Host: Welcome back, everybody, to Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. Tim, Ed, and Tony here.

Host: Thanks for listening to AFR. We have 24 and a half minutes of edgymication to bring forth.

Host: We go back to the phones because we had left one of our folks online. Who's that?

Host: That's Roscoe. Roscoe, what's your question for us? Thank you for waiting.

Caller: How many colors are there in the spectrum?

Caller: I'm bringing this up because I've been an illustrator, and I once illustrated a book for a fellow who taught elementary education for new science teachers. He had material about using a prism, or even making a prism out of a pan of water.

Caller: He kept quoting material from a publisher that put some very common materials in a lot of public schools that said, "The seven colors of the rainbow." I had an argument with that, and he had to run it by all these other science professors. I had to write the correction by hand as a caption to one of the illustrations before they would say, "Yes, you're correct." They included it in the book. But how many colors are there in the spectrum?

Host: You're not talking about primary or secondary colors. You're talking about all the colors, just the number of colors?

Caller: Yes, like a Crayola box of 36 or 72. Think of a rainbow that you see. Is it under 10 or over 10?

Host: It's certainly over 10.

Host: I've got 10 fingers, and that's why I have no idea what the answer is. You've got to guess how many colors are in the spectrum.

Host: Sometimes I cheat. I text my wife.

Host: She says, "Don't put me on the spot." She says it's millions.

Host: Because you're talking about every shade and hue of a color, it's over 10.

Host: Millions of colors? I don't know. We don't know what the answer is, Roscoe.

Guest: The answer would be infinite. A rainbow is a spectrum, and by definition, a spectrum cannot be numbered. No matter how many colors you try to name, there will be colors in between them. It is an analogous infinity.

Host: Okay, so the answer is infinite. I think that says something about the glory of creation.

Host: My wife was closer.

Host: Don't disregard your contribution, Tim. You said more than 10.

Host: I asked whether it was more than 10 or not.

Host: It was absolutely more than 10. All right, thank you, Roscoe.

Host: Now, is there a point where you lose the chance of getting the answer to a question because you don't understand it? Have you ever been there?

Host: Many, many times in your life. Many times on this show.

Host: You try to focus, but it just gets beyond your pay grade, I guess, and I was there with that question.

Host: After you said it was over 10, then I quit. I just quit.

Host: I think we've learned that if someone says the answer is over 10, you just go for infinite at that point.

Host: Do you just shoot right to infinite?

Host: Is it under or over 10?

Host: Well, then it's infinite.

Host: Okay, go right to infinite.

Host: Can you blend colors in an infinite way to create different colors? Is that what that means?

Guest: I think, first of all, we should see where I get lost there. But we have spent enough time on that particular issue.

Host: That's why I want to delve into it more, though. I think we need to break the stand.

Guest: I think what he's saying is that when you get to shades in between different types of colors, there are different grades of colors and gradients.

Host: Do you believe that?

Host: I don't know. I don't want to call Roscoe a liar.

Host: You sound like a spectrum denier.

Host: I don't like being called a spectrum denier.

Host: That was a good one, Tony.

Host: I'm a spectrum denier. I just don't think there can be an infinite number of colors.

Host: I don't think we should break fellowship over this.

Host: In Roscoe's defense, he's an illustrator.

Host: He was illustrating this to us.

Host: All right, Trivia Friday here on American Family Radio. We're going to repeat our questions for the last time today.

Host: I was thinking about this. One of my questions, which was answered, was, "What is the difference between a Latino and a Hispanic person, or are they the same thing?"

Host: They're not necessarily the same thing, but Latino and Hispanic are not race-defining.

Host: What is a Mexican or a person from Central America? Are they considered white in the ethnicity category?

Host: I think technically they are a nonwhite Hispanic.

Host: You see that terminology used sometimes by police or others to describe a person. I always thought Hispanic was a race, but I was wrong.

Host: According to the Census Bureau, Hispanic is classified as an ethnicity, not a race, meaning a person of Hispanic origin can belong to any racial group, such as white, Black, or Asian.

Host: So race and ethnicity are different?

Guest: An ethnicity is a people group. It is not technically the same as a nation or nationality. Ethnicity comes from the Greek word ethne. When the Bible talks about peoples, it will often use that word, ethne, to talk about people groups.

Guest: Nations are a fairly recent development in terms of the nation of France. France probably consists of different ethnic groups. But that's not what people mean when they say race.

Host: Usually when they mean race, they may mean Caucasian.

Host: Yes.

Host: What about Asian?

Guest: Asian, probably. I don't know whether American Indian is considered a separate race.

Guest: The problem for Hispanics is that Mexicans, for example, are descendants of Spanish conquerors and the Native American groups that were here, the indigenous groups.

Host: So what category do you put them in?

Guest: It has to be an ethnicity.

Host: I always thought the Hispanic group was an ethnic group, but I guess it's not necessarily.

Host: It can be both.

Host: Anyway, we'll explore this more later.

Host: I'm watching the listeners plummet.

Host: Except we're picking up some groups.

Host: You're listening to Trivia Friday on American Family Radio. Tony said we're losing our listeners, and they're going ahead in their faith.

Host: It was an interesting conversation, but it's not really for Trivia Friday. Let's repeat our unanswered questions.

Host: I had an earlier question about President John F. Kennedy. I want to know what the F stands for.

Host: What about Eskimos? Where do they fit?

Host: Let's talk about that all weekend in this worldwide ethnicity question.

Host: Second question: Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she was not ethnically Egyptian. What was her ethnic background?

Host: I also have a true or false question. There are no plant-eating snakes in the world. Is that true or false?

Host: Two questions are left. What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s?

Host: Someone said I had asked about the 1930s last time. I apologize. It was the 1830s.

Host: What famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?

Host: What is the answer to why apples float in water?

Host: It is apple-bobbing season, and we want to know why those apples are sitting there floating in the water.

Host: You put a cucumber in there, and it doesn't float.

Host: That's a country song right there. "You put a cucumber in there, and it don't float."

Host: That's my only question left. Why do apples float in water?

Host: Let's go back to Texas. Kathy is on the line. Kathy, welcome to Trivia Friday.

Caller: Thank you.

Host: Where do you live in Texas?

Caller: I'm from Alabama.

Host: There are Black people from Alabama, too, you know.

Host: See what happens when you start talking about this? There are Mexicans there, too. There are all kinds of people, and maybe a few Italians.

Host: I'm sorry. I brought that up. You're trying to make a joke, and it was uncalled for.

Host: So you're from Huntsville, Texas, not Huntsville, Alabama, although you may have grown up in Huntsville. Do you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both?

Caller: I'll do both.

Host: Which one do you want to answer?

Caller: The one about John F. Kennedy.

Host: President John F. Kennedy. What does the F stand for, Kathy?

Caller: Fitzgerald.

Host: Absolutely correct. That was pretty easy, right? A lot of folks probably know that.

Caller: I'm old enough to know that history.

Host: John F. Kennedy was assassinated when I was probably in elementary school.

Host: What's your question for us?

Caller: My husband's from Arkansas, so this is an Arkansas question. Before the arrival of white men, Arkansas was inhabited by what tribes? There are three of them.

Host: You mean there were three tribes who inhabited what we now know as the state of Arkansas before white men arrived?

Host: We're going to talk amongst ourselves, so don't say yes or no. One of them, I think, was the Ouachita.

Host: So much in Arkansas is named after the Ouachita. There's Ouachita National Forest, Ouachita Baptist Church, and Ouachita Baptist College.

Host: Is that one of them?

Caller: No, it's not.

Host: I thought I had something there for sure. I was going with you, and you let me down the wrong path.

Host: Then I'll say Cherokee.

Host: Was there any tribe in the Delta? I'm trying to think of the overlap.

Host: We're over two. You got your chalk towels.

Caller: No.

Host: What are they? What's the right answer?

Caller: The Caddo, the Osage, and the Quapaw. That's spelled Q-U-A-P-A-W-S.

Host: The one I should have known was Osage. That's a very popular name between Arkansas and Missouri. I think there's an Osage River there.

Host: You just don't think about it.

Host: So the name Ouachita, that's not an Indian tribe?

Host: I cannot be tempted into that conversation again.

Host: That's an excellent question, and we learned something today from Kathy.

Host: Who was laughing in the background, Kathy?

Caller: Travis.

Host: Travis, remember, what goes around comes around. You might get cold meatloaf today for lunch. A little karma.

Host: Kathy, well done on the answer. You stumped the panel. What were the three tribes again?

Caller: The Osage, Caddo, and Quapaw.

Host: Quapaw. Was that pronounced right?

Caller: Quapaw.

Host: The Caddo, the Osage, and the Quapaw.

Host: What's the little dog's name?

Caller: That's my grandson. He's one. His name is Jedidiah.

Host: I thought I heard a little dog bark in the background.

Caller: No, he is my one-year-old grandson.

Host: Okay, grandson. All right. Thank you so much for calling. Say a little prayer for Travis, and have a great weekend.

Host: You're listening to Trivia Friday on American Family Radio, also known as Learning University.

Host: That was not in stereo at all. We're going to do that again.

Host: Also known as Learning University.

Host: Tony's going to have to practice on it.

Host: I thought you had to put more emphasis on it.

Host: No, you need to shoot more free throws.

Host: I'm just glad I got it this time. Several months ago, I missed it every single time.

Host: He didn't even know he didn't have a tone to the cue. He didn't know when to say it.

Host: We go to North Carolina. Chuck is on the line. What's going on, Chuck?

Caller: We're having a good day. How about you? You sound like you're having a good time.

Host: I'm glad you got through that people-group discussion.

Caller: The tornado just passed. I'm in a car wash, and I apologize.

Host: You need to get back in the car, though.

Caller: It's almost over.

Host: Are you really in a car wash? That's a first.

Caller: Literally.

Host: Here comes the undercarriage.

Caller: Hang on a second. Here comes the triple wax.

Host: I have to admire a man who uses every moment of the day for something different. That's very efficient.

Host: All right, Chuck, do you want to ask a question, answer a question, or do both? We're coming up to the end of the program.

Caller: I'm going to answer, for sure. I didn't really have a question prepared, but I could ask one about the Indian tribes in North Carolina. I definitely couldn't answer it.

Host: Which one do you want to try to answer?

Caller: The one about the apple floating. I know the Cherokee are in North Carolina, so I know that for a fact.

Host: There are probably a lot of tribes in North Carolina.

Caller: There are more than three, but the Cherokees are one of them.

Host: The question Chuck is going to answer is this: Why do apples float in water?

Caller: Because the weight of the water that the apple displaces weighs more than the apple itself.

Host: That's a good life lesson right there. Share it again, Chuck. Remember this, people.

Caller: Any object will float if the object is displacing water that weighs more than the object itself.

Host: Our mothers told us that at one time in life.

Host: The quick answer is that apples are about 25 percent air.

Host: We're saying the same thing in different ways.

Host: It's like saying Cherokee and Indian. They both mean the same thing.

Host: Witches are not 25 percent air, so they sank.

Host: Good job, Chuck. Way to go.

Host: All right, fire away. What do you have for us?

Caller: I know that the Tuscarora were a tribe in North Carolina.

Host: Tuscarora.

Caller: Tuscarora.

Host: Are you out of the car?

Caller: I don't really have anything else to throw in there.

Host: I hope your vehicle looks great. Are you going to vacuum it, Chuck?

Caller: I got out, and it looks good.

Host: Why don't you call us back while the vacuum is on?

Host: Chuck, we have to let you go because we have to give the answers to our questions. Thank you, Chuck. Have a blessed weekend.

Host: I had two questions remaining. Although Cleopatra was the last pharaoh of Egypt, she wasn't ethnically Egyptian. What was her ethnic background?

Host: Greek. I think she was Macedonian Greek.

Host: The reason she was pharaoh of Egypt was that Egypt was one of the lands conquered by Alexander the Great.

Host: There are no plant-eating snakes in the world. True or false?

Host: True. That is true.

Host: What everyday condiment was sold as medicine in the 1830s?

Host: Ketchup.

Host: What famous university is older than the Aztec Empire?

Host: Oxford University. It was teaching by 1096, and the Aztec Empire wasn't established until the 1400s.

Host: Were the Aztecs Hispanic or Latino?

Host: I don't know. While Oxford was teaching classes at a university, the Aztecs were practicing human sacrifice.

Host: Everybody, have a great weekend. Thanks for listening to Trivia Friday. We'll see you on Monday.
