiz
[12:12] Yuki
    A correct answer earns a "Right" mark, and
    an incorrect answer earns a "Wrong" mark.
SIGN    Marks Win!
[12:16] Yuki
    Five "Right" marks mean you win the round,
SIGN    Marks Disqualify
[12:18] Yuki
    and two "Wrong" marks mean disqualification.
SIGN    Each Question Has Two Answers
[12:20] Chiaki
    However, each question in this
    quiz will have two answers.
[12:26] Yuki
    The buzzer of the participant
    who buzzes in first will blink,
[12:29] Yuki
    and their partner's will glow.
[12:31] Yuki
    The question will continue to be
    read until two people have buzzed in.
SIGN    Quiz Quiz / Quiz /
SIGN    Up to Two Can Answer Each Question
[12:35] Yuki
    Up to two participants can earn the
    right to answer each question.
[12:38] Yuki
    If both members of
    a pairing answer correctly,
[12:41] Yuki
    it counts as three "Right" marks,
[12:43] Yuki
    but they must answer in the
    order that they buzzed.
[12:45] Yuki
    There will be no conferring.
[12:47] Gakuto
    Pairs? Two correct answers per
    question? Two can buzz in?
[12:50] Gakuto
    You've really thought this out, Asagaoka!
[12:52] Shiki
    Are these rules uncommon?
[12:54] Gakuto
    They're certainly unorthodox.
[12:56] Gakuto
    Quiz questions and formats
    have infinite possibilities,
[12:58] Gakuto
    depending on what the creator comes up with.
[13:01] Gakuto
    This should be a good competition.
[13:06] Mari
    A sun?
[13:07] Yagi
    A sun? That's me.
[13:10] Yagi
    I'm Yagi, and I'm a first-year at
    Kannami University High School.
[13:13] Yagi
    I'm no good at quiz bowl yet, though.
[13:15] Mari
    I'm Fukami, a first-year at Buzou.
[13:17] Mari
    I'm not that confident, either.
    Let's just try our hardest, okay?
[13:21] Yuki
    The first group of pairs in
    Round 2 has been determined.
[13:25] Chiaki
    Only one pair from each
    group can win the round.
[13:29] Chiaki
    This will test the love
    between each partner!
[13:31] Niina
    Time to make up for botching the paper quiz!
[13:46] Shiki
    This is as great as I thought it'd be!
[13:49] Chiki
    Group A in this two-answers-
    per-question quiz will now begin!
[13:53] Kujou
    Question.
[13:54] Kujou
    The three largest religions
    in the world are Christ—
[13:58] Niina
    Buddhism!
[13:59] Gotou
    Islam!
[14:00] Chiaki
    Correct.
[14:03] Mari
    Numerated format...
SIGN    Q: The three largest religions in the world are
    Christianity, what, and what? A: Buddhism, Islam
[14:04] Shiki
    I get it!
[14:05] Shiki
    Since there are two answers, the
    determining points are different!
[14:08] Jinko
    What do ya mean by that?
[14:10] Inoue
    If you buzz in where you would if the question
    had only one answer, you'll be too late.
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Yamada x Gotou
SIGN    Fukami x Yagi
SIGN    Niina x Takahashi
SIGN    Ohki x Miyazaki
[14:14] Kujou
    Question.
[14:15] Kujou
    Of all the prefectural capitals, the kanji
    meaning "capital" is used in which—
[14:21] Shiki
    All of their reactions
    slowed for an instant.
[14:23] Shiki
    So even if the question's easy,
[14:25] Shiki
    the answer doesn't come to mind easily
    when there are a lot of possible answers?
[14:29] Miyazaki
    Uh... Kyoto!
[14:31] Niina
    No way! I was gonna say Kyoto!
[14:34] Chiaki
    Please give the other answer.
[14:36] Niina
    It's not Tokyo...
[14:38] Niina
    Utsunomiya... That's it! Utsunomiya!
SIGN    Q: Of all the prefectural capitals, the kanji meaning
    "capital" is used in which two names? A: Kyoto, Utsunomiya
[14:42] Shiki
    So you have to come up with both answers...
[14:44] Shiki
    That makes it much harder
    if you're the second to guess.
SIGN    Fukami x Yagi
SIGN    Niina x Takahashi
[14:48] Yagi
    Sorry, Fukami-san. I can't even buzz in.
[14:51] Mari
    It's okay. I can't, either.
[14:53] Mari
    But it's still early.
[14:56] Mari
    In questions with two answers, the harder
    answer tends to be left till last.
[15:00] Mari
    But that doesn't always mean the
    second one will be hard to guess.
[15:03] Kujou
    Question.
[15:04] Kujou
    Napoleon's invasion of Russia is
    the backdrop for Tolstoy's—
[15:08] Shiki
    Fukami-san buzzed in!
[15:10] Chiaki
    Please give the first answer.
[15:12] Niina
    War and—
[15:13] Niina
    Crap! I added the "and"!
[15:15] Mari
    Sometimes the first answer gives
    a hint that leads to the second.
[15:20] (Flashback) Mari
    War and...
[15:22] Mari
    Peace.
[15:22] Chiaki
    Correct.
SIGN    Q: Napoleon's invasion of Russia is the backdrop for
    Tolstoy's literary masterpiece titled "What" and "What"? A: War, Peace
[15:25] Mari
    Yes!
SIGN    Group
SIGN    Yamada x Gotou
SIGN    Fukami x Yagi
SIGN    Niina x Takahashi
SIGN    Ohki x Miyazaki
SIGN    Takamura x Satou
[15:26] Chiaki
    The Niina x Takahashi pairing has three
    "Right" marks and one "Wrong" mark.
[15:29] Chiaki
    Each of the other pairs
    has one "Right" mark.
[15:32] Mari
    Yagi-san, let's buzz in on the next one.
[15:34] Yagi
    Huh? But I might get it wrong!
[15:36] Mari
    The questions haven't
    been that difficult so far.
[15:39] Mari
    And in fastest finger, if you
    don't earn the right to answer,
[15:42] Mari
    you get nowhere.
[15:45] Yagi
    Okay!
[15:46] Kujou
    Question.
[15:47] Kujou
    The countries whose official
    names include "United States"—
[15:51] Chiaki
    That was impressive!
[15:52] Chiaki
    The Fukami x Yagi pair has the
    exclusive right to answer!
[15:55] Chiaki
    The first answer, please, Fukami-san.
[15:57] Yagi
    Um... The first one that comes to mind
    is America, but the other one...
[16:03] Mari
    The United Mexican States.
[16:06] Chiaki
    Correct. The second answer, please.
[16:08] Yagi
    America!
SIGN    Q: The countries whose official names include "United States" are
    what and what? A: United States of America, United Mexican States
[16:09] Chiaki
    Correct.
[16:12] Mari
    We did it!
[16:13] Yagi
    She got the harder answer for me...
[16:16] Yagi
    She's so reliable and nice!

[16:18] Chiaki
    The Fukami x Mari pairing
    earn three "Right" marks.
[16:21] Chiaki
    That gives them four in
    total. One more to win!
[16:23] Inoue
    All right!
[16:24] Jinko
    They just need one more!
[16:25] Chiaki
    Only one pair from each
    group will win the round.
[16:28] Chiaki
    What's going to happen?
[16:30] Niina
    I won't lose this!
[16:30] Mari
    I've got to push on through!
[16:32] Kujou
    Question.
[16:33] Kujou
    Mesopotamian civilization was cultivated—
[16:37] Both
    Yes!
[16:40] Mari
    The Tigris River!
[16:41] Chiaki
    Correct!
[16:43] Chiaki
    The Fukami x Yagi pairing has won the round!
[16:45] Yuki
    Congratulations!
[16:51] Shiki
    Fukami-san made it to Round 3!
[16:54] Gakuto
    Yes. Her understanding of the rules and
    teamwork with her partner led her to victory.
[16:59] Yuki
    Participants in the next group,
    please take to the stage.
[17:02] Inoue
    I guess I'm up now...
[17:04] Jinko
    Have fun!
[17:06] Inoue
    O-Okay!
[17:08] Inoue
    I just hope I get a strong partner...
[17:13] Mari
    He's with Maruyama-kun from Miyaura!
[17:15] Shiki
    It's nice to get someone we know.
[17:17] Maruyama
    Well, we did have a joint practice together.
[17:20] Maruyama
    Let's do this thing.
[17:21] Inoue
    What are your best categories?
[17:23] Maruyama
    Classics. Omnivores.
[17:25] Inoue
    Is that even a category?
[17:27] Chiaki
    We will now begin.
[17:29] Kujou
    Question.
[17:30] Kujou
    Leading out from the human
    heart are two major arteries—
[17:33] Chiaki
    Kumada-kun from Kaijou buzzed in first.
[17:35] Kumada
    Aorta.
[17:37] Chiaki
    Nakamura-kun from Kannami
    buzzed in second.
[17:39] Nakamura
    Pulmonary artery.
SIGN    Q: Leading out from the human heart are two major
    arteries known as what and what? A: Aorta, pulmonary artery
[17:41] Maruyama
    Damn, that was fast!
[17:43] Inoue
    Hey, aren't you good at classics?!
[17:45] Inoue
    That sounded like a classic!
    You should've buzzed!
[17:47] Maruyama
    I did!
[17:48] Jinko
    They're arguin'. Think they'll be okay?
SIGN    Kumada x Hirosue
SIGN    Maruyama x Inoue
SIGN    Nakamura x Nakazawa
[17:52] Maruyama
    This is hopeless.
[17:54] Inoue
    I can't buzz in time.
[17:55] Shiki
    You buzz in when you think you can get
    it, then use your thinking time wisely.
[18:00] Shiki
    We've gone over that a ton in practice.
[18:02] Shiki
    You can do it!
[18:03] Mari
    It's not that Inoue-kun and his
    partner don't know the answer.
[18:06] Mari
    They just need to buzz faster.
[18:08] Jinko
    Really?
[18:09] Gakuto
    The question is whether they can answer
    within five seconds after buzzing.
[18:12] Gakuto
    Making that judgment within a mere 0.01 seconds...
[18:15] Gakuto
    If you hesitate, you'll be beaten.
[18:17] Gakuto
    When you have to weigh up the risk
    of getting a wrong answer,
[18:22] Gakuto
    you might have no choice
    but to be a little reckless.
[18:25] Jinko
    Just don't let 'em beat ya
    in spirit, no matter what!
[18:28] Kujou
    Question.
SIGN    Kumada x Hirosue
SIGN    Maruyama x Inoue
SIGN    Nakamura x Nakazawa
[18:29] Kujou
    Japan is home to two types of wildcats—
[18:32] Inoue
    Oh, you're second!
[18:34] Maruyama
    Yeah, but... Sorry, I only
    know one of the answers.
[18:38] Kumada
    Iriomote cat.
[18:40] Chiaki
    Maruyama-kun, the second answer, please.
[18:42] Maruyama
    As if I know! Uraomote cat!
SIGN    Q: Japan is home to two types of wildcats, the
    what and the what? A: Iriomote cat, Tsushima cat
[18:46] Chiaki
    The other answer was the Tsushima cat.
[18:49] Shiki
    The scary part about this format is
    when you lose the race to buzz in first
[18:53] Shiki
    and end up unwillingly being
    the second to buzz in.

SIGN    Tani x Suwa
SIGN    Kumada x Hirosue

[18:56] Chiaki
    That's one "Wrong" mark for
    the Maruyama x Inoue pairing.
[18:58] Chiaki
    They can't get any more questions wrong.
[19:00] Chiaki
    One pair has four "Right" marks.
    The next question could decide the round!
[19:04] Maruyama
    Is this the end?
[19:05] Inoue
    I wanted to answer at least one...
[19:08] Kujou
    Question.
[19:10] Kujou
    The "Three Views of Japan"—
[19:12] Jinko
    He buzzed!
[19:13] Shiki
    There?!
[19:14] Mari
    Too soon!
[19:15] Chiaki
    The Maruyama x Inoue pair has
    the exclusive right to answer!
[19:18] Shiki
    For the "Three Views of Japan,"
    do they want the locations?
[19:21] Mikuriya
    Judging from how the questions
    have been up to this point,
[19:23] Mikuriya
    it's probably just the standard
    Three Views of Japan.
[19:26] Niina
    The crucial part is which two of the
    three answers they're looking for.
[19:30] Inoue
    I buzzed in just because I
    heard a term I knew, but...
SIGN    Three Views of Japan
[19:34] Inoue
    The Three Views of Japan
    I learned in middle school
[19:35] Inoue
    are Matsushima, Miyajima,
    and Amanohashidate.
SIGN    Matsushima
SIGN    Miyajima
SIGN    Amanohashidate
[19:39] Chiaki
    The first answer, please, Inoue-kun.
[19:41] Inoue
    Well, I know two of those are the answers.
[19:44] Inoue
    N-No problem! I just need to say one!
[19:50] Inoue
    I have to bet it all on a
    two-out-of-three chance!
[19:54] Inoue
    Amanohashidate!
[19:57] Chiaki
    Inoue-kun, that's incorrect.
[19:59] Chiaki
    Unfortunately, the Maruyama x
    Inoue pairing has two "Wrong" marks,
[20:03] Chiaki
    and has been disqualified.
[20:05] Inoue
    Man, I lost.
[20:08] Inoue
    But I guess them's the breaks.
[20:10] Shiki
    Inoue...
[20:12] Mari
    You tried really hard, though!
[20:14] Mari
    It takes guts to buzz in that early!
[20:17] Inoue
    It blew up in my face, though.
[20:19] Gakuto
    If there had been one correct answer,
[20:21] Gakuto
    Amanohashidate might have
    been the right guess.
SIGN    Matsushima
    Miyajima
    Amanohashidate
SIGN    The Three Views of Japan
[20:25] Gakuto
    In numerated format questions,
    one of the possible answers
[20:29] Gakuto
    is usually radically different,
[20:32] Gakuto
    while the other two have
    something in common.
SIGN    Matsushima
    Miyajima
    Amanohashidate
[20:35] Gakuto
    And when there's only one answer,
    the one that's different is usually correct.
SIGN    Matsushima
    Miyajima
    Amanohashidate
[20:42] Gakuto
    But when questions in the numerated
    format have two answers...
[20:46] Shiki
    I get it! It works the opposite way,
SIGN    Matsushima
    Miyajima
    Amanohashidate
SIGN    The Three Views of Japan
[20:48] Shiki
    so the two that are similar are the answers!
SIGN    Matsushima
    Miyajima
    Amanohashidate
[20:50] Gakuto
    But there's no guarantee that the question's
    composition will follow any sort of rule.
[20:57] Gakuto
    And that's why determining
    points are crucial.
[21:01] Shiki
    That's really interesting...
[21:03] Shiki
    It's not just the people answering that
    have to think about the questions.
[21:11] Yuki
    Participants in the next
    group, please get ready.
[21:16] Shiki
    Here I go.
[21:19] Inoue
    That kid...
[21:20] Inoue
    Every time he learns something
    new, he calls it "interesting."
[21:24] Inoue
    I just feel more and more
    like I can't keep up.
[21:29] Jinko
    If ya ask me, I think you're pretty
    amazin' yourself, Taishou.
[21:33] Inoue
    Huh?
[21:34] Jinko
    Mari, you were sayin' the
    same thing, weren't ya?
[21:36] Jinko
    About how it takes guts to buzz in.
[21:39] Jinko
    Competitions are a game of chance.
     Today's loss will lead to tomorrow's win!
[21:43] Jinko
    Ya did just great!
[21:45] Inoue
    Jinko-san... Thank ya kindly!
[21:48] Jinko
    What's with that Kansai dialect?
    Your pronunciation's all wrong.
[21:50] Inoue
    Huh?
[21:53] Shiki
    It's not just the people answering
    that think about the questions.
[21:57] Shiki
    The people who write the
    questions think hard about them,
[22:01] Shiki
    and a lot of detailed planning
    goes into coming up with them.
[22:06] Shiki
    If I can read into that and understand it...
[22:09] Yuki
    Well, it's time for the next
    group to start, Onee-sama.
[22:14] Chiaki
    Which pairing will advance to Round 3?

    has finally begun!

    For the Buzou quiz circle...
