13:25Okay, so
13:26they're all
13:27in the area
13:28where the country
13:29was founded,
13:30but Delaware
13:31goes by the first state.
13:32I'm assuming
13:33it's because

29:27for a chance to move on
29:28and play for $20,000
29:30right here on Trivial Pursuit.
29:44Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
29:47Ashton and Noam have made it here
29:49to the next round,
29:51so let's get to know them
29:52a little bit better, shall we?
29:53Ashton, what exactly does an archivist do?
29:57So what I do is I work in politics
29:59and public policy.
30:00What we do is we take in the papers
30:02of elected officials, activists,
30:04those involved in the political world
30:06and make it easier for historians,
30:09political scientists, scholars, and students
30:11to do their research
30:12and to really facilitate
30:14the next revision of history.
30:17All for the historical record.
30:18That's right.
30:19Noam, you have two children,
30:21a boy and a girl?
30:23I do.
30:23I have a boy named Zeb.
30:26He's the one who's obsessed with Dolly Parton,
30:27which is ironic because his sister
30:29is named Dolly.
30:30So we have a Dolly Parton poster
30:32up in their room,
30:33which really works for both of them.
30:35Well, gentlemen,
30:36the best of luck to both of you.
30:37Let's get back to the game.
30:39In this round,
30:40you're going to be answering
30:41multiple choice questions,
30:42working your way through the categories
30:44once again.
30:45But this time,
30:46each correct answer
30:47is worth an escalating value
30:49from 200 to 1,000 points.
30:52And you both selected
30:54the order of the categories
30:55that you'll be playing
30:56and you've picked one category
30:58that you don't want to play at all.
31:00And I see, Ashton,
31:01you've elected
31:02not to play entertainment.
31:04And for your 1,000-point question,
31:07you've chosen
31:08the category of geography.
31:10What's going on
31:10behind that thinking?
31:12My awareness of pop culture
31:14is not what it once was.
31:16So I figured,
31:18I'll probably play it safe
31:19in this round
31:19and just go ahead
31:21and skip that.
31:21And Noam,
31:22I see that you have opted
31:23to skip science and nature
31:25and once again
31:27chosen history
31:28as your 1,000-point category.
31:31Why is that?
31:32I've always been
31:33a history nerd.
31:34My bar mitzvah gift
31:35was a tour
31:36of Civil War battlefields.
31:38Exactly what every
31:3913-year-old boy wants.
31:40And history is my jam.
31:41All right.
31:42Well, whichever one of you
31:43has the most points
31:44at the end of this round
31:45will be moving on
31:47to the final pursuit
31:48to play for $20,000.
31:51So let the pursuit begin.
31:56Noam, you are trailing Ashton
31:58by 500 points,
31:59so you will be going first
32:01for 200 points
32:03in geography.
32:06First opened in 1883,
32:09German-born engineer
32:10John A. Roebling
32:12designed which
32:13New York City landmark?
32:14Is it the Brooklyn Bridge,
32:16Central Park,
32:17or Grand Central Terminal?
32:20I think I know this
32:22because I'm a nerd
32:24who watches
32:25a lot of documentaries.
32:27So I'm going to go
32:28with Brooklyn Bridge,
32:29lock it in.
32:31Noam, let's see
32:33if you're ready.
32:35Who says TV
32:36isn't education,
32:37right?
32:38You are, sir.
32:39Ashton, for 200 points,
32:41here is your multiple-choice
32:43question in science and nature.
32:45The last 11,700 years,
32:48including the present,
32:49are defined
32:50by which geologic epoch?
32:53The Holocene,
32:55the Miocene,
32:56the Pleistocene?
32:59Well, LeVar,
33:01it's...
33:01Questions like this
33:03makes me wish
33:04I had taken
33:04entertainment first.
33:07I will say
33:09only one of those
33:10looks familiar to me,
33:12which is
33:12the Pleistocene era.
33:15So I will say
33:16the Pleistocene era,
33:17lock it in.
33:19Ashton, let's see
33:20if you're right.
33:22Oh.
33:23It was the Holocene
33:24we were looking for.
33:26Noam,
33:27an opportunity for you, sir.
33:29Here is your
33:30400-point question,
33:32the category of
33:34entertainment.
33:36The 1978 movie,
33:38Grease,
33:38is set in which
33:40fictitious high school?
33:41Is that Jefferson,
33:43Rydell,
33:44or Schirmer?
33:47Um,
33:47I'm not sure
33:49of this one,
33:50uh,
33:51but I know
33:51I watched Grease
33:52as a kid,
33:53and the only
33:54one on that board
33:56that seems
33:57somewhat
33:57familiar to me
33:59is Rydell.
34:01Hi.
34:01So,
34:02let's...
34:03let's go with it.
34:04Rydell,
34:05lock it in.
34:07Noam,
34:08let's see
34:09if you're right.
34:13Correct, sir.
34:15Ashton,
34:15here is your
34:16400-point question,
34:19the category
34:19art and literature.
34:22What is the name
34:23of the town
34:24in Ernest Thayer's
34:25classic poem,
34:27Casey at the Bat?
34:28Is that town
34:29Mudville,
34:31Rocktown,
34:32or Slab City?
34:33So this is a poem
34:35that my daughter
34:37used to...
34:38she would go to sleep
34:39and we would
34:40listen to poems
34:41being recited,
34:42and it's, uh,
34:44there was no joy
34:45in Mudville
34:46for the mighty Casey
34:47has struck out.
34:48Mudville,
34:49lock it in.
34:51Ashton,
34:52you seem to know it.
