Do viewers at home get to
look at reference material? I assume not, since it
would be trivially easy to stump the contestant just by
turning to any page in the encyclopedia and giving an
insubstantial but identifying clue. If not, the answer to the
second question is: not long at all. In either case, it
hinges on the meaning of "work
with."
