The off screen narrator asks a series of multiple choice trivia questions to test the viewers’ knowledge of general and sometimes obscure facts. This test is scored out of 100 points, 10 apiece for the first seven questions, and 30 points for the more difficult eighth question. The viewer is given 10 or 15 seconds to answer each question depending on the complexity of the question. The 10 point questions are on the subjects of the Panama Canal, inhabitants of the south pole, U.S. collegiate football, clothing with a proper name as their common name, the location of a specific set of islands, and the name of an item and its proper pronunciation. The 30 point question asks of Lady Godiva and others like her. In the demonstration of this question, the narrator shows that there are always exceptions to the rule. |
