Mr. Foot then enters and writes his name ("foot") on a blackboard using a stick of chalk that's held between his toes. He is then asked a specific question, first by Arlene, then by Bennett, pertaining to a certain part of the body, but each of them guess incorrectly. Professor Hastings, though, ends up guessing the correct answer by default by declaring that his foot fell asleep. After he is announced as the winner by Guy, he runs from his podium to regain feeling in his foot. Since he is ''<u>still</u>'' blindfolded, he accidentally runs into Mr. Foot, after which he removes his blindfold and discovers, to his astonishment, that Mr. Foot <u>is</u> an<span style="font-style: italic;"> actual </span>foot. |
