so fingers on the buzzers, here's your first starter for ten. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |

Human development indicator. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
No... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Human development index. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:50 | |
Correct. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:52 | 0:02:53 | |
I'm afraid you lose five points there, Wolfson, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
for that incorrect interruption. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
Right, so you get the first set of bonuses, Edinburgh. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |

-David Hume. -..on its publication in 1738, he... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
Well, it was David Hume, yes. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
I could have finished the question for you. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
Secondly, for five points. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Which Scottish philosopher agreed with Hume that | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
"Ideas about the world are based on reasoning that cannot be proved"? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
In 1764, he published | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |

or "the giants' dance"? | 0:04:05 | 0:04:06 | |

It became independent in 1968. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
1968... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:36 | |
It's not New Caledonia, is it? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
No, it's a Dutch statesman, so it would be, like... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
Martinique, maybe? | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
Martinique? | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |

These bonuses, Wolfson, are on astronomy. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
Using the Sun as a base unit of mass, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Jupiter weighs in at almost exactly one milli-Sun. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:52 | |
In the same way, | 0:05:52 | 0:05:53 | |
using the standard SI prefixes attached to the word "Sun", | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
give me the units missing in the following. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |

Giga-Suns? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
No, they're mega-Suns. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
And, finally, the mass of Earth's moon is approximately 35 what? | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
-Nano? -Nano. -Nano, I'd say. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
-We had Micro. -I think nano. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
Yeah. Nano. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:35 | |
Nano-Suns is correct, yes. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:36 | |

measures the probability of whether an observed result | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
can be attributed to chance? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
The smaller its value... | 0:06:50 | 0:06:53 | |
P-value. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:54 | |
P-value is right. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
So you retake the lead, and you get a set of bonuses | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |

For your picture starter, | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
you'll see a map of some of the states of India, highlighted | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
to reflect the proportion of those states' populations | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
that speak a specific primary language. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
The darker the highlighting, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
the higher the proportion of speakers of that language | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
within that state. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
For ten points, I want to you to identify the language. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
Urdu. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:19 | |
No. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Gujarati? | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
No. It's Punjabi. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:24 | |
OK, so we'll take the picture bonuses in a moment or two, | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
but here's another starter question. Ten points for this. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Which element of the platinum group is alloyed with platinum | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
Your picture bonuses are three more maps | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |

the proportion of each state's population | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
that speaks a specific scheduled language of India | 0:08:51 | 0:08:54 | |
as a first language. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
In each case, all you have to do | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
is to work out which language each map refers to. Firstly... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-I would say Tamil. -Tamil. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Tamil. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |

I'll accept that. It's Marathi, yes, or Marati, yes. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:22 | |
Finally... | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |
-That would be Bengali. -Yeah. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |

such that M is equal to the transpose of M? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Is it...? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:11 | |
-Inverse? Or...? -Try that. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Inverse? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:17 | |
No, it's a symmetric matrix. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:19 | |
