take the first two places in the semifinal stage of this competition. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
Both teams playing tonight lost their first quarterfinal matches, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
which means that the winners will earn themselves one last | 0:00:41 | 0:00:44 | |

Although their first quarterfinal | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
saw them trip up against Edinburgh University, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
they did manage to earn an impressive clean sweep of | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
paintings on bacchanalia, which suggests | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
they know how to enjoy themselves on their nights out. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |

-1867. -Was it '65 it started? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |

1863. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
No, it was 1860, 1861 and 1862. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |

You get a set of bonuses, Balliol, on Mendelian genetics. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Firstly for five - Mendel crossed pea plants that were homozygous | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
for round seeds with those that were homozygous for wrinkled seeds. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
What two-word term denotes that technique? | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |

Secondly, what term denotes Mendel's second law of inheritance? | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
It's based on the observation that crossing pea plants, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
which are heterozygous, for two traits, results in traits | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
being segregated as they would in two parallel, monohybrid crosses. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |
-I don't know the name of it. -How's your GCSE biology? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |

Allelisation. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:31 | |
No, it's independent assortment. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |

Could be. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Davis. Bette Davis. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
Correct. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
Lupino is regarded as the first female director of a mainstream | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
US film noir, after the release in 1953 of which film, based on | 0:07:48 | 0:07:53 | |

For ten points, I need both the original English titles. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
I Want To Hold Your Hand and She Loves Me. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:42 | |

"the existence of a particle that can never be observed." | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
These words of Wolfgang Pauli refer to what particle - | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
wrongly, as it transpired, in terms of detectability? | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
It's going to be neutrino, probably. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:25 | |
-Neutrinos. -Correct. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:27 | |
Pauli was also involved in establishing the CPT theorem, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
which implies that simultaneously changing three aspects of | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
a system leaves the results of quantum field theory unchanged. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
For what do the letters C, P and T stand? | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
Charge, parity and time. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:43 | |
-Charge, parity and time. -Correct. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:45 | |
And finally, Pauli formulated the exclusion principle, by which no | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
two identical particles in a system can occupy the same quantum state. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
This applies to which broad class of particles? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
-Fermions. -Fermions. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Correct. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:00 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |

For your music starter, | 0:14:06 | 0:14:08 | |
you're going to hear part of a cantata by a Russian composer. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |

DARK, SWEEPING MUSIC | 0:14:15 | 0:14:17 | |

No, you might be able to hear a little more, Birmingham, I think. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
Mussorgsky? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
No, that was Prokofiev. It was Battle On The Ice. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
It originated as a collaboration with the director Sergei Eisenstein. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
So we're going to take the music bonuses in a moment or two. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
Ten points at stake, fingers on the buzzers, please. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |

..by the German cleric Johann Martin Schleyer | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
and first published in 1879? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
With a name meaning "world speech", | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
it gained many thousands of enthusiasts | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
before the advent of Esperanto. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |

-Gloria. -Gloria is correct, yes. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
Now, you'll recall that for your music starter, | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
you heard Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky cantata. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Your music bonuses, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:52 | |
you're going to hear three more excerpts from scores by composers | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
known for their association with a particular director. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:59 | |
In each case, I want the composer of the score you hear, | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
and the director of the film for which it was written. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |

David Lean, and... | 0:16:38 | 0:16:40 | |
..erm... | 0:16:43 | 0:16:44 | |
John Williams. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
David Lean and John Williams. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:48 | |
David Lean was the director - it was Lawrence Of Arabia - | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
but it was composed by Maurice Jarre. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
So you don't get any points there. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:54 | |
Secondly... | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |

-Gerard Manley Hopkins. -Correct. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Hopkins said that his main aim in poetry was to find a way to | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
describe the unique essence or inner nature of a person, place or thing. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
What term did he invent to refer to this particular concept? | 0:18:19 | 0:18:23 | |

-I couldn't say. -2,750. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Kilometres. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:45 | |
You're just outside, it's 2,370, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
