(Intro)

Ceri: Hello and welcome to SciShow Quiz Show, the only quiz show where they pull in writers as last-minute hosts.  

Sally: Yaaay!

C: I'm your host, Ceri Riley, and today's contestants are Hank Green, one-fourth of the amazing new science podcast that's not for children, SciShow Tangents.

Hank: Ceri is also on Tangents.

C: Yeah.

H: We got half of us here.  Well, 2/3--well...

S: (?~0:34)

H: 3/4 if you count the one that Sally guest-hosted.

S: Yeah, I was a guest.

H: And Sam's right there.

Sam: I'm here, too.

C: So we're all in the room and Tangents is great.  All the way from the UK, we have evolutionary biologist, PhD, and our friend, Sally Le Page.

H: Hello.

S: Thank you very much.

C: We're very excited to have her.

H: I'm gonna lose.  

S: You say this.  I don't know.  I think I'm prone to overthinking the questions.

H: I lose a lot.  

S: Okay.  

C: As a thank you to some of our amazing supporters on Patreon, we've chosen two of you at random to win some prizes that Hank and Sally will earn for you.

H: Who is it?

C: Hank will be competing on behalf of Amanda Piazza.

H: Hello, Amanda.

C: And Sally will be playing for Kelvin Dueck.  

S: Hi, Kelvin.  Great name.  It is a great name, though.  

H: Yeah.

C: Stefan, show our players and audience what they can win.

Stefan: Where am I?  What's--wait a second.  I know what this is.  This is the Prize Zone.  Prize Zone!  Prize zone.  Alright, let's get into it.  Our two contestants today, Amanda and Kelvin, will both have a chance to walk away with some prizes, though I must remind you that these prizes do not have a cash value.  You can't just like, walk into a pizza place and be like, here's a pin, give me a pizza.  Everyone's gonna be taking home autographed cards from our final round and the winner gets the lovely 'I Won SciShow Quiz' pin and exactly one bushel of SciShow swag from DFTBA.com.  But wait, there's more!  The loser of the show, the one with the least points but also the one with the most heart, will get the 'I Lost SciShow Quiz Show' pin, which just lets the world know that you're proud of who you are and the fact that you lost an internet game show, and who wouldn't be?

Alright, good luck, contestants.  Game on.

C: I'll start you both off with 1,000 points.

H: Heyy!

S: Ooh, that's a lot.  Can I just leave now?  

H: I mean, often it is the better strategy.

C: If you get a question right, you get 200, and if you get one wrong, you'll lose 100.  

S: Okay.

C: So you'll still stay pretty high no matter how you do.  

H: I've gotten negative.  

C: But you can't have negative points because that's an added rule now, so.  Says on my card, no, you cannot have negative points.

H: Yeah, well.  I made it happen one time.  

S: Impressive.

H: I worked really hard.

S: I think that is a skill in itself.  

H: No, no, it wasn't.

S: I think you should get points for managing to make negative points.

H: I did actively work toward it and the comments were very insistent that we dock me future points, but then we didn't do that.

C: And in honor of you submitting your thesis, Sally--

S: Yaaaay!

C: Congrats.

S: Thank you.

C: All of the categories in today's quiz show are about pure and restful things.  

H: Oh.

S: That's good.

H: I'm so glad it's not about evolutionary biology.

S: I was gonna say, is it about the history of people submitting their theses and it going wrong?

C: Yeah, all about fruit flies.  

H: That would be very bad.

C: But our actual first category is meadows.

H: Oh, meadows are peaceful.

C: One of the most beautiful parts of meadows are the wildflowers, but they're more than just fun to look at.  Over the years, humans have also found dozens of medicinal uses for them, but our ways of identifying which plants to use haven't always been reliable.  Take one idea called the doctrine of signatures.  According to some scholars, it is said that a plant is safe and useful if it meets what condition?  A: It releases a dark liquid when crushed, B: It has a strong or bitter smell, C: It looks like the thing you're trying to treat, or D: It leaves a mark if you rub it on your skin?  

H: I'm gonna say C, it looks like the thing you're trying to treat, 'cause that sounds like the kind of messed up thing somebody would think.

C: Yep, you're right.  

S: That's--yeah.

H: Yeaah!
