(Buzz) PMS? (Buzz) PMS? (The guys look confused.) (They stare at her.) (We Are The Champions by Queen plays as the team celebrate in slow motion and Sheldon puts his head in his hands. AA, if you can answer correctly, the match is yours. And yoghurt. But the rules require four, so may I introduce, the third floor janitor, he lady from the lunchroom, and, my Spanish is not good, either her son or her butcher. Come to play? He only has a problem when they're one on one and smell nice. Howard: How about the perpetual motion squad? Howard: Okay, we're going to need a strong fourth for our team. I decline to provide one. In the sack. Leonard: She's in. Sheldon: Army Ants. Sheldon: Hang on, hang on a second, that's not our answer. Sheldon: Leslie Winkle? Sheldon: Well that's a delightful little story, but our arrangement was that you sit here and not say anything, I answer the questions. Sheldon: Well, I'm sorry, is the winner of the physics bowl the team that has the most fun? Sheldon: Who? Sheldon: Who? Third Floor Janitor: Here I am janitor, in former Soviet Union I am physicist.

Summary: The guys decide to compete in a university quiz called physics bowl after the strong competitors drop out, but Sheldon's showboating is too much, and they eject him from the team. Sheldon, upset, vows to form his own team and compete against them. The guys, in need of a fourth member, ask Leslie Winkle. She at first declines, but accepts on hearing they are opposing Sheldon, who has often criticized her research and gender. The guys name themselves PMS (Perpetual Motion Squad, an unintentional pun on premenstrual syndrome). Sheldon's team is named AA (Army Ants, an unintentional pun on Alcoholics Anonymous), and comprises Sheldon (who forbids answers from his teammates), the 3rd floor janitor, the lunch lady, and her son (or possibly her butcher). PMS win when Sheldon, unable to answer the last question, refuses to accept the janitor's answer, which is actually correct: he explains that despite working as a janitor in America, he was a physicist in the former Soviet Union.
