ME: The next question is on LITERATURE.
For many high school and college students, the works of Charles Dickens are required reading. I'll name 3 characters from Dickens' novels. Select one, and name the novel. Look at the screen.
A. Fagan
B. Esther Summerson
C. Pip
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Frank, Matt, James.
ME: Frank, you're up.

ME: All three right again for $50 each (Applause)! James leads at $350, Matt and Frank are tied at $275. Next question is on GENERAL KNOWLEDGE.
A lot of the facts we learn seem to be things that everyone knows for certain...or do they? I'll list 3 facts. Pick one, and tell me if it is TRUE or FALSE. Look at the screen.
A. The saxophone is a brass instrument.
B. The Statue of Liberty is located in the state of New York.
C. The koala is a bear.
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Frank, Matt.
ME: James, it's to you.

The Statue of Liberty is located in the state of New York true.

ME: Surprisingly, it's FALSE! I'll explain when we're through. Frank, you're next. Pick A or C, please.

I will say the saxophone is a brass instrument is true.

The Koala is a Bear. True

ME: All three are incorrect this time (Audience groans). All the statements were FALSE. Here's why: the saxophone is a woodwind instrument, not brass; the koala is a marsupial, not a bear; and the Statue of Liberty is on an island in the waters belonging to New Jersey, not New York. Moral of the story: don't believe everything you hear (slight laughter). Moving on to ART.
In the 20th Century, many Americans made great contributions to the visual arts. I'll describe 3 types of work. Pick one, and name the American artist. Look at the screen.
A. Photographs of Yosemite
B. Paintings of the Desert Southwest
C. Giant steel sculptures and mobiles
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Matt, Frank.
ME: James?

ME: Yes! Good for $150 (Applause)! For the first time this game, we have a three-way split: Frank leads at $425, James at $350, Matt at $275. By the way, the other answers were GEORGIA O'KEEFE for the paintings of the Southwest and ALEXANDER CALDER for the steel sculptures. Let's try a question on TELEVISION.
In the 1970s, satellite and cable technologies allowed local TV stations to broadcast to the entire nation. I'll give the call letters for 3 of these "Superstations." Pick one, and name the U.S. city in which it originated. Look at the screen.
A. WTBS
B. WGN
C. WWOR
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Frank, Matt, James.
ME: Frank, start us off.

ME: All three right again (Applause)! Frank leads at $475, James is at $400, Matt at $325. Last question of the round is on VIDEO GAMES.
In the Pokemon franchise, the titular monsters use various forces of nature to attack their opponents. For instance, the Pokemon Pidgey relies on wind to attack. I'll list 3 Pokemon. Pick one, and tell me the primary force of nature it uses when attacking. Look at the screen.
A. Pikachu
B. Vulpix
C. Blastoise
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, Frank, Matt.
ME: James, you're first.

ME: That's right. Matt, you may have B or C.
