Week 5 result

The competition heats up in week 5, with four contestants receiving perfect scores. The categories were Literature & Fine Arts and Vocabulary. Iris is eliminated, losing by one point.

She said she knew the answers to the questions about paintings, but she did not answer correctly. Shakespeare is her area of expertise, because she enjoys it so much. There is no obvious reason why she falls short this week. Perhaps it is just that only the top contenders are left.

Iris' mother, who emphasizes balance in everything, did not seem very disappointed. Life goes on.

The answer to the literature question Iris missed is "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Who else thinks Slartibartfast sounds like a character name from "A Midsummer Night's Dream"?
