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

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").

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

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

Francescopaolo has to write down a word that links the five guillotine words together. Francescopaolo and his sister have different ideas about the word.

Francescopaolo is at the guillotine stage of the game. This means that for every wrong answer that he gives, his winnings are halved.

Carlo has a fun anecdote about Dante, the poet's love of eggs, and his prodigious memory. The winner is anointed and both contestants, Francescopaolo and Matteo, have a moment in the limelight.

Francescopaolo and Matteo have reached the part of the game known as the “duel.” They go head-to-head on an array of topics, including a cartoon series and Dante's favorite thing to eat.

St. Luke, Giulia Farnese, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Lionel Messi are among the subjects touched on in this segment.

Caterina, Francescopaolo, and Matteo are at the “bivio” [fork in the road] stage of the game and have a fifty-fifty chance of selecting the right answer. What makes it fun but hard is that many words have double or triple meanings.

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 in the final phase of the game. Will Francescopaolo have written the right word?

There's one contestant left, but the questions keep on coming.

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

Famous battles, movie roles, and 60s pop songs are some of the subject that the contestants get quizzed about.

Laura joins Carlo in questioning the contestants about animal traits in this elimination round.
