Info: In the wild, the ants recognize enemies by their pheromones. The organizers of the game used this natural ability to make the ants 'ant-agonize' each other, by feeding the Japanese team with Kagoshima pork and the Brazilian team with spare ribs in order to alter the ants' pheromones.

Apparently the match ended in a draw although the actual score was never disclosed.
