Quiz question heard on NPR's Sunday Puzzle today, Between the Lines:

The speaker names two things in the same category. Name the only other thing in that category that fits between those two things alphabetically. Example: Blue and indigo. The answer is green (colors of the rainbow).

One of the pairs was Deep Space Nine, Next Generation.

What would you answer?

The Sunday Puzzle on NPR today was “think of a famous K-Pop star. Now take that name and convert it into Cyrillic. Then every other letter change to a Roman numeral based on its position in the Cyrillic alphabet, add those numbers up and that's the number of stars in the Milky Way. What is that number?” At least that’s what I heard. #npr #SundayPuzzle
