Thank you so much.

And now we're going to cut away briefly to do a bit of quiz bowl housekeeping.

But don't go anywhere.

We'll be right back after this.

This month in passport on the PBS app, members looking at the flames and thinking, which is my motto, we are the last ones you want to hear.

Here it is.

I keep myself always busy, and this helps me not to think about what I went through.

Jews did not go to their death as sheep to the slaughter.

They fought back.

These and other shows from Arkansas PBS are available with passport on the PBS app.

And we are back.

Looks like there were no challenges.

So Haws Hall, Springdale is in the lead as of right now, but there's a lot of match to play, so let's get back over to the quizmaster for round two.

All right.

Thank you.

Christina.

During the break, there were no challenges or substitutions for either team.

So we will start our second quarter, which are toss ups for four part bonuses.

Answers for the bonuses will come from captain.

So just to make sure our captain for hostile Springdale is going to be Atticus, and our captain for morale is going to be Alex.

All right, so, with that, let us start round two.

Round two.

All right.

Toss ups for both sides.

Question number one.

This country was home to a painter who captured the power of industrialism in works like rain, steam and Speed.

He was considered a rival of another painter for the same country, known for idyllic rule scenes such as The Hay Wain, named this country home to both J.M.W.

Turner and John Constable.

I'm real, Brayden England.

I can accept that.

Your bonus will be about the skull answer.

All right, Alex, with me.

Here we go.

Number one, this American often depicted cow skulls during her time in New Mexico.

Not the one.

Number three.

This French artist depicted a namesake pyramid of skulls in one of his many still life paintings, Monet, not Monet and Number Four.

This artistic trope heavily features skulls.

Its name translates as remember you must die.

Memento mori.

Memento mori.

That is correct.

So the two that you missed, the Holland's Hans Holbein the Younger was the ambassadors, and pulsates on dead pyramid of skulls.

All right, so toss up for both sides.

Next question.

Almost to Italy drew heavy inspiration from European versions of these things when writing the poem Wine Drinker and My Life in the Bush name this kind of work, collected by Andrew Lang, whose many famous examples were written by the Brothers Grimm Hall, Springdale.

Atticus fairy tales, yes, your bonus category will be fundamental states of matter.

There are four fundamental states of matter that exists in our universe.

Answer the following questions about how these states change.

All right, here we go.

Water turns into this greenhouse gas through evaporation or a namesake process, and can be used as steam to produce energy.

Water vapor.

Yes.

Number two, water in its pure form and at standard pressure, boils at this temperature and rise up to 100°C as correct number three.

This compound can only exist in only solid or gas phases as standard atmospheric pressure.

Dry ice is made up of this compound carbon dioxide as correct, and our number four dry ice undergoes this process to create fog.

In fog machines, where solids directly turn into gas sublimation.

Sublimation.

All four nicely done.

Toss up for both teams, these reactions may occur above a compound flash point.

An incomplete form of this reaction produces carbon monoxide and what reaction to a hostile Springdale Trent combustion.

It is a combustion reaction.

Very nice.

And your bonus is going to be about palindromes.

Answer the following about palindromes, which are read the same backwards and forwards.

All right, number one, what is the smallest two digit palindrome?

That 11 is 11.

Number two how many two digit palindromes are there?

Nine.

There are nine.

So this one is a math computation.

So you will have 20s for this one.

What is the smallest multiple of 121?

That is not a palindrome.

628.

That's incorrect.

And our fourth one is also a math computation.

So you will have 20s for this one.

How many odd five digit palindromes are there?

The answer 100 has incorrect.

605 is the smallest multiple of 121.

That's not a palindrome.

And there are 500 odd five digit palindromes.

All right.

Of a toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

This scientist's first job was at Switzerland's patent office.

After graduating from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, he was offered the chance to become president of Israel.

And I am Rael Braden, Albert Einstein.

It is Albert Einstein.

And your category is going to be about Roman infrastructure.

Answer the following questions about Roman infrastructure.

Our first question ports, like the one in Ostia, was the first destination of exotic animals killed by these people.

People with this profession were usually slaves trained to fight for public entertainment.

It lends its name to a modern word for entertainment troops, the Colosseum, as incorrect, and our number for the Colosseum began construction under the Emperor of Fashion, who was the first emperor from this dynasty.

This dynasty succeeded the Giulio, Giulio, Claudia and dynasty Vespasian.

This Boucher.

That's also incorrect.

The chariot racing stadium was the Circus Maximus and the Flavian dynasty was the one that the followed after all the emperors that we tend to know.

So at the end of our quarter, pending challenges or anything like that, we have hostile Springdale at 190, armor at 80.

All right.

So let's talk a, let's talk about some categories.

Right.

So, pending challenges, we may have to deal with that, but here are our categories.

As we meet challenges okay.

So our lightning round categories.

And so it begins when given the first line of a work of fiction, give the title of the work you could also do where everybody knows your name given a scientific quantity.

Give the scientist the C unit measuring the quantity was named after the scientist or and this is how it ends.

Based on the description provided.

Answer these questions about countries that broke away from or attempted to leave other countries.

Okay, so while we figure all that out, we will throw it back to Christina.

And they chose where everyone knows your name.

So we'll be talking about scientists who are named for scientific units and how Springdale has chosen.

All right, so, Alex, are you ready?

Yes.

All right, so with that, let's begin.

That was Atlas Shrugged a little.

All right, so.

All right, so that will do it for the lightning Round.

Currently we have Springdale at 240, our Morrell at 110.

We're going to check for challenges and do some substitutions.

And while we do that let's throw it back to Christina.
