*Introductory theme tune*

Atta girl! That's right, girl! Get it, girl! Sorry, girl.

Rules of the quiz:
- One answer per person (per round)
- Always give the answer you think the fewest amount of people would know
- If two people give the same answer in a short space of time, the first person's answer will be accepted (but the second can answer again)
- When applicable, a player may pick the same subject as another contestant and provide a different answer if they believe the other to be incorrect
- If you play the first round, please check back in case you make it through to Round #2
- Resist cheating (i.e. looking up answers; asking others)

And of course, respect your fellow contestants and have fun!

Round #1 will be posted shortly and will remain open until Monday (or, when applicable, until each answer is taken) to give everyone a chance of replying.

ROUND #2

Your category for Round #2 is...

TRIVIA

And our round two question concerns...

PALINDROMIC ANSWERS

I'm going to show you twelve clues. The 100 people were asked to give the answers to those clues. The answers are all palindromes – in case you've forgotten, that's a word that can be read the same way forwards as backwards. For example, boob.

Give me the most obscure answer and you'll be in our Head-to-Head. Good luck!

I will point out that on average this is a high-scoring round, so don't worry too much if you think the ones you know all seem obvious... They likely are.

ROUND #2 RESULTS

Sorry, Sarah.

Sarah: 90 (ELLE)
Anthony: 86 (ABBA)
Kaleb: 81 (HANNAH)
Jeremy: 64 (NOON)
Scott: 36 (AMA)


Sierra: 32 (KAYAK)
Bruna: 30 (RADAR)

Those few seconds made all the difference. Congrats, Sierra and B! Tough luck to the rest of you. You came close, Scott...and I think it was a tough round in terms of knowing which of them would be the most obscure.

Out of the five remaining answers, the best is MODERN COUNTRY TOWN, which is NAVAN. I don't know it and apparently neither did the 100, because it was a pointless answer.

The TWO CROTCHETS were the second lowest-scoring - MINIM scored 23 points.

The show was JUDGE JOHN DEED (*shrug*). That scored 51 points.

BOB HOPE scored 60 and the widow YOKO ONO scored 75.

Aw. I've always felt like Lithuania was the least known of the Baltic countries, but apparently not to the people they asked.

I know a surprising amount of Madonna facts.

Well done, B and Sierra!

Interesting that you guys call it crotchet and minim while we just call it quarter note and half note. Makes us seem boring.
