18:28What did you wager?
18:30No wager at all.
18:31So you stick with $2,000.
18:33Noah Hamilton was in second place with 8600.
18:36His response was, what is pontifex?
18:40That is correct.
18:42Pontus, the Latin for bridge.
18:43The pontiff or pontifex maximus is the pope.
18:46So you're going to add to your 8600.
18:48You'll add 1,390.
18:49So you now have $9,990.
18:53We'll see if that holds up.
