They're doing.

They're going to be hard to beat.

Let's talk about this challenge.

Yes.

What do you think is going on?

I'm not sure about the challenge itself, but in this quarter you have to challenge the coach does has the challenge right after the question?

Yes.

Because if not, it will go to the bonus and then that messes up the scoring.

So what he's going to do and it takes five minutes.

That's the max okay.

The coach has to go up to the judges present material.

He can't just go to the judges and say, this is what I think, or this is what I know that won't work, and the judges will review it.

And then within the five minute period of time, they will make a judgment and go back.

Okay.

I'm not sure this challenge will carry.

We just heard it's actually been withdrawn.

Oh, so you are correct, sir.

So I didn't see any or hear any.

Sure you know your stuff very well.

Well, no, no, thank you for your insight.

And with that, we'll go ahead and go right back to the quizmaster for more.

Thank you.

Thank you Christina.

Again.

The challenge has been withdrawn, so we'll go ahead and ask the bonus question.

We have Pulitzer Prize winners in fiction given a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and the year of the award provide the author of that work.

We have chemistry given a compound, provide its chemical formula.

For example, if given nitrous oxide, you would say into, oh, and presidential superlatives.

Given a superlative fact about a United States president, name the president.

And weigh in with that.

We'll give you a chance to discuss with your coaches, and we'll go to a break.

Welcome back.

It is time for the Lightning Round.

The teams have made their choices, so let's turn it over to our quizmaster for round three.

Thank you.

Christina.

Welcome back.

Arkadelphia was behind after the end of the first half, so they got to choose first in the lightning round, and they chose presidential superlatives.

And, Truman got to choose second, and they chose Pulitzer Prize winners in fiction.

So you'll have a minute, to discuss, talk about to get through these ten clues.

So it was McMurtry.

And 1973 the optimist daughter is Eudora Welty.

So that'll do it for the Lightning Round.

At the end of round three, we have Truman with 145, Arkadelphia with 105, and we'll check for challenges and substitutions.

And while we do that, let's toss it back over to Christina.
