Buzzer Check at The Merry Wildcard Trivia Studio

4 contestants take their podiums in the round at The Merry Wildcard Trivia Studio, a ring of podiums circling the host's platform, numbered 1 to 4 clockwise from the host's mark. Work out who stands where, and everything about their turn. It is a full circle, so podium 4 sits right beside podium 1. Seated facing the center, "left" runs clockwise: the contestant on your immediate left is the next podium clockwise.
