The History of Rome is Dead, Long Live the History of Rome

Lend me your ears!  It's the 3way quizzo podcast for the week of June 17, 2012.

Rules: This is a written quiz game you can play along with - you can even play against other people if you want.  There'll be three rounds of questions, ten regular questions each round.  We'll do round one, and then I'll reveal the answers.  Then we do the same for round two, and then for round three.

You get to Joker one of your three rounds -  it makes all the regular points you got that round double in value.  Keep in mind, you can only Joker one round.  Also, you've gotta use your Joker before you hear the answers to the round.  Also, bonus points never double. (And to get a bonus point, you have to get the underlying original question correct.)

Unless otherwise mentioned, proper spelling and full names are not necessary for the point.  Cheating is for wieners. At the end, whoever has the higher score wins.

In the event of a TIE, here's how the tie-breaker works: You'll have to answer a numerical question, and whichever team comes closest is the winner.  However, if one team is over by some amount and another team is under by that same exact amount, showcase showdown rules kick in, and the tie-breaking point goes to the lower answer.
