we now know that the first team through to the semifinals is | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
Emmanuel College, Cambridge. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
The institutions playing tonight | 0:00:37 | 0:00:38 | |
both lost their first quarterfinal matches, | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
so while the winners will get | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
one last opportunity to make the semifinals, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
it's the minibus of broken dreams for the losers. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
The story so far for the team from Warwick University includes | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
a convincing defeat of the University of Liverpool in round one | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
and East London University in round two. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
Their first quarterfinal, though, was a less happy experience when, | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
despite an early lead, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:03 | |
they lost to Emmanuel College, Cambridge, by 90 points to 200. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |
With an accumulated total of 520, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |

with 210 points to Sheffield University's 130. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Round two was even easier for them when they sent | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Oriel College, Oxford home by a margin of 265 points to 70. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
But then 70 was all they could muster when they were defeated | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
by Corpus Christi College, Oxford, | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
on 250 points, in their first quarterfinal. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:04 | |
No doubt intending to recover their earlier form, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |

Meanings of what word link a South American monkey | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |

that produces a correct result | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
in spite of an error in the calculation, | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
a glaring blunder, especially an amusing one, | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
and in the Harry Potter books, | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
a magical letter sent to signify extreme anger... | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
A howler. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:02 | |

In the latter, it's the location of | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
Orson Welles' speech about cuckoo clocks. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
So it's the big, um, it's the wheel. What's the wheel called? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
The big Ferris wheel. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
Oh, in the parks, oh... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
Prada. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
-Prater? -Prater. -Yeah. -Prater. -Prater. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
No, it was the Giant Ferris Wheel. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
That was what we were looking for, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
not the name of the park, for the landmark. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
And, finally, which building features in the 1957 film | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
An Affair To Remember, the 1993 Sleepless In Seattle, | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |

"aiming to show the limits of human reasoning | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
"and at the same time to justify the use of our intellect..." | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
Kant? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:25 | |

Sayers' fiction featured which author of detective stories, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
based to some extent on herself? | 0:04:40 | 0:04:42 | |
Sayers eventually married her to another of her creations, | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
Lord Peter Wimsey. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
-Is this another detective author? -A female detective. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |

No, no, no, that's Agatha Christie. Who's Dorothy L Sayers? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-She's famous for something. -I don't know. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
She's famous for Peter Wimpole, actually. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Sorry, we don't know. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
It was Harriet Vane. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
Secondly for five point, Sayers set one of her Wimsey novels | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |

See it, want it? I don't know. | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |

-Business of, I think it might be... -Business of aspiration? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
The business of aspiration? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:38 | |
No, it's "it pays to advertise." | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Oh... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:42 | |
And finally, Sayers' translation of what work was praised by | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
Umberto Eco as the best in English, | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
"in at least partially preserving the hendecasyllables and the rhyme?" | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |

In each case, the surname of the former | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
is the forename of the latter. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
I simply need the shared name. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
So, for example, Brian Thomas and Thomas Kuhn would give Thomas. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
-Understand? -Yeah. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
OK, five points for this - two Welsh artists and siblings born in | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |

Is that Martin Rees? | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
I can't remember if he was Astronomer Royal. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-You think Martin? -Yeah, I think so. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
-Martin. -It was John Martin and Martin Rees. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:15 | |
And finally, the German surrealist who painted Ubu Imperator | 0:07:15 | 0:07:18 | |
and an Austrian physicist who gives his surname | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
to a number measuring speed relative to the speed of sound? | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
Is that Mach? But it's Ernst Mach and it must be Max Ernst. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
Yeah. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
Ernst. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
Ernst is correct, Max Ernst and Ernst Mach. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
APPLAUSE We're going to take a picture round. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:37 | |
For your picture starter, | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |

Your picture bonuses are three more maps showing battles | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
associated with a particular royal commander. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Firstly, which royal figure | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
commanded at both the battles shown here? | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
Top one's Culloden, isn't it? | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
Is it? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:13 | |
Near Inverness. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
Yeah, so if it's a royal figure, it's going to be... | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-Bonnie Prince... -..James. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
-Or could be Prince Charlie. -Yeah. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Or was it Macbeth? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:25 | |
-I think we better have an answer, please. -Bonnie Prince Charlie. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |

Secondly, which future King of England commanded | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
at the battles shown here? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:37 | |
-Is that...? -Edward IV, I would say. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Isn't that Henry V, Battle of Shrewsbury? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Wait, no, it's not, no. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Or Henry IV, is it? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
It's in Shakespeare's Henry IV, when he was... Maybe not, no. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
Let's have it, please. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |

-Lewes and Evesham. -Oh, of course. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
And finally, who was the principal royal commander at these battles? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
Oh... | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
Would that be, if they're all grouped up like that, Charles I? | 0:09:09 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yeah. -OK. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
Yeah, Cornwall as well. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
I can't quite figure out what the Cornwall one is. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:19 | |
Charles I. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Correct. APPLAUSE | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
Right, ten points for this. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |

General relativity. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
Correct. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
Right, these bonuses are on ancient philosophy, Bristol. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
Thought to be the first Western philosopher to deny | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
that the universe owes its existence to God, | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
who was the first of the so-called Milesian school of philosophers? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:55 | |
Well, Thales is of Miletus. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:57 | |
Yeah, it's the right place. | 0:09:57 | 0:09:59 | |
Yeah. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
Thales? | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
Yeah, Thales Miletus. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:05 | |
Correct. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
What six-word term denotes the theories based on the concept | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
that everything in the universe can be understood in terms of | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
a single substance? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
In the case of Thales, that substance was water. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-Is that going to be monism? -Yeah. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
-Monism. -Correct. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:21 | |
Which pupil of Thales challenged his suggestion | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
that Earth was supported by a sea of water, | 0:10:24 | 0:10:26 | |
instead declaring it to be an object hanging in space? | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
-Pupil of Thales...? -Democritus? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
I was thinking of Heraclitus. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
-But it might be Zeno as well. -You're more educated in it than me. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:39 | |
It could be Democritus. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |
-Democritus? -Come on, let's have it, please. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:44 | |
-Democritus. -No, it's Anaximander. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
Ten points for this. The Penguin boardwalk and | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
the limestone quarry are features of which island in Table Bay? | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |

These bonuses are on biochemistry, Bristol. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
Name the monosaccharides | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
that constitute the following disaccharides. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
I need two answers in each case. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
First, maltose? | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
That's glucose and sucrose. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
Yes, I think so. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
Glucose and sucrose. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
-No, it's glucose and glucose. -Oh, yeah... | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
Secondly, lactose? | 0:11:25 | 0:11:26 | |
Galactose and glucose? | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
Glucose, galactose. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Correct. And finally, sucrose? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
-Fructose... -And glucose. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
They are very similar, these things. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
They are! | 0:11:42 | 0:11:43 | |
Fructose and gluctose. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
No, clearly it's just a slip of the tongue, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
but it is glucose and fructose. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:49 | |
So I can't give you the point. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:50 | |

So you could get treble 20, 120, and then you've got 38 left to go, | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
so 12 and double... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
