TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Doctor Dot. The daily five minute skill devotion. For everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa. Hey guys, Robin here.

Today we are going to revisit a skill that we last covered over 1400 episodes ago, and it's called nearest number, and it's good. Oh, okay. So open nearest number. It was number.

Welcome back to nearest number. Masochist. We play solo or head to head. Solo.

Okay. You're currently in 2924's place on the starter pad leaderboard with a total of 100 points. Say, start the game when you're ready to begin. Start the game.

Due to this game inside you. The next one is in the category places. How many rooms are in Buckingham Palace, London, England? Alexa.

752. Am I here? The answer is 775. I wonder if the Queen uses all of them?

Well done. You couldn't have been much closer. Say, continue to hear the next question. Continue.

Up next is a question in the category words and language. How many words are there in William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet? Sir. 30,000.

Crazy. The answer is 24,545. All those words in Shakespeare. And I can barely understand any of them.

And that's not a bad answer at all. Say, continue for your final question. Continue. Another one is usually 60,000.

Say, and put a play with me. And the final category is food and drink. About how many times have pasta to do Americans eat in a year? 24,000.

Vovov. The answer is 35,000. What do you call pasta with a cold? Macaroni and sneeze.

Laugh. It's funny. You gave it your best shot. You've added 220 points to your total on the starter pack leaderboard where you are currently in 646 plays.

Thanks for playing nearest number. Goodbye. Do, do, do, do. Good sound effects.

And good gameplay. I think it was number. Now, what I'm not sure about is how the scoring goes. If you're within a certain percentage, I don't know.

I don't know how it works. But anyway, really good. Near-ist number. Give it a go, guys.

If that's your thing. This is Robin signing off and I warn you, we're going to get all Wimbledon-y soon because it's coming up next week. This is Robin signing off and we'll speak again tomorrow. Feedback.
