Today's big question revolves around TV personalities and how they got their start in the business. Caterina gets the jolt, like a gong, on that line of questioning. Later, Ilaria draws a blank on Giacomo Leopardi's poem, “The Lonely Sparrow.”

The contestants are having major problems with historical chronology, and Carlo Conti is frankly a bit shocked.

Contestants give true or false answers to questions that are all over the board, and sometimes amusing.

Nicola is unsure on several pairings, but Francesco Paolo knows his stuff.

Caterina is quizzed on the subjunctive and a new contestant, Nicola, is introduced.

Carlo presents Tiziana with a list of animals and she has to decide whether they have hooves or not. Caterina, a freelance art professional from the Veneto, enters the game.

Carlo presents Matteo with a list of countries and asks him whether they're situated in the Atlantic or the Pacific.

Ilaria and Matteo are the new contestants. Ilaria is quizzed on a list of Italian male celebrities and has to decide whether they're actors or singers.

Francescopaolo is back in the game. He makes an usual request to Carlo. His new challenger is Ilaria, who Carlo introduces to the audience.

We're down to two contestants: Agnese and Francescopaolo. Carlo's seven questions are pretty tough and involve international material.

Carlo quizzes all the contestants on such varied topics as the existence of a Renaissance-era ostrich egg globe and the healthiness of ricin (it's deadly).

In this segment, there are "true or false" questions. Aside from the answers themselves, there are explanations of some true statements that are quite fascinating.

Agnese, the contestant from Rome, is quizzed on a list of soccer players and she has to respond whether they're ex-players or current players. A new contestant, Antonella, responds to a list of words, saying if they're adverbs or adjectives.

Claudio is given a list of Italian places and has to say whether they're in the north or the south of Italy.

This is a great chance to practice bone and muscle vocabulary, since that's what the pairing is about in this episode. The first contestant is named Santo. "Santo" means "saint," so there's some joking about it being just his name, not a description. Carlo, contestant number two is a musician and works in music therapy. He sings a few phrases of an aria from the Puccini opera Tosca.
