Carlo introduces us to his teacher assistants, and as its Christmastime, they're wearing Santa-inspired costumes. Alessandra and Massimiliano are the two contestants.

Carlo asks Massimiliano to name the stars for a list of films and Francesco, a new contestant, is introduced.

Carlo provides Francesco with the names of tools and Francesco has to supply the name of the profession where the tool is used. Lara gets the same question format, but has to answer whether celebrities are over or under 1.7 meters (about 5'-6").

Valerio is the new contestant. Carlo provides him with a list of countries and he has to reply whether they're republics or monarchies.

Rossella, a new contestant, is presented with list of animals and she has to respond whether they're carnivores or herbivores.

Alessandra is quizzed on the multiplication tables and gets mighty close to winning. A round of true or false questions follows Alessandra's pairings.

Carlo provides the contestants with a set of four dates and they have to link important events to the dates. Carlo spends a fair bit of time making funny sounds.

Carlo asks the contestants to match events to a series of dates and some fun facts emerge.

Contestants are asked about the many uses of dental rinse or mouthwash.

In this segment we learn about even more things to do with ordinary mouthwash.

We're at the bivio or crossroads part of the game, and some contestants are either very close to being eliminated or are indeed eliminated. There's always something new to learn on this quiz show.

Contestants are quizzed on the latest Korean plastic surgery trend and on a Christmas legend.

Carlo quizzes the remaining contestants on geography, beverages, music, and a word in the dictionary compiled by the famous Crusca Academy in Florence.

Lara is the finalist and this is the "guillotine" part of the game. The last time she was with Carlo is when she was in the running for Miss Italy.

Lara gets a chance to explain why she chose the word she chose and how she connected the five words given to her.
