**Natalie Pistunovich:** Legacy?
**Mat Ryer:** Well, that would probably fall under the existing code...
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Okay. Oh, man... I'm out of ideas. Um...
**Mat Ryer:** Tough one, isn't it?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Not the people, not the long hours, not the bad practice... Nothing about management then? Did we say that? Is that management practices, that also doesn't work?
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. That one wasn't up there either, was it? What are we going to say? Or should we time you out?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Does that mean we get to keep the life? \[laughter\]
**Mat Ryer:** No, it means the other team will get a chance to steal...
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Right. Bad documentation?
**Mat Ryer:** Okay, let's go for that then. Bad documentation. Gophers say... \[fail sound\] No. But what a great guess...! Okay, so now the other team have a chance to steal. Jon, I'll accept your answer after you confer with your lovely team.
**Jon Calhoun:** So I'm assuming that if they voted the podcasts, that they would have filtered that one out, right? \[laughter\] Jerod wouldn't have let that fly.
**Mat Ryer:** Didn't take conferences out
**Katie Hockman:** My idea is like Twitter, Reddit, Hacker News, that kind of -- like the social media aspect. What do you guys think?
**Jon Calhoun:** I was actually thinking Twitter, but Natalie used it for the best things about tech. But I think it's kind of like people as well - they can be good and bad.
**Rob Findley:** They can be both. I think that's good. I was also gonna say --
**Jon Calhoun:** Do we go with like social media, or do we want a specific --
**Katie Hockman:** I would hope that they would take either, if that was actually the answer.
**Rob Findley:** Sounds good.
**Jon Calhoun:** Okay. So let's go with social media.
**Mat Ryer:** Okay. Social media. Let's find out. Gophers say... \[fail sound\] No, they didn't say that, so you don't steal the points. That means that team zero keeps those lovely points... But let's find out, what was number two on this one? It was "There's too much to learn." There's too much to learn in this old t...
Okay, I don't know, I probably wouldn't have guessed that one. I thought there were some great answers there, everyone... How's it going so far? Are we having a fun quiz?
**Natalie Pistunovich:** Yaay!
**Rob Findley:** Wooh!
**Steve Francia:** This is fun.
**Jon Calhoun:** I'm realizing that I do not resonate with all the people who took the survey. \[laughter\] We've missed the top two answers several times now, I feel like.
**Mat Ryer:** Yeah. It's surprising; you learn things. It is a surprise. Let's check in with the scores, shall we? Please? Team zero has got 160 points. Just slightly ahead of team one, who have 157. This is so tight, you won't believe it... But the next round is Double Points Round! Round six. Let's go!
**Break:** \[34:42\]
**Mat Ryer:** Okey-doke, this is the final round for double points. Anyone could win the amazing prize. Any one of the three of you can win this... And then you have to share it, which I'm sure will be no problem.
The question for round six is - we asked people to describe the Go language with just one word. Describe the Go language with just a single, solitary word. What did people say? Julie and Rob, you're going head to head, starting with Rob. What do you think people said, Rob?
**Rob Findley:** \[36:06\] I think people said "simple".
**Mat Ryer:** Do you know? Let's see if people did say "simple".
**Rob Findley:** I hope.
**Mat Ryer:** Gophers say... \[win sound\] Yes, and it's the top answer. So it means you take control of the board straight away there... And we're over to Jon. You've got three lives, there are three ones to guess. The top answer is already taken. Simple. What else did people use to describe the Go language, Jon? One ...
**Jon Calhoun:** I'm gonna go with verbose.
**Mat Ryer:** Verbose. Okay. And just for anyone that doesn't know, verbose is when you use lots of extra words that really aren't necessary and you don't need, to try and explain something to somebody, or it could be in documentation... And essentially, you're using way too many words that's unnecessary, essentially.....
**Jon Calhoun:** This is what happens when Jerod tells you we have 11 minutes...
**Mat Ryer:** Oh, no, 11 minutes to fill? Oh, okay. I won't carry that joke on then for 11 minutes... That would have been gold.
**Natalie Pistunovich:** About being verbose...
**Mat Ryer:** Yup. Okay, a good bit of comedy, everyone. We're all equally guilty. Katie, what do you think?
**Katie Hockman:** Is verbose on the board?
**Jon Calhoun:** I was gonna say...
**Mat Ryer:** Oh yeah, I genuinely forgot what we were doing... \[fail sound\] \[laughter\]
**Katie Hockman:** I'm gonna assume no... Okay...
**Mat Ryer:** No, unfortunately... It should be now, after that... So unfortunately - yeah, Jon, you lose a life. Thanks, Katie... Hopefully, we can edit that, so I don't look like an idiot. \[fail sound\]
**Katie Hockman:** No worries...
**Mat Ryer:** No, we can't apparently... \[laughter\] Okay, Katie...
**Katie Hockman:** Alright, I'm gonna say "fast".
**Mat Ryer:** Fast. The Go language with just one word - fast. Gophers say... \[win sound\] Yes, indeed. It was in at spot number three there. Nine people said it, so you get 18 points. By the way, for the "simple" answer, because 25 people said it, you've got 50 points there. So there's a lot of points on this board. ...
**Rob Findley:** How about "concrete"?
**Mat Ryer:** Concrete. Oh, okay, concrete. Let's see if people said that; that'd be interesting. Gophers say... \[fail sound\] No, obviously not, Rob. But good answer. But you lose a life, I'm afraid. Jon, over to you now.
