I feel tingles in my ears start up. I put my hands up to them, feeling them change between my fingers. My focus changes to my left arm as it starts tingling. I watch as orange fur with black stripes appear. As the tingling stops I look to the host, ready to get on to the next question.

(I watch Bob change, and, somewhere in the back of my mind, I almost feel jealous. Not only does he now have both ears transformed, but he's got a tail, too! I push those thoughts away for the moment, though; I've got a game to win.)

Alright, folks, we gotta keep this game moving forward, so it's time for question number five!
For thirty points, "If a Right Triangle has two sides that are twelve and thirteen inches long respectively, how long is one tenth of the third side?"

Hmm, a right sided triangle has two equal sides. So there is going to be one side that is equal to one of the two sides given. I think, trying to figure out the answer.

I shake my head a bit. No, wait. I'm over thinking things again. That's what got me in trouble with the last question. Gotta focus, this shouldn't be too hard for me. I think, correcting myself as I redo the math. I smile as I finish doing the math and hit my buzzer.

And, Bob! Your response?

"Since the third side would come out to five inches, the answer is 0.5 inches." I said confidently.

Correct! The thirty points go to Bob!
(Your score rises from 10 points to 40.)

(I now feel the familiar tingling sensation in my right hand. To my surprise, it's even more intense than usual, and I grab at my wrist with my left hand from the shock. The skin on my hand is turning dark, and gray fur, darker than the rest, grows from the creases in my palm and all over the back of my hand. My fingers then become completely engulfed in fur of the same color, and my fingernails thicken and reshape into small claws. When it is finished, only a few pads of skin on my palm and fingers remain uncovered. I flex my hand. It's invigorating! I hold my hand up to the light, and I see my new fur shine. I almost lose myself to the feeling, but I bring myself back to reality soon enough to hear the Host announce the next question.)

Looks like somebody's enjoying their penalty. There's more where that came from! Let's move on to question number 6!
For thirty points again, "What quote does Bob Barker always say at the end of every episode of his game show, 'The Price is Right'?"

I think I remember this one. A shame I haven't seen any repeat shows since he retired. I think, reaching for my buzzer.
