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).

The contestants face another round robin of questions, this time regarding four specific years. It's a great chance to practice those long, one-word numbers Italians use.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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