• 15:23
  Speaker 2: resistant to corrosion, especially, I think, water, and it gives

• 16:00
  Speaker 1: though it's closer to the sun, it has such an atmosphere,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I think, that it's chilly willy. And that's it for
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: the regular rounds, which means it's time for the Big
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Bang Round. The category for this week's Big Bang Round

  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:30

• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Five countries. And said which two had square flags. And
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: we knew it was Switzerland was one of them. And
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: did not picture Vatican City's flag as being square. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: thought it was a regular length with... one-third white with
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: the keys on there, and then two-thirds gold. And apparently
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: it's half and half, and it's a square.

  Speaker 1: Yeah. Learn something new.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Let us down.
