ME: And all three are right for $50 on a tough question (Applause)! Great work. One more question this round, and it's on THE CALENDAR.
Many Americans know the months of their federal holidays, but how well do you know the Canadian statutory holidays? I'll name three such holidays. Pick one and tell me the month in which Canadians celebrate it. Look at the screen.
A. Victoria Day
B. Canada Day
C. Thanksgiving
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, John, James.
ME: Matt, take it!

ME: We only needed the month, which you gave, so you're right. James and Matt score $75 apiece (Applause...CLANGCLANGCLANGCLANGCLANG!).
(Theme starts up)
ME: And that means it's the end of Round One! We're going to check in on the scores and see that Matt is leading, James is not too far behind, and John is trailing, but with double the stakes in the next round, John could easily get himself back in the game.
JAMES: $525
JOHN: $300
MATT: $675
ME: Before we go, here's our play-at-home question. Try this...
Earlier, we learned that rabbits and hares are different. Biologically speaking, what is the difference between them?
ME: We'll find out the answer and play more "Split Second" right after this!

(Theme plays as the camera shows me chatting with the contestants)
BRIAN: Did you know the answer to our home viewer question? What's the difference between hares and rabbits? Quite a bit, actually! Hares are larger, have longer ears and hind legs, and live alone or with one other above ground, while rabbits live in large groups underground.
(Art card as Brian does this promo)
BRIAN: Questions on "Split Second" are verified by the 2017 World Book Encyclopedia, featuring over 14,000 pages with over 1,000 new or revised articles, 25,000 illustrations, and QR codes for downloadable content. As always, easy to use, easy to read, and easy to understand, the World Book Encyclopedia is the perfect reference for young and old. Back to you, Jon!
(Shot of me back at my podium)
ME: Thanks, Brian! James is trailing slightly as we go in to Round Two. But, anything can change, because we have now doubled the stakes. You'll earn $100 each if all three of you are right, $150 each for two correct answers, and $300 if you give a correct answer on your own. You've got a chance to earn a lot of money, because all the money you earn is yours no matter what. More importantly, though, you're battling for position in the Countdown Round, which will determine who goes on to play for a beautiful new Toyota (Applause).
ME: With that in mind, let's resume. First question is on #1 SONGS AND ARTISTS. Ready? Here we go!
The Nordic nation of Sweden has produced some of the world's most successful pop and rock groups, including ABBA. I'll give the titles and years of three #1 hits performed by Swedish groups. Pick one and name the group. Look at the screen.
A. 1985: "The Final Countdown"
B. 1989: "The Look"
C. 1994: "The Sign"
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: John, Matt, James.
ME: John?

Thanks, John. Trust me, I understand, as my presence will be reduced here in the near future. James was right, so he and Matt each score $150 (Applause). By the way, THE SIGN was by ACE OF BASE. Next question comes tomorrow.

ME: Next question is on SPORTS.
In college sports, conferences often have numbers in their names. I'll give three such conferences. Pick one and tell me, YES or NO, does it have EXACTLY that number of full-member teams? Look at the screen.
A. Big 10
B. Big 12
C. Pac-12
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, James, John.
ME: Matt, start off.

ME: Matt, incorrect. James, incorrect. John, if you can correctly answer Part C. PAC-12, you'll get $300 solo.

PAC-12.............No.

ME: No one scores this time (Audience groans). Here's the explanation: Big 10 actually has 14 teams, so that's a NO; Big 12 actually has 10 teams, so that's also a NO; and the Pac-12 has exactly 12 teams for a YES. That's all right. Let's proceed to a question on TRANSPORTATION.
In the U.S., many long-distance journeys are completed by plane. In many foreign countries, though, high-speed trains make short work of long distances (Laughter). I'll name three high-speed rail services. Pick one, and name its home country. Look at the screen.
A. TGV
B. AVE
C. Shinkansen
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: James, John, Matt.
ME: James, please start us off.

ME: James and John both score this time (Applause). Matt, the AVE is in SPAIN. That was a toughie, though. Let's check the scores...
JAMES: $825
JOHN: $450
MATT: $825
ME: Wow! We have a tie for the lead! Let's see if we can break it with a question on CELEBRITY COUPLES.
One of the most recognizable couples in England, outside of royalty, is David and Victoria Beckham. I'm going to ask three questions about this couple. Pick one and answer it. Look at the screen.
A. Her Spice Girl nickname?
B. His Premier League soccer team?
C. How many children do they have?
(BONG! BONG! BONG!)
ORDER: Matt, John, James.
ME: Matt, off you go!
