(Buzzer)The correct answer on that question is True. JAMES | RAYMOND | SERGIO | TIME BANK: 45 | TIME BANK: 70 | TIME BANK: 40 |
And that leaves with only 1 question left for the Science and Technology category, and here it is, and it's a lengthy one, so listen closely. The ever so little Pluto was all the rage in 2006 when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Many people were furious about how Pluto was being treated and physics teachers across the world fainted at the prospect of losing their holy grail, the mnemonic for the planets! Which of the following was a reason for "downgrading" Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet?A. Pluto is too close to Neptune B. Pluto does not clear its orbit C. Pluto is too cold James: 20 Raymond: 10 Sergio: 16 Magic #: 5 JAMES | RAYMOND | SERGIO | TIME BANK: 45 | TIME BANK: 70 | TIME BANK: 40 |

B: Pluto doesn't clear its orbit.

|

Post by dad90 on Jun 19, 2018 15:54:10 GMT -5
And that is the correct answer! (Correct!)JAMES | RAYMOND | SERGIO | TIME BANK: 45 | TIME BANK: 70 | TIME BANK: 50 |
(Audience Applause; Ding)The new criteria outlining what is and is not a planet was very controversial. Pluto does not clear its orbit, that is there are bodies of similar size to Pluto, such as the larger Eris, nearby. On a separate note, there is a wonderful diagram which shows how abnormal Pluto's orbit of the Sun is. From Mercury through Neptune, the eight planets travel around the Sun on the same plane. In other words, if you placed all the ellipses on a flat surface (this is difficult to imagine for something in space and even harder to explain!) then Mercury's elliptical orbit will fit inside Venus' orbit and so on. None of the elliptical orbits are at different angles (of any significance) so they would appear flat - a plane! That is until we reach Pluto! If the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all line up nicely, then Pluto likes to wander! In relation to the eight planets, Pluto's orbit rises above the plane at one focus and falls below the plane at the other focus. This led to Pluto being closer to the Sun than Neptune at times as Pluto's orbit intercepted that of Neptune's. One of the old mnemonics used to go "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas". I can just imagine physics teachers scrambling for a piece of paper and a pencil trying desperately to come up with a new mnemonic for class the next day. Drops of perspiration on the forehead as they envisage standing in front of the class with nothing but "My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine...". Nine what? Argh! And now Sergio, this Bonus question is coming up for you. BONUS: What is the name of Pluto’s moon?You have 12 hours to answer, starting now.

Dayo, let's give it a shot and my answer is Charon (With a C, by the way).

Post by dad90 on Jun 20, 2018 14:48:30 GMT -5
Charon is absolutely right! (Correct!)JAMES | RAYMOND | SERGIO | TIME BANK: 45 | TIME BANK: 70 | TIME BANK: 55 |
(Audience Applause; Ding)Charon, Pluto's moon, was discovered by James Christy on 22nd June 1978. So, as we've reached the end of the first half of Round 1... JAMES | RAYMOND | SERGIO | TIME BANK: 45 | TIME BANK: 70 | TIME BANK: 55 |
we have James with 45 seconds, Sergio with 55 seconds and in the lead is Raymond with 70 seconds in his Time Bank. (Audience Applause)But now, we need to find a winner at the end of this first round, so let's play the second half called the 90-second Shootout. Here's how this second half of the round works... Each player will get 30 seconds to answer 9 questions correctly within the time limit. Each correct answer will earn you 5 seconds each. Get all 9 right, and you'll earn a 45-second bonus for a total of 90 seconds. Once all 3 players had their chance at the shootout, the first round is over, and the player who has the most amount of seconds in their Time Bank at the end of this round will instantly win $1000 in cash! Flash the cash, Tiffany! (Audience oohs) Now, to make things fair, the player with the lowest amount in their Time Bank goes first, and James, that's going to be you. These 3 question-mark blocks each represent a Set of Questions. Pick one now, James.
