Once again, NELS is blocked from this question.  And, in this case, if either you or SERGIO gets this question right, it's the payoff point and the money. WATER SPORTS: What country has won the second most trophies in the America's Cup? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 16 Here are the results: MATTHEW first SERGIO second (BZZT) MATTHEW, your answer? |

No, but SERGIO, you were close....it was AUSTRALIA. That means we go to what we call a special CONTROL question. The one who gets this right will get no points but will get control of the category board. That also means that NELS is in for this question as well.  CONTROL QUESTION: The United States, Great Britain or France: What country issued the first postage stamp in 1840? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 76 Here are the results: SERGIO first NELS second MATTHEW third (BZZT) SERGIO, your answer? |

And, once again, NELS is blocked from this question and, also once again, if MATTHEW or SERGIO gets this right, it's payoff point and the money.

MICHAEL PHELPS is CORRECT and SERGIO has the payoff point and $400.  As we look at the scores, SERGIO is in the lead with 17 points, NELS is in second place with 14 and MATTHEW has 11 points. We'll be right back with round three where we will have six new categories....Stay tuned, everyone. |

The Rupee!

Post by johnnyb on May 3, 2019 11:55:50 GMT -5
THE RUPEE is CORRECT and SERGIO has got the payoff point, $325 more and that TRIP TO ALASKA. Congratulations.  (DING DING DING DING) That sound means that we are now going into our ten question SPRINT ROUND. The payoff point will now go up by ten which means that now it's going to be....  36. Each time you hit the payoff point, you get $100. Also, you get $25 per point for what you collect during the SPRINT ROUND. Most importantly, the two of you with the highest scores after it is over will go on to the FINAL SHOWDOWN. I wish you all the best. Also, our categories will not shuffle.  We now have FAMOUS PLACES, WORLD CITIES, GOLF, TV SOAP OPERAS, CURRENCY and VICE PRESIDENTS. SERGIO, since you gave the last correct answer, you pick first. |
