Matt, you and me have the same past because I used to be a courtesy clerk for a major grocery/department store. Does it get crazy dealing with the public?

Not really.

Thank you. Well, I am currently studying to become an Administrative Professional. In case any of you don't know what I am talking about, basically it's an office secretary. Hopefully, this job will pay me well and I am looking forward to having a real fun time here.

Great to hear that, Chris. From what I heard from our contestant coordinator, you could from Canada. What part?

Post by chris2788 on Apr 2, 2014 7:23:27 GMT -5
I come from the province of Québec and supposedly, we're having an election here, and I know who I'm voting for (not saying whom). Good luck to my other competitors.

I understand, Chris. You don't want to make any enemies, especially in politics. Glad to have you here, as well, and I hope you win a lot of money.
Let's meet our third and last contestant, Leaf.
(APPLAUSE)
Leaf, tell us about yourself.

Fantastic, Leaf. Well, maybe I can eat in your restaurant if you decide to go that route. Thanks for being here.
When we come back, we'll play our game of Split Second after these messages.

Sorry for the wait, everybody. I have had some company come over and some sickness. Thanks for your patience.
Hello, and welcome back to SPLIT SECOND. Before we start our game, we have to know the rules, of course, and this is how we play:
I'm going to show all of you three parts to a trivia question on our board. Each of you will only be required to give me one answer in the first two rounds and each of you will buzz-in and the one who buzzed in first will have the first crack at the answer, then the second player, and then the third.
The amount of money you get for each correct answer is determined on how many of you give me a correct answer:
If all three of you give me a correct answer, then each of you will get $25 apiece; if only two of you give me a correct answer, then each of you will get $50 apiece. However, if you are the only one to give me a correct answer, then you will gets $100. Also, if you are the FIRST person to be the only one to give me a correct answer, we called that a SINGLETON, then, win or lose the main game, you'll win a nice prize. Tell them about that prize, Sandy.
It's a STEREO SYSTEM worth $650.
(APPLAUSE)
A very, very nice prize indeed. Now, also, in either the first or second round, we'll have a special question called a MEMORY BUSTER and I'll explain that when we get to it. Once again, I wish you all the best and here comes our first question:
Pick one of these groups of animals and tell me, TRUE or FALSE, are they also the name of a group of islands?
LEAF, you are first.
|
|
|
Post by LeafApollo on Apr 10, 2014 14:54:17 GMT -5
I'll pick CANARIES. I know for fact they are also a group of islands, so I'll say TRUE.
|
|
|
Post by johnnyb on Apr 10, 2014 18:44:53 GMT -5
CANARIES are an island. CHRIS, your guess?
|
|
|
Post by chris2788 on Apr 10, 2014 19:16:05 GMT -5
I'm going to say "Shetlands" are indeed an island and "true".
|
|
|
Post by johnnyb on Apr 10, 2014 22:33:00 GMT -5
SHETLANDS are a group of islands....MATT, your answer on TURTLES?
|
|
|
Post by mringgenberg on Apr 10, 2014 22:36:39 GMT -5
FALSE
|
|
|
Post by johnnyb on Apr 11, 2014 21:50:19 GMT -5
No, I'm sorry, MATT. There is a Turtle Island near Fiji. That means that CHRIS and LEAF are the ones who got it right and each get $50.
Here comes another question:
Pick one of these countries and tell me if they were NEUTRAL, on the AXIS side or on the ALLIED side during World War II?
LEAF, once again, you are up first.

Post by LeafApollo on Apr 12, 2014 6:49:39 GMT -5
I'm pretty sure BRAZIL was NEUTRAL...
|
|
|
Post by chris2788 on Apr 12, 2014 7:33:07 GMT -5
This one, I know... Ireland was a "Neutral".
|
|
|
Post by johnnyb on Apr 13, 2014 10:02:54 GMT -5
I'm sorry, LEAF, Brazil was not NEUTRAL.
CHRIS, you are correct, Ireland was NEUTRAL.
MATT, your answer?
