Thank you a great match going on.

So 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 with more after this.

No cameras, no witnesses.

Oh that's convenient from the beginning that welcome hopping night.

Yeah I him in challenging awkward does everything I trust my team.

Oh heavens above.

You ain't seen nothing.

Yeah, yeah.

It's perfect.

And welcome back to the state Quiz Bowl Championships.

Looks like there were no challenges and no substitutions.

So that means we get to just continue.

Right on.

Let's go back over to the quizmaster for round two.

All righty.

During our break, we did not have any challenges.

And we also did not have any substitutions.

So it's our same players from quarter one.

Round two is our bonus category round where we have toss ups leading to four part bonuses.

Those bonuses must be answered by the captains.

So I saw Rogers.

Kate is going to be our captain, and for Hazen, it's going to be Michael.

So, And with all that out of the way, let's go ahead and start round two.

Round two.

All right.

So a first toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

This state contains the Dibble house.

Hazen Michael Colorado.

That's incorrect which inspired the house in the painting American Gothic by native son Grant wood.

In what state is 600 pounds of butter use annually to sculpt a cow at the state fair in its capital, Des Moines house Hall.

Iowa is correct, and for knowing about 600 pounds of butter, you have earned a bonus on Impressionism, right?

So answer these four questions about the art movement.

Impressionism.

Here we go.

Number one, Impressionism gets its name from the painting Impressionist Sunrise, a work by this artist who also painted a series of water lilies.

Monet.

Yes.

Number two.

This impressionist artist who created works such as Two Sisters and Dance at All, depicted a scene at the Mason for Ney's restaurant in the painting luncheon of the Boating Party.

Manet not Manek.

Sorry.

Number three.

This American Impressionists use mothers and their children as subjects in her paintings The Child's Bath and the Boating Party.

Cleaning lady with the people.

Good guess not what I have written down.

I'm sorry.

And number four.

This impressionist painting is split by a green lamp post in the middle of the canvas.

This Gustav Callebaut painting depicts men and women with umbrellas in the plaster.

Dublin.

The Nighthawks not what I have.

All right, so, luncheon of the boating party is pier.

When war, the child's bath and the boating party is Mary Cassatt, the American Impressionist.

And the last one with the depiction with the green lamp post is Paris Street.

Rainy day.

All right, so we will go to toss ups for both teams.

Here we go.

This playwright depicted a flat Leonean who sells sausages made of dog meat in the nights.

And another work by this author, Dionysus Hazen Michael Aristophanes.

That is correct.

And for knowing that your category is going to be, answer the following questions about Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza.

And our fourth one, this French post-structuralist, praised Spinoza's thinking as practical philosophy.

He also co-wrote Capitalism in Schizophrenia with Felix Guattari.

Here's Wittgenstein that's incorrect.

It's Jules Deleuze.

All right, so we'll have a toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

What equation relates a rate constant to the exponential of the quotient of negative activation energy?

Hasan, Michael.

The Nernst equation.

Incorrect of negative activation energy in the universal gas constant times temperature.

Looking for Arrhenius Arrhenius equation.

So new toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

Sorry.

Government and Petru Groza.

First.

This country's last king Michael, the first to abdicate the Securitate.

Was this all following a Christmas Day revolution that deposed the last communist leader of this country, Nicolae Ceausescu.

What country has its capital at Bucharest?

Hasan Michael?

Romania.

That is correct.

Your bonus category is going to be a math computation.

So 20s for each of these, you're going to answer the questions about shapes and the fraction two thirds.

So here we go.

Question number one.

What is the perimeter of an equilateral triangle whose side length is two thirds.

Two two is correct.

Number two what is the area of a circle whose radius is two thirds?

16 pi over three.

That's incorrect.

Number three.

What is the surface area of a cube whose side length is two thirds?

Please give your answer as a fraction.

24/3.

Not what I have.

And number four.

What is the volume of a sphere whose radius is two thirds?

Again, please give your answer as a fraction.

256 Pi over three.

Now what I have.

All right.

So the area is a circle whose radius is two thirds.

I have four pi over nine.

For the surface area of a cube, I have eight over three.

And for the volume of a sphere whose raises two thirds, I have 32 pi over 81.

Okay, so we'll get away from that.

Math questions and we'll move to another toss up for both teams.

Here we go.

This team's only NBA title came in 2011, when they defeated the Miami Heat in six game.

Hazen Michael San Antonio Spurs.

That's incorrect in six games.

Fans of this team have recently expressed anger at general manager Nico Harrison.

What dream?

What team traded Luka Doncic in the loss to the Los Angeles Lakers?

Hostile Rodgers Kate Francisco 49 ers I'm sorry is the Dallas Mavericks all right.

Unfortunately we are going back to another math computation question.

Or fortunately if you enjoy the math computation questions.

All right here we go.

If Jack flips a coin five times, what is the probability of getting exactly two tails?

Hazen, Michael one sixteenths.

Now what?

I have Haas Hall.

Rodgers one 2/5.

Say again.

2/5.

I'm sorry.

It's 5/16.

All right, all right.

We'll try another toss up for that last bonus category.

The word power Shaw colloquially refers to a weekly reading of this text.

This result and Teflon contain verses from this text written in sapphire scrolls.

Haha.

Rodgers, Kate.

The Torah Torah is correct.

So we finally do get to that last bonus category.

Answer the following about the Ming Dynasty Ming.

All right, so number one, the Ming dynasty took power in this East Asian country in the 14th century.

Later rulers of it have include Mao Zedong, China.

Yes.

Number two.

Yes.

Pass.

All right.

Number three.

The Ming dynasty succeeded the yuan, which fell due to a rebellion named for Red.

Examples of these specific items.

An earlier peasant rebellion named for yellow.

Examples of these items were instrumental in the fall of the Han dynasty and faces no.

And our last one, this British author wrote 1421 The Year China Discovered the World, which claims Ming era explorers reached the Americas prior to Christopher Columbus.

I'll listen where it's a good guess, but not correct.

So the Muslim explorer, a couple of different pronunciations, but the most common one is Zheng He, the Ming dynasty that succeeded the yuan and had the rebellions were all about red and yellow turbans.

And the British author that wrote 1421 that you're trying to discover the world is Gavin Menzies.

Right.

So before we move to our lightning round topics, going to do a very brief check for any challenges.

All right.

So seeing that we have no challenges we're going to kind of start our preparation for our lightning rounds.

So we have a current score of Saul Rogers at 110.

Hazen at 150.

This is a relatively close game.

Lots of points can happen in Lightning Round.

So Hassan Rogers, you're going to have first choice of the following three categories.

Your first one could be if you think your chores are bad.

And so the following about the labors of Hercules or what's your sign?

Given the year, I give the English translation of each of the following constellation names or picture this answer the following about photography.

So while we make our decisions, we're going to throw it back to Christina.

Some fun categories to be decide between there.

So while the team strategize and think about which ones they want to do, we're going to take a short break.

But stay with us.

We'll be right back.

This month in passport on the PBS app, there is no power greater than that of the people.

It's time for the Lightning Round.

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

All righty.

During our break, our teams have chosen our lightning rounds.

Haha.

Roger Rogers has chosen to play with our constellations in the What's Your Sign category?

And Hazen is going to look at their chores with the labors of Heracles and our lightning round.

So, we had a few substitution, I believe.

One substitution.

Yes.

Who came in at Addison?

Came in?

Yes.

And we had no substitutions for Hazen.

So, so 60s for ten items.

All of our answers have to come from our captains.

Captains?

Still, Kate and Michael.

So with all that information out of the way, we can go ahead and start round three.

Round three.

All right.

Are you ready to go?

Yep.

All righty.

So category is going to be what's your sign.

Give the English translation of each of the following constellation names.

Here we go.

Aries Ram.

Cetus.

Ursa minor.

Bear.

Little bear.

Auriga.

Pass.

Okay, that was number ten.

That was the only one that you were unable to answer correctly.

So we're going to pass over number ten over to Hoss Hole Rogers.

Hey.

So, Kate, here we go.

Wife of Heracles, who he killed in a fit of madness, causing him to atone via his labors.

What?

What did you say?
