Have scientists been manipulating the data?

We need crisis management advice.

You say it.

It will sound true.

It is true.

What do they crave more than money?

Information.

I don't intend to run this team like she did.

The icon case is closed.

That's his game.

Game on and data.

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

And welcome back to the State Championships of Quiz Bowl.

We are currently in a timeout.

Do you know who called it?

And with the reason behind it, I believe it was East Jib there.

I believe both teams sub several players.

And you know, it's a chance to get, some kids that haven't been in this championship game a chance and also to get some screen time and and and get a chance to play and answer some questions on TV.

And we've talked about how this is so unique because no matter who wins here today in this match it's a new champion.

Yeah.

That's so exciting when you're seeing schools that may have been to the finals and never won.

And to see fresh faces, fresh teams come in, because that does fill the championship coffers.

And it's good for the for the overall health, of course.

Ball.

Absolutely.

Well the timeout has been taken and is complete.

So we're going to head back over to the quizmaster.

Alrighty.

So after a timeout we have a lot of new faces with us playing in here.

Many, many substitutes for both sides.

Okay.

So there Michael is in and here we have Joseph and Tyler and Jacob and Abby and Elizabeth who have all come in over here for Valley View.

So, we're going to start up on question number 16 to finish our quarter here.

So if everyone is ready, let's go ahead and start the rest of our questions.

Question 16, A namesake monster was used by Robert Nozick to argue against the school of thought, which has act and rule types in what ethical school does.

A philosophic calculus created by Jeremy Bentham determine the greatest happiness for the greatest number is Tim Jackson utilitarianism.

That is correct.

Adam has a 93 gallon tub.

What is the maximum amount of a full four gallon jugs that Bob can fill using this?

Using this tub.

Eastham, KY on 23.

That is correct.

18 this figure travels with her mother in law, Naomi to glean the fields with her valley view.

Elizabeth.

Ruth.

That's correct.

Number 19.

Like with cuz, this data structure can be manipulated using push and pop.

What last East Jackson.

West.

Now what I have What last in first out data structure when combined with the word overflow names Valley view Tyler stack stack is what I'm looking for and are.

Oh, we also have another time request, so.

Okay, so, we have one more time out, so.

Christina.

Oh, throw it back over to you.

All right.

Thank you very much.

And once again, we will take a short break, but we'll be right back after this.

That is utterly remarkable.

Wheels coming up.

Hold on.

This is huge.

Here we go.

The more whales you have, the healthier the ocean is.

Now the biggest land animals that have ever existed.

The most special thing is going somewhere that nobody ever has before.

It's perfect.

And welcome back to our final competition of the day.

And we are in the last round of the day.

Another timeout had just been taken.

This has been an exciting game and it has been very tight.

As of now, ESM is still in the lead and I believe with a timeout has been wrapped up and we can head back over to the quizmaster.

All right.

So during timeout Quinn has joined us for Valley View.

So welcome.

And we will start up on our last question of the day.

So question number 20.

So with that both teams here we go.

The Alawite dynasty holds power in this country which was previously ruled by the Omaha and Omaha dynasties.

Name this country home to many Berbers in its cities, such as Fez and East Robert, Turkey.

That's incorrect.

And Robert.

Valley view.

Joseph Mongolia is also in Morocco, so I am out of questions and pending any challenge requests, I see none.

I have a score of East at 330 and Valley View at 260.

That was an excellent game, but East Ham is going to be our five state champion for the first time, and Valley View is going to be our state runner up.

Congratulations both.

Team and let's throw this back to Christina.

Absolutely.

Congrats to both teams again.

And we will be right back after this.

But first, let's take a moment to meet some students.

We may very well see you here on this stage in a few years.

Here are the 2025 Quiz Bowl, junior high MVP's and high point players.

And welcome back.

I'm here with Josh Duggins, president of Arkansas Governors Quiz Bowl Association, and we have awards to give out.

You do?

Once again, another great game.

We have had so many good games today.

Proud of both of these teams.

So our runner up, for the five state title is going to be, Valley View.

Round of applause.

Once wanted.

And our, five state champions for this year, our is going to be, for the first time, East.

Let's hear it.

Congratulations to both teams.

They have a few more awards to give away.

Yes.

So, we have our MVP, from East, some high school.

I think we can guess it is Jackson Eubanks.

Wow.

Congratulations.

And we have a few other individuals here who also are on the all tournament, from Valley View, William crater.

From East, Traylor.

Robert Traylor.

And from valley view.

Caden Tran.

And there are many others in the state that also are all tournament.

I believe there's a graphic on the screen, with their names right now.

Honestly, congrats to everybody.

I was gonna say this is a huge accomplishment, a huge day.

So to all the competitors, all the coaches, all the organizers, volunteers, sponsors, and a huge thank you to everyone involved.

And one more round of applause for everybody that participated in this today.

Congratulations to all of you.

And we do have another announcement to make.

Is that correct?

Yes.

Come on over.

Is it Melinda coming in?

Sort of.

So let's go ahead and see what we have there.

Come on over and tell us what you got.

So while we're waiting, Carolyn, it, shrine is being brought over.

Carolyn, it is safe to say that we would not have a quiz bowl in the state of Arkansas without Carolyn.

She has been our executive director for the entirety of the 40 years that Quiz Bowl has been in existence in the state of Arkansas.

And we are so, so thankful to her.

We are so indebted to her for her leadership all of these years.

And, Carolyn is retiring, so this is her last big event.

We'll have all stars next week, but this is her her last event, with us.

And we just from from the board, from all of the coaches across the state, from, all of our former players, our current players.

We just really want to say thank you for everything that you have done to, promote Quiz Bowl, to keep it running, to go before the legislature in Arkansas to get us funding everything that that you have have done to to make this game go so and I'm going to hold these flowers because they're, they're a little heavy, but these are going home with you.

And then I believe Josh has an announcement as well.

Yes.

Oh.

So, with Carolyn leaving, we had, the state board had a very tough decision.

We had a lot of applicants.

And after, a lot of discussion, voting, interviews, etc., we ended up selecting a new state director to, try and fill these very, very big shoes that, Carolyn has left behind.

And so we ended up selecting, Mr. Paul Gray to take her in.

Congratulations.

A quick comment, big shoes to fill is a little bit of an understatement.

So, I'll do my best.

I'll do my best, but I'm so excited.

I can't wait to get started.

This is Quiz Bowl is.

I'm a nerd, passionate nerd about this.

I can't wait to get started.

Well, one final round of applause for everybody involved.

And thank you all so very much.

And that concludes our seventh and final match today crowning seven new state champions.

What an incredible way to mark our 40th anniversary of bringing you the Arkansas Quiz Bowl State Championships live on Arkansas PBS.
