At the end of the training, Arthur becomes overwhelmed and tired of riddles.

He wakes up, and D.W. excitedly informs him that he will be appearing on the show that day. | ||
Arthur and his parents arrive at the game show. Arthur is nervous, unlike [[Charlotte Bickles]], who appears overconfident and bored backstage. Alex Lebek, the host, asks the first riddle and Arthur quickly answers it correctly (somewhat to Charlotte's surprise). | Arthur and his parents arrive at the game show.

*When Arthur does the bell-ringing training with Francine, Francine says he performed 45 pings in one minute and did fairly well. However, he happens to be pinging it at a speed of rather 3-5 rings per second so he would have had rung it a lot more than the fact that there are 60 seconds in a minute. | *When Arthur does the bell-ringing training with Francine, Francine says he performed 45 pings in one minute and did fairly well.
