H = Host, E = Eddie, S = Sandra

H OK, Eddie, first question for 100 dollars. A whale can make a louder noise than a lion. True or false?

E A whale can make a louder noise than a lion. Uh, true.

H Correct. Blue whales can make a sound of up to 188 decibels, whereas a lion’s roar is never more than 114 decibels. Ro-a-rrrr. Now, for 200 dollars. World War I was shorter than World War II. True or false?

E Uh, I think it’s true.

H Correct. It’s true. World War I lasted four years, from 1914 to 1918, but World War II lasted six years, from 1939 to 1945. Next, for 400 dollars, the American movie industry is bigger than the Indian movie industry.

E I think it’s false. You know, Bollywood and all that is huge. I think it’s false.

H Correct. The Indian movie industry is much bigger than the American one. It produces about 1,000 movies every year, which is double what Hollywood produces. In fact, the US isn’t even the second country that makes the most movies, which is Nigeria. Next, for 800 dollars, in July, Seattle is hotter than Sydney. True or false?

E In July, Seattle is hotter than Sydney. Uh, true.

H Correct. The average temperature in July in Seattle is 75 degrees Fahrenheit, and in Sydney it’s 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Of course, Australia’s in the southern hemisphere, so it’s winter there. Next, for 1,600 dollars, silver is heavier than gold. True or false?

E Uh, true. No, uh, false.

H Do you want to call a friend?

E No, I think it’s false. I remember from science class at school. Gold is heavier than silver.

H Correct. Gold weighs about 10.16 ounces per cubic inch, and silver weighs only 5.53 ounces. That means that gold is almost twice as heavy as silver. OK, for 3,200 dollars, the mountain K2 is more difficult to climb than Mount Everest.

E Uh, true.

H Correct. Thirty percent of the people who try to climb K2 die, usually on the way down, whereas only five percent of the people who try to climb Everest die. OK, Eddie, now for 6,400 dollars, driving in Italy is more dangerous than driving in the US. True or false?

E Uh, I think that’s a trick question. We all think the Italians drive really fast, but maybe they’re good drivers. I think it’s false.

H Good job Eddie! It may be hard to believe, but in fact, out of every100,000 people, six people died because of car accidents in Italy, compared to approximately twelve in the US. And finally, the last
question. Be very careful, Eddie. If you get it right, you win 12,800 dollars, but if you get it wrong, you get nothing. Are you ready?

E Yes, ready.

H OK, for 12,800 dollars, it’s better to exercise in the morning than in the afternoon.

E Uh…uh…

H Quickly, Eddie, your time is almost up.

E I think it’s false, but I’m not sure. I want to call a friend.

H OK, Eddie. So, who do you want to call?

E Sandra.

H Is she your girlfriend?

E Yes, she is.

H OK then. Hello, is this Sandra?

S Yes, it is.

H I’m calling from Quiz Night. Eddie needs some help. You have thirty seconds, Eddie. Here she is.

E Hi. Sandra?

S Yes.

E Listen. It’s the last question. It’s better to exercise in the morning than in the afternoon. True or false? I think it’s false.

S Uh, I think it’s true. I always see people running in the park in the morning…

E Google it. Quickly. On your phone.

S What do I put in?

E That sentence and see what comes up! “It’s better to do exercise in the morning than in the afternoon.” Come on!

S Yes, I’m writing it. Oh sorry, I just got a message.

E Hurry up, Sandra!

H Time’s up, I’m afraid. OK, Eddie. So, true or false?

E Uh. True.

H Final answer?

E Final answer. True.

H I’m sorry, Eddie, it’s false. It’s better to exercise in the afternoon, between 4:00 and 5:00. Eddie, you had 6,400 dollars, but now you go home with…nothing.

E Why did I call Sandra? Why didn’t I call my friend Dave?

H = Host, E = Eddie

H Good evening. Welcome to Quiz Night. Our first contestant is Eddie from Washington, D.C. Hi, Eddie. Are you nervous?

E No, not really. I think I’m, uh, ready.

H Well, let’s hope so. The rules are the same as always. I’m going to read you some sentences, and you have ten seconds to say if the sentence is true or false. If you get the first answer right, you win one hundred dollars. Then for each correct answer, you double your money, so if you get the second answer right, you win two hundred dollars, and for the third correct answer, you win four hundred dollars. For eight correct answers, you win twelve thousand eight hundred dollars. But if you get an answer wrong, you lose all the money. Remember, you can also call a friend, so if you’re not sure about one of the answers, you can call your friend
to help you. Is that OK, Eddie?

E Yeah, OK.
