  • For JN136, the question is presented for 20 seconds at the very beginning of the episode, before the cold opening. Both the question and the answer are presented for 35 seconds at the very end, after the post-epilogue commercial break.
  • Beginning in JN139, the question is presented for 35 seconds before the ending theme. The answer is presented for 20 seconds after the post-credits commercial break.
