[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. [08:57] Chiaki     Taking first place... SIGN    st SIGN    points [09:01] Chiaki     With 47 points, SIGN    Buzou High School, 2nd Year SIGN    Sasajima Gakuto [09:03] Chiaki     Sasajima Gakuto-kun, second-year,     from Buzou High School. [09:08] All     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. [09:32] Mari     Sasajima-senpai's so cool! [09:36] Chiaki     Next, in second place... SIGN    nd [09:37] Chiaki     With the same score as the top finisher... SIGN    Kaijou High School 2nd Year SIGN    Ohkura Kunimitsu [09:40] Chiaki     Ohkura Kunimitsu-kun, second-year,     from Kaijou High School. [09:42] Ohara     Ah, so close. [09:44] Ohara     The same score means you only missed     out on first by the approximation question. SIGN    Schoolyard SIGN    East     Building SIGN    Audito-     rium SIGN    Hall A SIGN    Court-     yard SIGN    Chapel SIGN    West     Building SIGN    Front      Yard SIGN    School     Building SIGN    Hall B [09:48] Ohkura     It asked for an approximation of the     total area of the Asagaoka campus. [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. SIGN    Miyaura High School 3rd Year SIGN    Ashiya Yousuke [10:13] Chiaki     Next, in third place with 39 points, [10:16] Chiaki     Ashiya Yousuke-kun, third-year,     from Miyaura High School.

SIGN    Miyaura High School 1st Year SIGN    Mikuriya Chisato [11:21] Chiaki     These ten will advance to     the third round as seeds. [11:25] Chiaki     Everyone else will proceed to     Round 2, the fastest finger round. SIGN    You'll be in it?!     Can I come watch?! SIGN    I-I'll be in it,     but I don't think      you can watch SIGN    I thought you      were just     obsessed with     quiz bowl [11:31] Text     So you really     can do quiz     bowl, Senpai... SIGN    What do you guys     take me for? [11:33] Chiaki     We will now continue on to Round 2. [11:36] Chiaki     The two of us will be your commentators... [11:39] Chiaki     Asagaoka third-year, Sonohara Chiaki. [11:42] Yuki     First-year, Kouzuki Yuki. [11:45] Chiaki     If there's anything you don't     understand, just ask me, Yuki-san.

SIGN    Round 2 SIGN    "Thou Shalt Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself" SIGN    5 O 2 X Fastest Finger Quiz [11:56] Chiaki     I will now explain the rules. [12:00] Chiaki     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     finger quiz with up to 25 questions. 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!

SIGN    Group SIGN    Yamada x Gotou SIGN    Fukami x Yagi SIGN    Niina x Takahashi SIGN    Ohki x Miyazaki SIGN    Takamura x Satou [16:18] Chiaki     The Fukami x Mari pairing     earn three "Right" marks.

[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...

[17:20] 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    Group SIGN    Tani x Suwa SIGN    Kumada x Hirosue SIGN    Maruyama x Inoue SIGN    Nakamura x Nakazawa SIGN    Inamori x Namiki [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? [22:30] Guy     The regular meet at Asagaoka     has finally begun! [22:33] Guy     Now, take this mic and tell me     how you feel about this meet! [22:36] Chiaki     All right, I'll go first. [22:38] Chiaki     I will have you all at my     mercy with my quiz questions! [22:42] Ashiya     I'll show you the pride of a public school! [22:45] Gakuto     For the Buzou quiz circle... [22:46] Gakuto     Victory! [22:48] Niina     The long-established Sekigawata     will win for sure! [22:52] Ohkura     I'm so glad you're back, Sasajima! [22:56] Guy     Yes, yes! How wonderful it is to be young!
