Game: ten-question 'prayer in the Bible' quiz
The hosts take a ten-question Bible quiz on prayer: Abimelech (he would live), Isaac prayed because Rebekah was barren, Eli thought Hannah was drunk, Elisha's servant saw horses and chariots of fire, the Shunammite woman's child (they wrongly pick 'count the sneezes' — the answer key says 'call the Shunammite woman'), Elisha prayed blindness on the Arameans, Hezekiah was healed, Job's fortunes were restored double, Gabriel answered Daniel's prayer of confession, and Jonah prayed from the belly of the fish. They score 9 of 10; the quiz page says it has been taken 32,000 times since October 2004 with a 69% average. The 'sneeze' miss becomes a running joke about trusting Boova's intuition.
