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.”

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
