This will be focused on the points won during the questions only, not the extra points the professor gives out willy-nilly. And I'm not including the huge crazy numbers. If an answer is right, it's one point.
    Actual Score: Ryan had 2 points and Ify had 2. It was a tie.

    I would like to formally acknowledge the real star of this episode: Ify’s thighs. Really good stuff. Special thanks go to Ify for getting those bad boys out and letting us all enjoy them.

      I've felt so baited the past two episodes with questions feeling like the perfect setup to reference the genie, but it doesn't happen. :(
