their patience as we go through these challenges with our judges first challenge was on question 15. it was a math question we were having some trouble with one of the space bars on the buzz in computers they were using so one of our players wasn't allowed the same amount of time to buzz in for huntsville as monticello so our judges have decided to replace that question for both teams and

of the effects of rock that was hydro hydrology you put an extra syllable in there ben and the ratio of the weight of an object to an equal volume of water specific gravity specific gravity that is the end of round one unless we have any challenge or round two excuse me unless we have any challenges alan no challenges lucas no challenges yes we have a challenge all right huntsville does have a challenge and so we're going to take a short break while hencefield prepares their challenge and gives it to the judges well welcome back uh we had a short break while we had a potential challenge from one of our teams but they have withdrawn that challenge uh and there's different reasons i might do so so that particulars to the third round the lightning round which folks who have played quiz bowl for years here in arkansas know that typically we give you one minute to answer 10 questions but with covid we're doing things a little bit differently you're going to have five seconds to answer each question just like you would in the bonus round and there will be no bounce backs to the other team all right so let me tell you what the categories are and they will give you a minute on the clock to decide your category and it looks like monticello you're going to get to go first with the category and here are the choices you can make you might choose scientific studies when given the name of a scientific study identify the focus of that area of science all right you might choose assassinations and it says name the individual who assassinated or attempted to assassinate the following individuals or you might choose category three scientific inventions identify the individuals who invented or developed the following inventions teams you have one minute to [Music] decide so [Music] all right the teams have had a minute to make up their mind about the category and i believe that monticello is going to bring a sub in but before you you do or as you do lucas uh tell us what category you picked uh we have picked scientific studies we'll take scientific studies and uh alan which one would you like we would like scientific inventions uh not an all science category today all right all right and so all right so we're going to bring in a substitute for one of our monticello players and they're not going to sit down are they so lucas who have you brought in jc gibson replacing autumn smith j.c gibson all right very good uh lucas make sure you keep that you and alan both make sure you keep your microphones up so that we can hear your answers uh there are no bounce backs to the other teams so uh no need to worry about that being heard on the mic all right we're ready to begin our third round here for the 4a state championship very close game as we knew it would be 145 for huntsville and 120 for monticello and there is an advantage in being a little behind here lucas and the fact that you got to pick the first category and you chose scientific studies so i'm going to give you five seconds to answer each one of these but we need our answers quickly all right all right it says when given the name of a scientific study identify the focus of that area of science are you ready all right here we go anthropology uh the study of cultures uh yes herpetology the study of reptiles yes toxicology poisons and venoms yes ornithology birds yes entomology yes hydrology water yes paleontology fossils yes archaeology ancient civilizations yes seismology earthquakes yes volcanology volcanoes that's absolutely correct uh all 10 correct and in quiz bowl when you get all of the lightning round questions correct you get a 20-point bonus so congratulations 120 points for monticello now you have the opportunity alan to do the same thing with huntsville uh with scientific inventions all right all right it says to identify the individuals who invented or developed the following cyclotron lawrence yes miners safety lamp smith no liquid fuel rocket goddard yes mechanical reaper mccormick yes mercury thermometer fahrenheit yes printing press gutenberg yes steam engine defer to john i can't hear john trevor thick no wireless telegraph morse no x-ray rehearsal no and electric battery volt no the answer to that one is volta and then the um miners safety lamp is sir humphrey davey uh the steam engine is james watt uh the wireless telegraph was marconi and the x-ray is wilhelm wrentgen wrenching so at the end of round uh three and coaches you can confirm this with me uh monticello has taken the lead at 240 to huntsville's 195. coaches do we agree with that still score a challenge i'm sorry go ahead allen huntsville has a challenge all right huntsville has a challenge so we're going to take a moment and let huntsville uh prepare their challenge and then present it to our group of judges all right welcome back and we had another one of those situations where we had a challenge uh but it was withdrawn and so the next question then would be do you have any substitutions for this last round alan says no huntsville's going to keep what they've got monticello you're going to keep what you've got all right very good well if i we're not trying to putting anybody in or substituting then let's jump straight to the last round 200 points available to our team so this is anybody's game i'll remind you again that after each answer uh correct or incorrect i'm going to clear the buzzer system uh even though you may have buzzed in second or third or whatever i will clear and ask you to buzz in again all right okay well here's our
