These audio clips are from the Hot Ones YouTube show, in which celebrity guests eat hot wings. In the show, the guest is faced with several wings of varying heat; the challenge is to see how much they can take. Teams had to find the shows, determine which sauce was being consumed in the audio clip, its spiciness in Scoville units (as shown in the video), take the log of that, round down, and index into the guest's name:
| Guest | Sauce consumed | 🔥 | log(🔥) | floor(log(🔥)) | letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Anthony Rizzo | cholula | 3600 | 3.556302501 | 3 | t |
| Jim Gaffigan | death | 357000 | 5.552668216 | 5 | a |
