Seconds equal points, but only the first team back with the right answer gets to bank anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The presentation is hilariously dramatic, but the music is fairly banging and the absolute highlight is the ten-year-old kiddy politics that run through it all, and the complete lack of tact on display despite the fact you can tell they&#8217;re trying quite hard to be tactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Keep it under your hat, but RTE&#39;s greatest gameshow is being uploaded to YouTube in *glorious* standard definition <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/QuizZone?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#QuizZone<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/zAfxW9dshG\">https:\/\/t.co\/zAfxW9dshG<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Alex McMillan (@UndeniablyAlex) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UndeniablyAlex\/status\/1411363246934839301?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 3, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is one episode where the win hinges on someone BOLTING through the zone having been told before the round began the answer is &#39;Panama Canal&#39;.
