ME: Actually, Boston does. It's America's oldest subway, and the locals call it "The T." James and John score $75 (Applause). Quick check on the scores, please.
JAMES: $250
JOHN: $175
MATT: $175
ME: Close game so far. Next question is on ANIMALS.
Many animals have deceptive names. For instance, a "killer whale" isn't really a whale; rather, it's a dolphin. I'll name 3 other species of animals. Pick one and tell me, YES or NO, is it really the species of animal that its name suggests? Look at the screen.
A. Silkworm
B. Guinea Pig
C. Jackrabbit
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, James.
ME: John, start off again.

ME: Only Matt scores this time (Everyone reacts with surprise). The GUINEA PIG is actually a rodent, so Matt was right. John, a JACKRABBIT is a hare - same family, but different species. James, a SILKWORM is a caterpillar, not a worm. Matt now vaults into the clear lead with $325 (Applause)!
ME: Let's go on to SPORTS.
Without question, the world's most popular sport is soccer. Even Canadians love it, and they cheer on the country's three teams in America's MLS organization. I'll give the names of the 3 Canadian MLS teams, each missing the name of its city. Pick one and name the city. Look at the screen.
A. _____ Whitecaps
B. _____ FC
C. _____ Impact
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, James.
ME: John, start us off!

ME: There you go. Matt and James score this time (Applause). By the way, "FC" is right here in TORONTO...Toronto FC. Let's check the scores...
JAMES: $325
JOHN: $175
MATT: $400
ME: ...and proceed with a question on SIGNS AND SYMBOLS.
The official symbol of the Islamic faith, the crescent moon and star, can be found on the flags of Turkey and many other Islamic nations. I'll name 3 other Islamic nations. Pick one and tell me, YES or NO, does its flag contain a crescent moon and star? Look at the screen.
A. Pakistan
B. Indonesia
C. Tunisia

ORDER: John, Matt, James.

ME: James and Matt score $75 each (Applause). Here's a question on COOKING.
In many forms of Asian cooking, the tools used to cook many dishes are as important as the edibles themselves. I'll name three Asian cooking vessels. Pick one and tell me the style of Asian cooking in which it is primarily used. Look at the screen.
A. A Tandoor
B. A Wok
C. A Hibachi
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, John, James.

ME: John, you're right. James, a TANDOOR....
JAMES: Pass.
(BUZZ!)
ME: ....is INDIAN. In a rare instance, the champ is the only one who doesn't score. John and Matt get $75 each (Applause). Matt extends his lead to $550, James in second with $400, and John is trailing with $250. Question on COMIC STRIPS.
Many of the comic strips you see in newspapers nowadays have been drawn by the same person for decades. I'll name three long-running current comic strips. Pick one and tell me its cartoonist. Look at the screen.
A. "Doonesbury"
B. "Garfield"
C. "Curtis"
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, John, James.
