WAMC's Ian Pickus and resident quizzer Mike Nothnagel are either over- or underprepared.
Last week's challenge

Answer: HYDRO and STEAM
THIS WEEK'S CATEGORY: OVER/UNDER
On-air questions: OK, Ian: a couple of months ago, I made you do some math problems. I promise I’m not going to do that again, but each question this week does have a numerical answer. Instead of you giving me the exact answer, I’ll give you an over/under for the answer and you choose “over” if you think the actual number is higher than the one I give you and you choose “under” if you think the actual number is lower than the one I give you.
