@Vojthas From our first Pts. 32,000 winner on to the first European player, Vojthas from Poland. Vojthas ♦ ♦ Poland You are known here for your podcasts and general work around the forum, right?

@Vojthas And we will make a smooth transition over to you in a couple of minutes. Stay tuned. @mrv86 Thank you for playing and being our first contestant.

@mrv86 But that means as our first contestant you do leave with a respectable five-figure sum. TOTAL WINNINGS ♦ P t s . 3 2 , 0 0 0 ♦

Well, that was unfortunate and you do get to take that 50:50 with you. But here's the good news. If I do more in the future, I will not limit by a one-time appearance. Generally, the only ones who are allowed to return in the actual show are celebrities - and on totallympics I guess everyone's a celebrity here.

He was King of Lombardy and Venetia. Franz Josef was born in 1830.

@mrv86 Well, that goes better than expected in between. Only 2 questions away from the final question. It's getting rather dark in here.

@mrv86From now on you can lose again. You drop half of what you have if you gave me a wrong answer to this question: Pts. 125,000 For her performance in which film was Sophia Loren awarded her only Academy Award as best actress? ♦ A: A Special Day ♦ B: Two Women ♦ C: Marriage Italian Style ♦ D: The Black Orchid

@Vojthas I'm in a bit of a predicament as somebody was waiting for me to call them. Is it okay if we had our run tomorrow, before OlympicIRL?

50:50 not needed here? I mean either way, you should answer. It's just trying to save a lifeline or maxing your chances.

@mrv86Nothing lost, except a lifeline. 50:50 remains and your second question for 64,000 points... Pts. 64,000 What is a naginata? ♦ A: Cat breed ♦ B: Beef dish ♦ C: Pole weapon ♦ D: Sewing needle

Nah, champagne bottle. It's the wire cage on a cork.
