(calm music) (upbeat music) - Welcome to "Scholastic HI-Q", the game where knowledge rules.

I'm your host, Jordan Spudville, and today we are joined by two very good looking teams.

On the bottom row we have CISNE, with Rylee, Tisha, and Noah.

And on the top row we have Freeburg with Alison, Noah, and Camden.

Before we begin our game, let me go over the rules.

I'm gonna be reading a series of toss-up questions worth 10 points a piece.

If a team answers a toss-up correctly, they have the chance to answer a bonus for 20 points.

However, if that team answers the bonus incorrectly, the other team has a chance to steal it away from them, and earn themselves 10 points.

The interruption rule is in effect in today's game.

So if someone interrupts me while I'm reading a question, and they answer incorrectly, the other team will receive five points automatically, and they will get to hear the entire question.

As usual we'll be having our lightning round halfway through the game, where I'll be reading a series of questions in any given category that both teams will have a chance to answer as many as they possibly can in 60 seconds.

We know the rules.
