00:00Hello, everybody. Welcome to a brand new week on House of Games. Four famous faces battled it out for one appalling trophy.
00:17Listen, I'm not saying it's textbook House of Games this week, but we have a rugby player, a pop star, a crime writer and a stand-up comedian.
00:24I mean, sounds about right, doesn't it? Shall we meet them? They are Martin Afaya.
00:30Rebecca Lucy-Taylor, Val McDermott and Charlie Baker.
00:36Hi, everyone.
00:37This is like a good line-up, Martin. I think you picked a bad week.
00:40Look, looks like some good quizzers there, doesn't it?
00:42I'm thinking that I wished I watched more movies and read more books. It was too late.
00:46Are you a good quizzer? You're competitive, of course.
00:48I'm competitive at things I think I can win at.
00:51Uh-oh.
00:53But you're the only person here with a statue, I think.
00:55Yes.
00:56So, come on. Rebecca, you'll have a statue one day, I'm sure.
00:59You used to say to me, when will I be famous enough to be on House of Games?
01:02I said, when you got nominated for a Brit.
01:04Yeah.
01:04And now you are. Self-esteem we know you better as.
01:07Are you happy that you've now been nominated for a Brit and are on House of Games?
01:10Yeah, it's more about this. It's more about getting on.
01:13Well, that's the point, isn't it, of winning awards, is it means you can get on House of Games.
01:17Exactly.
01:17That's the only reason to be famous. Are you a good quizzer, Rebecca?
01:21No.
01:21Yes.
01:22Perfect. That's good news, Martin, isn't it?
01:24That's one down.
01:26Talking of good quizzes.
01:29Oh, no.
01:3017 million books worldwide, Val McDermott.
01:33Last time we were in a quiz situation, you were asking the questions at the Harrogate Crime Festival.
01:37How do you like it this way around?
01:39I liked it better when I knew the answers.
01:40Yeah, it's more fun, isn't it?
01:42Are you confident?
01:43I wouldn't say confident, no.
01:45That means yes.
01:47What?
01:47That means yes, doesn't it?
01:48No, it doesn't.
01:49Oh, she's good, Val.
01:50I'm deeply into it, eh?
01:51Yeah, yeah.
01:52That's right.
01:52Get them all set to going up on me already.
01:55Charlie.
01:56Hello.
01:56Welcome, welcome.
01:57How lovely to have you here.
01:59Listen, we know that stand-ups always win this show.
02:01Always, always, always.
02:03We might as well just stop it now.
02:05You're a good quizzer, Charlie.
02:07I like a quiz.
02:08Yeah.
02:08I'm not necessarily a good quizzer, but I'm enthusiastic.
02:11Oh, an enthusiastic quizzer.
02:13I feel like everyone's going to be enthusiastic this week.
02:16Someone's winning the trophy at the end of the week, but there are daily prizes as well.
02:19Shall we take a look at today's prizes?
02:21Whoever wins on Monday's House of Games gets to take one of these home.
02:24Wow.
02:24There is the driving gloves, pet food bowls, the toolkit, the dubious alcohol, and the fondue set.
02:32What do you think you'd like to take back with you?
02:34I'm going to say the toolbox.
02:35Val, what would you go for?
02:36Well, I think I'd probably have to go for the fondue set because I have an unfortunate affliction
02:41that I can make any amount of cheese disappear.
02:44Oh, lovely.
02:45Perfect.
02:46Cheese and chocolate.
02:47Fondue set for Val.
02:48Now, Rebecca.
02:48It's going to be the wine, isn't it?
02:50Well, yes, I think so.
02:51I mean, it's not strictly speaking.
02:53Legally, we can't call it wine.
02:54Oh, sorry.
02:55But it's certainly got alcohol content in it somewhere.
02:57But it's made in Tajikistan.
03:00It's terrific, I hear.
03:01Martin?
03:02I think I'll go for the pet food bowls.
03:04Pet food bowls.
03:05Do you have pets?
03:06A cat, yeah.
03:07Okay, there's a few.
03:09Imagine if he said no.
03:10Shall we get on and play a series of rounds until we give away a trophy to Val?
03:16No, that's it.
03:17I'm joking.
03:18I'm joking.
03:19This is a shame.
03:20I'm joking.
03:20Who knows?
03:21I've underestimated.
03:21Many a true word is said in jest.
03:23Yeah.
03:23Shall we get on?
03:24Every time I press this buzzer, a new round comes up.
03:25I never know what it's going to be.
03:27You never know what it's going to be.
03:28Let's find out our first one.
03:29It is...
03:30Rhyme time.
03:33Our traditional palate cleanser.
03:35Fingers on buzzers, please, everyone.
03:36I'm going to ask you two questions at a time.
03:38The answers rhyme with each other.
03:40Rebecca, you look so nervous.
03:41I'm not nervous.
03:42I'm just laughing at how bad I'm going to be.
03:44Okay, good.
03:44That's perfect.
03:45That, I don't mind.
03:46Nerves, less so, but that's absolutely fine.
03:48I know, very chill.
03:48Here are your first two.
03:52Son of Marge and Homer Simpson.
03:54And organ that the Tin Man asks for in The Wizard of Oz.
04:02Val.
04:02Bart and Hart.
04:04Bart and Hart.
04:05Well played, Val.
04:06Absolutely right.
04:07Bart and Hart.
04:09Next two.
04:11Distance that Usain Bolt ran in a record 19.19 seconds.
04:16And who is this?
04:20Yes, Rebecca.
04:21100 metres Andy Peters.
04:22It's not Rebecca.
04:23I'm so sorry.
04:25Charlie.
04:26200 metres Andy Peters.
04:28200 metres Andy Peters.
04:28Look at me celebrating.
04:30I'm going to style it out.
04:33There we go.
04:33200 metres Andy Peters.
04:35200 metres.
04:36Sorry, Rebecca.

04:52Martin.

04:54Villa.
04:55I think we've got a buzzer race on our hands if you don't get the second bit.
04:58Villa.
05:00Gorilla.
05:01No.
05:02Sorry, Martin.
05:03Buzzer race.
05:04Charlie.
05:05Aston Villa, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
05:08Aston Villa, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.
05:10Well done.
05:11Well done.
05:12Next two questions.
05:15What is this?
05:17And what is the title of this song?
05:19I could be brown, I could be blue, I could be violet sky.
05:23Charlie.
05:24Mint Jelly, Grace Kelly.
05:27Mint Jelly, Grace Kelly.
05:29Absolutely right, Charlie.
05:31Well done.
05:33Fingers on buzzers.
05:34Here's your next one.
05:341903 award won by Marie Curie, named after the inventor of dynamite.
05:41And 1990s ITV talent show with singers impersonating celebrities.
05:45Yes, Val.
05:49Nobel Prize stars in their eyes.
05:51Yeah, there's an equivalence there, isn't there?
05:53Absolutely.
05:54Nobel Prize stars in their eyes.
05:55Well played, Val.
05:56Next two.
05:59BBC programme following people who buy property at auction.
06:02And who is this?
06:07Yes, Charlie.
06:08Homes under the hammer, Maya Jammer.
06:10Homes under the hammer, Maya Jammer.

06:31Beverly Hills Cop Swap Shop.
06:33Beverly Hills Cop Swap Shop.
06:34Well played, Charlie.
06:37Off to an absolute flyer, Charlie Baker.
06:40That's the end of that round.
06:40Let's take a look at our leaderboard for the first time.
06:43We'll take a look at our avatars as well.
06:45Martin and Rebecca very much keeping themselves to themselves for now.
06:49Martin, I love your avatar.
06:52Thank God you wear glasses.
06:56Val, you have two points.
06:57Charlie Baker, our leader with five points.
06:59Well played, Charlie.
07:01Lovely start for you.
07:03Can we catch him?
07:04Shall we play our first pairs game of the week?
07:06It is going to be...
07:09Distinctly average.
07:12Now, Martin and Rebecca, you're tied for third.
07:13So, Martin, why don't you choose your partner for this round?
07:16Who would you like to play with?
07:17Charlie.
07:18Charlie, the guy in the lead?
07:19Yeah.
07:19That's a professional sports person speaking.
07:22Excellent.
07:23So, if Rebecca and Charlie, you can swap places, please.
07:27You just looked at me then like I shouldn't stand on.
07:29No, no, no.
07:29Charlie and Martin are a team.
07:32Val and Rebecca are a team.
07:33These are two good teams, I think.
07:36If you take your tablets out, please,
07:37I'm going to ask you a series of questions.
07:39You're going to write down an answer.
07:40There'll be a number,
07:41and I'll take the average of each pair as their answer, OK?
07:44And whoever's closest wins a point.
07:46Have a little go at home on this one as well.
07:48Your first question is this.
07:52What is the population of Truro, Cornwall's only city?
07:56Wow.
07:56That's your neck of the woods, isn't it?
08:00I'm from Devon, Richard, so that's actually quite offensive.
08:03Do you live near Truro?
08:04Mmm, I live probably 100 miles from Truro.
08:08You're told what I said wasn't offensive.
08:09That is, apparently, 112 miles.
08:12There we are. It was a good guess, wasn't it?
08:13It is neck of the woods.
08:14Yeah, fine.
08:20What do you think at home on this one?
08:22What's the population of Truro?
08:24Martin, what are you thinking?
08:25I changed my views
08:27because at first I didn't read the whole question.
08:29Oh, yes.
08:30It's silly, because it said city,
08:31and I thought, oh, God, so...
08:32For some reason, I was thinking Truro wasn't out to say city,
08:35so I put 1.5 million.
08:371.5 million?
08:381.5 million feels quite punchy.
08:40I think that would make it Britain's second biggest city.
08:43I think it would.
08:44Charlie, are you somewhere in that ballpark?
08:46I am in that ballpark.
08:47I've gone for a million, which feels a bit stupid now.
08:51So 1.25 million people in Truro,
08:54you're saying, what a metropolis Truro is.
08:57Val, are you in the millions here?
08:59No.
09:00I started my journalistic career a million years ago
09:03when we still used chisels and stone working in the south-west,
09:06and I remember Truro being surprisingly small,
09:10so I've gone with 8,500.
09:12We have a real difference of opinion here, don't we?
09:16Rebecca, are you happy with Val's answer?
09:17Yes, I'm cheered by it somewhat,
09:19because I said 23,000.
09:2323,000.
09:24So, yeah, thinking very similarly down there.
09:27Well, listen, at least both teams are in sync with each other,
09:29if not with the other team.
09:31So your average is 15,750.
09:36What do you think at home on this one?
09:37How many people live in Truro?
09:39Is it in the millions, or is it somewhere nearer 15,000?
09:42Let's find out, shall we,
09:43and find out if we're about to give Rebecca and Val a point.
09:47It is...
09:4822,000.
09:51What did you write?
09:52You were so close.
09:5222,000.
09:53Oh, my God.
09:54I found my niche, finally.
09:55Well, listen, you both get a point.
09:56Rebecca, I'm going to give you two points.
09:58Hey!
09:58You went to just 1.4 million hours.
10:04It's a very small city.
10:05It's a small, yeah, it's a small city.
10:06A small but perfectly formed city.
10:08Truro, well done if you're from Truro.
10:10It'd be very hard to do better than Rebecca on that,
10:12but very, very well done if you did.
10:14Next question.
10:16How many hours per year does the average UK adult watch TV,
10:19including on live, catch-up, and streaming services?
10:24Hmm.
10:25Don't put 1.5 million.
10:27Oh.
10:28So it's just whatever you might watch,
10:33and are you above average, below average?
10:36Distinctly average?
10:37Everyone is in.
10:38What do you think?
10:39How much TV do you...
10:40This is where we discover we watch a lot more
10:42or a lot less than other people.
10:43Val, what was your thinking here?
10:45Well, I was thinking that a lot of people watch a lot of telly,
10:48but also a lot of people don't watch a huge amount of telly.
10:52So I thought thinking roughly around about the three hours a day.
10:55Yeah.
10:55Which, and I thought, well, roughly, my sums are not that good.
10:59I came up with 950.
11:02950, yeah, so three hours a day, like, 21 hours a week.
11:06Yeah, that sounds roughly right.
11:09950 says Val.
11:10Rebecca, up or down from that?
11:12365 days a year, yeah?
11:15Yeah.
11:15Yes.
11:16You are not getting another extra point.
11:18I did start there, so then I thought three times three.
11:23Yeah.
11:24But this might not be that.
11:25OK, brilliant, I look forward to this.
11:26But I've said 1,095.
11:28Yeah, almost exactly, yeah.
11:29Can we get clearance on if I've done the right sums there?
11:32It's exactly right, yeah, 365 times three.
11:34That being GCSE maths.
11:36And again, very, very close.
11:37So your average is 1,022 and a half.
11:43Martin, what were you thinking here?
11:44Do you watch a lot of telly?
11:45Yeah, I do watch a lot of telly.
11:47Probably too much telly.
11:48But I'm trying to cut down.
11:50No.
11:51But when it's a catch-up in streaming services,
11:53that's why I thought maybe it's a bit more than that.
11:56OK, so you've gone for...
11:57Sort of slightly double.
12:002,600, you're saying?
12:02Yeah.
12:02So roughly six and a half hours a day we're all watching.
12:04That's a lot of telly.
12:06But listen, I probably do.
12:08Charlie, up or down from 2,600?
12:09Only mildly up, slightly up 2,800.
12:122,800.
12:14So you're going nearly seven hours a day.
12:16So your average is...
12:182,700.
12:20Yeah.
12:20So we're sort of three hours a day, six and a bit hours a day.
12:23What do you think at home on this one?
12:24What have you gone with?
12:25Let's find out, shall we,
12:27how many hours does the average UK adult watch TV in a year?
12:30And who scored the point?
12:321,409.
12:35Well played, Val and Rebecca.
12:36Done, Val and Rebecca.
12:37Nicely done.
12:38Another point to you.
12:39Final question in this round.
12:41Can you make it a clean sweep of distinctly average?
12:44In dollars, how much did the James Bond film No Time To Die
12:48gross at the box office worldwide in 2021?
12:54Did anyone watch No Time To Die?
12:56No.
12:57Really?
12:58No time.
12:58Did you watch No Time To Die?
12:59Got no.
12:59No one here?
13:00Val, did you watch it?
13:01No.
13:01I liked it.
13:03I really liked it.
13:10Everyone in?
13:12Charlie, what are you thinking on this one?
13:14I've gone for $56 million.
13:16$56 million.
13:18I said that like a Bond villain.
13:20$56.
13:21Martin, up or down from that?
13:23I've gone for $70 million.
13:26$70 million, says Martin.
13:28OK.
13:29So your average is?
13:32$63 million, you think it made.
13:34Val, do you think it made $63 million?
13:36Do you think it made more than that?
13:37So I went with, because it's the last two numbers in 2021, I went with $21 million.
13:41$21 million, says Val.
13:43Now, Rebecca, up or down from that?
13:45I have gone $34 million.
13:48$34 million.
13:50Can I just say, I think all of these answers are insanely low.
13:54Really?
13:54I think it made like half a billion or something.
13:56I have no concept of what, I don't think it made.
14:00I hope so.
14:01I could, yeah, you're laughing if it did.
14:03You're laughing if it did.
14:05So your average is $27 million.
14:09We've got $63 million, we've got $27 million.
14:11What do you think at home on this one?
14:12Let's find out how much did No Time to Die gross, and who scored the point?
14:20$774 million is what it made.
14:25Really underestimate.
14:26Wow.
14:27Look at what it ends in.
14:28Double it, that's fake.
14:29Oh, that's 007.
14:30They faked that, surely.
14:31How about, that's amazing.
14:33Gents, you were just over $700 million out, but you get a point.
14:37Fantastic.
14:38That's pretty nice, isn't it?
14:39Very well done.
14:40I get two points.
14:41No.
14:41Do you know what?
14:42You're so close, Charlie.
14:45Tablets away, please, everybody.
14:47That's the end of that round.
14:49So, Rebecca and Charlie, if you'll swap back, please.
14:53And let's take a look at what that has done to our leaderboard, shall we?
14:56Martin, you have one point.
15:00Rebecca, three.
15:02Val, four.
15:03And we keep going up the line.
15:04To Charlie Baker with six points.
15:06Well played, Charlie.
15:07Three rounds to go.
15:08Who's going to be our first champion on this week's House of Games?
15:11Let's play our next round, shall we?
15:12It is...
15:16Tom, Vic and Abbey.
15:18Fingers on buzzers, please.
15:19Tom, Vic and Abbey genuinely are three of our question writers.
15:22We gave them each the same word and told them to write a question with that word as the answer.
15:27You'll see they're three different questions.
15:29Buzz in when you think you know the word we are looking for.
15:32Here's your first one.
15:33UK top 40 single for Block Party in 2008.
15:41Chemical element with the symbol HG.
15:47Val.
15:48Mercury.
15:49Is it Mercury?
15:50Let's take a look at the last question.
15:51Closest planet to the sun.
15:54Mercury is the answer, Val.
15:56It's the answer to all three of those questions.
15:58Well done.
15:59Next one.
16:01Horse that won the 1848 Grand National.
16:04Anyone?
16:06Traditional term for a person who makes candles.
16:10First name of the character who marries Monica in Friends.
16:16Yes, Rebecca.
16:18Chandler.
16:19Chandler.
16:20Absolutely.
16:21You're right.
16:21Well done.

18:09Chicago.
18:09Well played.
18:10It was the city that did it.
18:13I definitely don't know about Kardashians, though, right?
18:15Sure.
18:15Sure, sure, sure.
18:16That's the end of that round.
18:18Let's take a look at what it's done to our scoreboards.
18:21Two rounds to go before we find Monday's champion.
18:24Martin has won.
18:25Rebecca, you've got five.
18:27Charlie with six.
18:28We have a new leader, Val McDermott.
18:29Eight points.
18:30Well played, Val.
18:31Nice done.
18:33Two rounds to go.
18:34Round four today is...
18:38Put your finger on it, if you'll take your tablets out again, please.
18:42I'm going to show you some pictures.
18:44I'm going to ask you to identify something.
18:46Here's your first picture.
18:50OK, and I want you to put your finger on Luke, please.
18:55What do you think at home on this one?
18:57Have a little point at the screen.
18:59We all know who they are, right?
19:02Do we all know who they are?
19:02Luke and Matt Goss?
19:03Yeah, we can speak out loud.
19:04It's Bross.
19:05Bross.
19:05Bross.
19:06Yeah, Matt and Luke Goss, but which one is Luke?
19:09It's really hard, this.
19:10Well, is it?
19:12I mean, it's 50-50, Rebecca.
19:15And if you lock in when you're happy with your answer?
19:19Everyone's in.
19:19What do you think at home?
19:20Which one's Matt, which one's Luke?
19:22Martin, what's your thinking here?
19:24Do you know the answer?
19:25No.
19:26No.
19:26I just went Matt and Luke.
19:29Matt's on the right, and then Luke's on.
19:30Oh, clever.
19:31Like Antidek, right?
19:32Yeah, yeah.
19:33So you've gone the hatted gentleman.
19:36Yes.
19:36Rebecca, what were you thinking?
19:38Well, I went with the hatted gentleman,
19:40and then I changed my mind to the leather-jacketed gentleman.
19:43The non-hatted gentleman.
19:45So you've gone with the non-hatted gentleman.
19:47We have one for the hatted gentleman,
19:48one for the non-hatted gentleman.
19:50Val, you've gone hatted or non-hatted?
19:52I went alphabetical, so Luke and Matt.
19:54So I went for the one on the left.
19:57Everyone's got a system.
19:59Charlie, hatted, non-hatted?
20:00Hatted gentleman, Richard.
20:02Hatted gentleman.
20:03Just made it interesting.
20:04We are non-hatted versus hatted.
20:07We are 50-50.
20:08What are you at home?
20:09Gone with a hat or without the hat?
20:10Let's find out, shall we?
20:11One's Matt Goss, one's Luke Goss.
20:13Which one is Luke?
20:13Who scored the points?
20:16The un-hatted gentleman.
20:18Val and Rebecca get the points.
20:20Very well done.
20:21That is Luke Goss.
20:22The other one is Matt.
20:24Here's your next picture.
20:26Oh, no.
20:27Could you point to Luke Goss, please?
20:30No, could you point to the caudal fin?
20:36The caudal fin.
20:37Oh, good. Good, good.
20:39How's your fish biology, Martin?
20:43Martin, is it as good as mine?
20:46Probably not.
20:47Yeah.
20:48What do you think at home on this one?
20:49Where are you pointing to on the screen?
20:50Where's that caudal fin?
20:52Rebecca, any clue here or are we guessing?
20:55We're guessing.
20:56We're guessing.
20:57What are we guessing?
20:58Second to last.
21:00A penultimate fin.
21:01It's a fin, isn't it?
21:02For sure.
21:03Feels like that would have a special name.
21:05It's doing half the job, isn't it?
21:06Definitely a fin.
21:07Yes.
21:07Val, do you know your fins?
21:09I seem to remember that in Latin, cauda has to do with the bottomy parts.
21:13Oh.
21:15That's just not fair.
21:17I've gone with the same as Rebecca because we are in tune anyway.
21:20Interesting.
21:21So they've both gone for the same one.
21:22She's good.
21:23She's not only good, she's a brilliant author.
21:24I mean, it's annoying, isn't it?
21:25Yeah.
21:26Yeah?
21:26Is there nothing she can't do?
21:28Charlie, what's the caudal fin?
21:30Fins ain't what they used to be.
21:31I've gone for the same one.
21:33You've gone for the same one?
21:34Bum fin.
21:34Can I say that?
21:35Bum fin.
21:35Bottom fin.
21:36Yeah, bum fin.
21:37Have we got four bum fins?
21:39We have got four bum fins.
21:40I just went for the powers of deduction.
21:42Yes.
21:43It's not going to be the top one or the normal fin because that would just be too obvious.
21:48It can't be the tails.
21:49I thought it's going to be one of the two at the bottom.
21:51I initially went for the one which is not near the bum.
21:54And I thought, oh, that's a strange fin.
21:56I wonder what the name of that would be.
21:58So I thought, oh, that's got to be it.
21:59We're all on the bum fin.
22:01All on the bum fin.
22:02We're all on the bum fin.
22:02This is exciting.
22:04Is the caudal fin the bum fin?
22:06It is not.
22:07Oh, man.
22:08Oh, God.
22:10Absolute joke.
22:10But yeah, that's the caudal fin.
22:12There you go.
22:12At the back there.
22:13Well done if you got that at home because we all got it wrong here.
22:16Here's your final picture in the round.
22:20Okay.
22:21If only we had a professional musician amongst us.
22:24Could you put your finger on, please?
22:27The nut.
22:28Oh, my goodness.
22:31What a round we're having.
22:33What do you reckon at home on this?
22:34Any guitarists out there who know where the nut is?
22:38Everyone in?
22:41Okay.
22:42Everyone's in.
22:42What do you think at home on this one?
22:44Val, you're in a band of crime writers, aren't you?
22:47The fun-loving crime writers.
22:48Yes.
22:49Do you play guitar?
22:49I used to play guitar in my youth, and so I went through the bits that I definitely know
22:54the name of.
22:55Yes.
22:56And that left me with the bit up at the top where the tuning key things are.
23:02Okay.
23:03Which are kind of nuts because you turn them.
23:05So that's where Val has gone.
23:06Charlie.
23:07I've gone for the same place.
23:09Same place as Charlie.
23:10Same place.
23:10Are we really going to do this again?
23:11The tuning nut.
23:13Does that count as the same place?
23:15Oh, so you've gone with the actual twiddly bits.
23:17Maybe that's wrong.
23:17So Val, you've gone with the main body of that.
23:20Charlie, you've gone with the little twiddly bit on the side.
23:22And I'm regretting bringing that up now.
23:23Sorry, I didn't know if you knew that I was a professor of guitars.
23:27Martin, what are you thinking?
23:28Well, I too did play the guitar briefly back in the 90s.
23:31Everyone plays the guitar.
23:32So I went the same area.
23:34The nut.
23:35So you're both on the little twiddly bit.
23:38Val is on the other bits.
23:40The whole bit was a little bit.
23:40Rebecca, professional guitarist, essentially.
23:44Where is the nut?
23:45I've gone for the bottom bit.
23:46The bottom bit.
23:48The bum of the guitar.
23:49Oh, the guitar bum.
23:51Are we giving away some points here?
23:55Oh.
23:56No one is right.
23:57It's the little white strip between...
24:00You know, it holds the strings together.
24:01Yeah, but you wouldn't think that would be called the nut.
24:03That's the nut.
24:04You've got the headstock value you're on,
24:05and there's tuning pegs there.
24:07And, Rebecca, you're on the guitar bum.
24:09Yeah, as usual.
24:11That is the end of that round.
24:13Did that go well, that round?
24:14No, it was bad.
24:15Tablets away, please.
24:16Let's take a look at our leaderboard
24:17before we go into Answer Smash for the first time this week.
