The judges give each other looks as Adrien flamboyantly gestures at his model. His cravat is undeniably tied perfectly, but so is Genoveva Ibrahim’s. In fact, the two have been neck and neck through the entire challenge, no pun intended. He obviously knows his stuff, and she has obviously studied up.
One of the judges clears her throat, then leans forward to speak into the mike. “Oriental, Mathematical. What comes next?”
“Osbaldeston,” Adrien replies immediately, giving Genoveva a jaunty wink.
The judges commiserate. The second asks, “Ms. Ibrahim, what publication is that from, and what is the publication date?”
“Necktietania, 1818,” she responds assuredly. Adrien’s eyes widen as he instinctively shakes his head.
“Mr. Fitzgerald?”
“Neckcloth-i-tania. Not necktie,” he blurts out quickly.
It’s a silent two seconds of the judges speaking together. Finally, the first judge leans forward again. “Congratulations on your advance in rank, Mr. Seven.”
