Well, there were nine to men, seven to dwarves, three to elves, and one ring that deceived them all to Saurron, which

Not that founding father.

He wasn't that foundery, but he did a lot.

Question four? What are the two terms for curve lines and sheet music? Linking notes together in some way? You have your ties and slurs?

Ties cause notes to be held for both of those note lengths, and slurs are just playing notes connectedly in a legato style. Round two. Question five The category is transportation.

I hear it's really good. I haven't had the chance to see it. That is it for the first half. That means it's time for the Bang Bang Round. The category for this week's Bang Bang Round is Society and Culture. You will have thirty seconds to answer the following question. According to Catholic Philosophe, what are the seven capital virtues aka the seven lively virtues? Your time starts.

Now, and that's time. The seven capital virtues are chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. Those are in opposition to the seven deadly sins.

Which animated series was developed from two animated short films, both titled The Spirit of Christmas, released in nineteen ninety two and nineteen ninety five. Question eleven the category is tasty joystick. This question comes from listener Josh.

Thank you jos say Josh, this.

Is gonna be like a tasty lick where you combine a food in a band so For example, if I said this chocolate confection will have you living on a prayer, the answer would be Bond bon Jovi. But in the Tasty Joystick, we're combining a video game and a food. This beret wearing Maize runner escapes through grips of Inky Pinky Blinky en sou while feasting on power pellets and large tubal pasta stuff with cheese and baked with Marinara sauce.

That's great, Josh, and don't be salty about pac Man versus Miss pac Man, you know it's miss pac Man because the fourth ghost is Sue, whereas in pac Man the fourth ghost is Clyde Classic.

I mean, does the ghost have a little bereer no? Question twelve. Which city has the largest significant urban area in Australia? Melbourne. Significant urban areas represent an individual urban center or cluster of related urban centers with a core urban population of over ten thousand people.

Oh yeah, there's still a few games left in the season.

All right.

Back in the nineties you had Mark maguire and Samusosa vyeing for who could hit the most, and of course that was the steroid era, so it doesn't really there's asterisks, but I think Maguire ended up with seventy three with an asterisk. So cal Rally's got a little ways to go yet with just a few games left, but you know, yeah, it's still an impressive feed. They call him the big Dumper because he has a big butt. Question fifteen. In Chinese mythology, who is the Jade Emperor, the supreme Ruler

It'll be interesting to see if K Pop Demon Hunters breaks anymore records. It just keeps going crazy. That's it for the regular rounds, which means it's time for the Big Bang Round. The category for this week's Big Bang Round is Literature. We'll give you three clue questions, which are all hints to one final question. The clue questions may not fall under the same category.

I need to reread that what I think I've read it. That's why I need to reread it, because I'm not sure. I think it's one of those books I read in middle school, you know.

Oh I think I read a kid's version of it.

Yeah, probably what I wrote too.

Yeah, but Duma is a good writer. Like I really liked kind of Money, Cristo.

Yeah, that's excellent. I went through a classic book phase, you know, and they're like, who to read them? I'm a literary critic, David, and it's it's you know.

That was your criticism.

No, but that's that's my uh, that's.

Your game face for reading, for.

Reading these books. But then you then I was like, all right, I'm gonna read kind of Money Cristo because it's a classic, right, but it reads so modern and it's action packed and it's fun and it's it's great. So if anyone has been wanting to read some of the classics but is scared, well, you know, because some of them are like, Yep, you're gonna read better.

You're gonna know about feudalism, heat about agriculture, tools of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

I mean, I just read Ulysses and I would not tell anyone. Here's a fun read. Knock this out. Have this be your first book. But yeah, kanamunti Christo is so fun, so I need to read Three Musketeers.

Yeah, Planchet I believe is D'artagnan's servant. He's just he's one of those like clever servants, you know how they used to do. Anyway, thank you for listening.
