48.15-Goodgoodgood


The men of the final five had to answer trivia questions. Whatever points they lost could be partially redeemed by Maya who could earn corrections like Emily. 20/100 points were earned in the mission, making the pot 310/720 points. Emily and Maya both got a correction but only Emily used it. Maximillian was executed as fifth. The contestants are very close to the end. Have they figured out who the Mole is yet?



Emily: "Ack!"


Emily: "Why is it so humid...why is there so much fog?"


Emily: "I don't know how Jay and Oscar ever survived sleeping in here."

"Contestants, today you will be experiencing Moonlight Fall's top-tier education system...and destroying it. Each of you will first be given a crash course on one of the following subjects: Economics, Biology, History and Literature. After that, you will be taking an examination. You are allowed to help each other during the one hour examination but do not get caught by the two short-sighted and partially-deaf invigilators."
Derrick: "Cheating? I thought I was past that."
Emily: "I'm not keen on it either."


"The citizens of Moonlight Falls take cheating very seriously and would never allow cheating. Thankfully, we're not from Moonlight Falls. And thankfully, we are not in the field of education. You can earn up to 50 points per contestant. Please choose a subject."


Emily: "I think it's clear Noel should take Literature."
Noel: "Actually, that's the very reason why I should not. I already know enough about it. I'll study History instead."


Emily: "I'll take Biology."


Derrick: "It's either Literature or Economics for me and Maya. Maya, are you able to handle any of them? I doubt they're entry-level."
Maya: "I do my goodgoodgood."


Noel: "I think Maya should take Literature."
Emily: "She doesn't understand Simlish. How can she take Lit?"


Noel: "She doesn't but I do. We're allowed to cheat. I will essentially be doing two exams in the span of one hour."


Maya: "Okay. Thank you."

Derrick: "My classroom is B-02."


Noel: "Where is your classroom?"
Maya: "A-01."
Noel: "Mine is C-03."


Emily: "I am the closest to school...if you don't count Derrick, that is. I hope still retained some of my knowledge."

***


Maya: "I happy to go school. I no go school. I want to...learn."

***


Derrick: "I fell sick while on the show. It got worse during the exam mission. It was really hard to concentrate and my performance was affected but I had to do my part. I couldn't ask someone else to take the exam on my behalf."

***


Derrick: "I need to pull over."


Derrick: "I don't feel too well."









Derrick: "Ugh...hopefully I'll feel better after vomitting."

After the crash course, the contestants enter the examination hall to take the exam.

"Please find your seats."


Emily: "Oh great. Mine is all the way in front."


Each paper has 10 questions, each worth 5 points. Every question they get correct will add 5 points. However, if they are caught communicating with another contestant or getting out of their seat, they would be considered to have cheated and their paper will be unmarked, meaning to say that their paper gets 0 points. 



However, the invigilators Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear and Mr. Earwax-Buildup can only see the tables directly beside and in front of them, and will not ask any questions if a contestant is at another table, as long as the contestant is seated.


"You may begin."


Noel: "What the..this isn't what I studied."


Maya: "Err...I no know. They no say in TV."


Derrick: Ugh, my stomach is hurling. Nothing is making sense any more."


Emily: "This is not biology. Am I at the wrong seat?"

***


Emily: "They messed up our seating plan and we were at the wrong seats. That meant we had to find a way to get to the correct seats without talking too loudly or being seen moving around."

***


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "If any of you need to use the toilet, please raise your hand. Either I or Mr. Earwax-Buildup will escort you. However, the time will not stop."


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "WHAT WAS THAT?"


Emily: "Now that they mention it I really need to go."


Emily: "Excuse me? Hello? Over here?"


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Yes?"
Emily: "I need to use the toilet."


Noel: "Doesn't anyone empty their bladder before going for examinations any more?"


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "I think I found the toilet."


Emily: "Thank you Miss!"


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Now where did she go?"


Derrick: "Good job Emily. Keep the woman distracted."


Maya: "Cold War? I no know...rain?"


Derrick: "Now's my chance."


Derrick: "This isn't my paper either. It's Literature."


Emily: "Oh, you were waiting for me?"
Derrick: "Crap."


Derrick: "I hope they don't come this way."


Emily: "Wait! Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear! I...er...need to go again!"
Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "No can do. You must give others a chance to use the toilet. Now I will escort you to your seat."


Emily: "That was a close one."


Derrick: "Phew."


Derrick: "But now I'm stuck."


Noel: "Maya, let's switch places."


Noel: "Geez."


Maya: "Miss...I...toilet."
Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "I will escort you."


Noel: "Keep going..."


Derrick: "There's an empty seat there."


Noel: "This is the right one."


Noel: "I see Maya attempted one question."


Derrick: "Crap."


Derrick: "Too close."


Maya: "I am done."


Ms Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Let us go."
Maya: "No!"
Ms Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Are you defying me?"
Maya: "No..."


Ms Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Then let's go. Time waits for no one."
Derrick: "Is this Maya's seat? Then I need to go."


Ms Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Pardon me. I can't see too far ahead."


Ms-Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "We have arrived."


Noel: "Nothing to see here."


Noel: "Come on, get lost..."


Derrick: "Oops. I thought that was your seat."


Derrick: "Good. They're going away."


Derrick: "Stay there."


Noel: "Let's go."


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "Why is somebody seated here? I should check the seating plan later."


Noel: "Crap. I don't have time to move."


Noel: "Don't mind me. I'm just a student."


Emily: "What is the powerhouse of the cell? Isn't it the mitochondria?"


Noel: "They're surrounding me."


Noel: "There's an undone paper right there. That must be the lit paper.


Noel: "I said to help Maya complete this too."


Noel: "Identify the tone...pfft. Child's play."


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "Something is not right."


Maya: "What they do?"


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "We need to check the seating plan again. Something doesn't add up."


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Candidates, may I have your attention please. We will be verifying your identity. When we reach your seat, please announce your name to us. Thank you."


Emily: "What?"
Noel: "Crap. We need to return to our old seats."


Emily: "Noel, get out of my seat."


Derrick: "Coming through!"


Emily: "Oh god...I hope I'm not too late."


Emily: "Phew."


Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Name please."
Emily: "Emily Brenner."


Noel: "Noel McAllister."


Derrick: "Derrick Wyland, ma'am."


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "Name?"
Maya: "Maya Hennessey."


Noel: "We're never going to finish in time like this. We need to communicate our answers."


Noel: "Psst...I'm up until seventh question. The answer for that is 1918."
Maya: "Okay..."


Derrick: "Noel and Maya are whsipering answers. Emily, what is one function of the Golgi apparatus?"
Emily: "Er...it creates lysosomes."
Derrick: "How do you spell that?"


Derrick: "Got it. Now I need to get closer to Noel."


Maya: "Miss there!"


Derrick: "Thanks Maya."


Derrick: "Okay, I was thinking about the second question and I think the biggest problem should be inflation."


Emily: "Why does he keep walking down this aisle? Looks like I have to attempt some of these literature questions on my own."


Emily: "What is this an example of...er...how would I know?"


Derrick: "Emily, if you need help, Noel told me some of the answers to your paper."


Emily: "I need a lot of help."
Derrick: "Alright, I'm coming over..."


Derrick: "Nevermind."

Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "Time is up. All candidates please stop writing. We will come and collect your papers. Please remain silent and stay in your seats in the meantime."
Noel: "Oh, we have definitely been doing that."


Emily: "I hope I did well."


Derrick: "I've been a good boy, sir."


Mr. Earwax-Buildup: "WHAT WAS THAT?"


Maya: "Scary..."
Ms. Tissue-In-Her-Ear: "All papers have been accounted for. You may leave the examination hall."

Emily: "I haven't felt this nervous since my finals."
Derrick: "How well do you think you all did?"


Noel: "That depends if we're looking at the paper we sat for or the actual course we studied."


Maya: "No good..."


"Contestants, your papers have been marked and graded. There has been some mix-up with the index numbers so we have rectified it. Each grade you will receive will be the paper that you were supposed to sit for. It is time to find out how you did."


"Maya, you had 6 questions correct on your Literature exam."
Maya: "Good?"


"Noel, you had 8 questions correct on your History exam."
Noel: "Not too shabby for a beginner."


"Derrick, you had 5 questions correct on your Economics paper."
Derrick: "I expected a result like that."


"Emily, you had 9 questions correct on your Biology paper."
Emily: "Yes! I wonder which question I got wrong."


The contestants have book-smarts, getting 28 questions correct in total and earning 140/200 points. However, are they knowledgeable enough to catch the Mole?
