See our Guinea Pig wet his pants.

0:00:080:00:10

Floppy pink goo goes berserk!

0:00:120:00:15

And will Naomi, Sam and Mark

turn out to be total dunderheads?

0:00:170:00:20

You'll need to run your mind

at full power to win the title...

0:00:200:00:23

Ultimate Brain!

0:00:230:00:26

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:300:00:33

Welcome to Ultimate Brain!

0:00:330:00:35

I am on a mission

to search for true genius.

0:00:350:00:38

I'm looking for cunning, wit,

intelligence, intuition,

0:00:380:00:42

great thick noodles

working on full power!

0:00:420:00:45

My name...

0:00:450:00:47

is Doctor Brain!

0:00:470:00:49

So these people over here

think they're pretty clever.

0:00:510:00:55

And they will be battling it out

for the ultimate prize - honour!

0:00:550:00:59

So let's find out who they are!

Let's meet the teams.

0:00:590:01:02

This team has called themselves...

0:01:020:01:05

Aleena, Connor and Liz.

0:01:050:01:07

Let's see if their minds

are as sharp as their swords.

0:01:070:01:09

Yeah, right.

0:01:090:01:10

How you doing, Green Team?

0:01:100:01:12

Good.

0:01:120:01:13

Where are you from?

Birmingham.

0:01:130:01:15

Birmingham! I know Birmingham.

0:01:150:01:17

Isn't there, in Birmingham, a giant

road that's made out of pasta?

0:01:170:01:22

No.

No.

Huh?

0:01:220:01:24

Never heard of that.

Never heard of it?

0:01:240:01:26

Spaghetti Junction!

0:01:260:01:28

Spaghetti Junction!

0:01:280:01:29

That's the kind of humour you're

dealing with in this show, folks.

0:01:290:01:32

The Green Team!

0:01:320:01:34

APPLAUSE

0:01:340:01:36

Our next team has chosen

to be known as...

0:01:360:01:40

Ella, Zachariya and Gabe.

0:01:400:01:41

Are they as bright

as the sun's rays,

0:01:410:01:43

or is there something

fishy about them?

0:01:430:01:45

Let's find out!

0:01:450:01:46

Where are you from, Yellow Team?

Roath.

0:01:460:01:48

Roath! Now, is that in Wales?

Yes.

Yeah.

0:01:480:01:51

Lovely - do you know what

the Welsh is for "brain"?

0:01:510:01:54

No.

No? What about head?

0:01:540:01:56

Um...

0:01:560:01:57

Pen.

0:01:570:01:58

Oh, so I could be Doctor Pen then.

0:01:580:02:02

In Welsh, we'll try that.

I quite like that.

0:02:020:02:04

Doctor Pen! Thank you very much.

The Yellow Team!

0:02:040:02:07

APPLAUSE

0:02:070:02:09

And finally,

the Blue-min Brilliant Team,

0:02:090:02:12

stars of

Naomi's Nightmares Of Nature

0:02:120:02:14

and Sam and Mark's

Big Friday Wind-Up.

0:02:140:02:16

They might be great presenters,

0:02:160:02:18

but have they actually got

butternut squash for brains?

0:02:180:02:20

Now, I know that least two of you

0:02:200:02:23

started out as Pop Idols,

didn't you?

0:02:230:02:25

We did, yeah, long time ago.

Yep, Naomi.

0:02:250:02:28

THEY LAUGH

0:02:280:02:29

I want you to answer the question.

0:02:290:02:32

Bearing in mind that I,

being an ape, am extremely strong,

0:02:320:02:35

who's better-looking -

me or Simon Cowell?

0:02:350:02:38

You.

Definitely you, in the flesh.

0:02:380:02:41

You've got a lower hair line

than him.

Have I?

0:02:410:02:44

You're not going to sing today,

are you?

BOTH:

No.

0:02:450:02:47

Woo-hoo!

0:02:470:02:48

Fantastic!

0:02:480:02:50

All I can say is

0:02:500:02:51

be brave, be brilliant, be clever

0:02:510:02:54

and above all...

0:02:540:02:55

Try your flipping best, all right?

0:02:550:02:58

Let's get on with the show.

0:02:580:03:00

Let's fire up those neurons

with a nice simple question!

0:03:000:03:04

Come and see what I've got

in my laboratory.

0:03:040:03:09

Now, what I have here,

0:03:090:03:10

I have this extraordinary sort

of runny pink liquid stuff here.

0:03:100:03:16

It's rather weird.

Can you see it moves very slowly?

0:03:160:03:19

Now, what we also have is a speaker

head, just an ordinary speaker,

0:03:190:03:23

which can make noise and music.

0:03:230:03:25

We're going to pour the pink goo

into the speaker,

0:03:250:03:28

make a noise through it

0:03:280:03:30

and find out what happens

to the liquid.

0:03:300:03:32

Does the liquid...

0:03:320:03:33

A - swirl around in a uniform

direction inside the speaker?

0:03:330:03:37

B - splash out of the speaker?

0:03:370:03:39

C - dance around in the speaker

like little monsters?

0:03:390:03:42

Or D - something else entirely?

0:03:420:03:45

So, now, time to think

of your answers, please.

0:03:450:03:48

Have a little think.

0:03:480:03:49

I think D.

0:03:500:03:51

They're all working

their brains hard.

0:03:510:03:54

They need to think carefully

0:03:540:03:56

about the unusual properties

0:03:560:03:57

of this strange fluid.

0:03:570:03:59

Let's see your answers please, now!

0:04:000:04:03

It's a split decision!

0:04:040:04:05

The Yellow Rays and Blue-Min

Brilliant Team have opted for C,

0:04:050:04:08

dance around like little monsters,

0:04:080:04:10

while the Green Musketeers have

gone for D, something else.

0:04:100:04:13

What is it that you think

is going to happen?

0:04:130:04:15

It might splash a little bit,

0:04:150:04:17

but it will probably move

up and down with the speaker.

0:04:170:04:20

It could turn into foam.

Oh, yeah.

0:04:200:04:22

Oh, so you think it might sort of

0:04:220:04:24

bubble and splutter

and sort of foam and turn into

0:04:240:04:27

this sort of big, bubbly goo thing.

0:04:270:04:29

Yeah.

Oh, I see - that could be

interesting, couldn't it?

0:04:290:04:32

No, you're confident, aren't you?

Why are you so confident?

0:04:320:04:35

We're right.

0:04:350:04:37

Exactly.

0:04:370:04:38

And they said the same

and they seem pretty brainy.

0:04:380:04:41

Oh!

0:04:410:04:42

So you're copying the Yellows.

0:04:420:04:45

No, just saying, just saying,

just pointing it out.

0:04:450:04:47

Yellow Team,

0:04:470:04:49

you think C as well.

Why do you think it's going to be C?

0:04:490:04:51

Because with the sound, it doesn't

always come out in one place.

0:04:510:04:54

It might come out all the other times

so then there'll be certain blasts

0:04:540:04:58

which would lift some things up

and the others stay down.

0:04:580:05:00

He's pretty good.

That's a very good answer.

0:05:000:05:03

We were going to say that.

You were going to say that.

0:05:030:05:05

But you didn't think of it, did you?

No.

No. No.

0:05:050:05:08

Because you was too busy thinking

about your hair, that's why.

0:05:080:05:12

Too busy thinking about your hair.

0:05:120:05:14

Let us do the experiment!

0:05:140:05:16

I'm pouring...ugh!

0:05:180:05:20

Look at that. Weird, weird, weird.

0:05:200:05:22

In it goes - so, we have our liquid

inside the speaker.

0:05:220:05:26

Let's have a little bit of music!

0:05:260:05:28

DANCE MUSIC PLAYS

0:05:280:05:31

Whoa, what was that? Like a little

mouth going, "Blah, blah..."

0:05:310:05:36

Try another one.

0:05:360:05:38

Eugh! It's like a monster's

going "feed me!"

0:05:400:05:42

Ew.

0:05:420:05:44

Oh, that one's escaping!

0:05:450:05:47

Where's it going?

0:05:470:05:48

It's climbing out!

0:05:500:05:52

Get back! Get back in!

0:05:520:05:54

Get back in,

I command you to get back in.

0:05:540:05:58

Do you think you're cleverer

than Sam and Mark?

0:05:590:06:02

Look! This one's gone over!

0:06:050:06:07

He's escaped!

0:06:070:06:08

"I'm over the wall!"

0:06:080:06:10

This one's coming.

0:06:100:06:11

Oh, wow.

0:06:110:06:13

Don't come near me!

0:06:130:06:15

Well, there we go.

0:06:150:06:17

If there's one thing

we learned about that experiment,

0:06:170:06:19

it's that it was right weird!

0:06:190:06:21

The cornflour and water

0:06:220:06:24

forms something known as

a non-Newtonian fluid.

0:06:240:06:26

If we leave it alone,

it acts like a runny liquid,

0:06:260:06:29

but if we try to move it,

it acts like a solid.

0:06:290:06:31

As the loud speaker vibrates,

it pushes and pulls on the mixture

0:06:310:06:35

around 100 times a second!

0:06:350:06:36

The result is these weird

little monster-like blobs.

0:06:360:06:39

They're brilliant, aren't they?

0:06:390:06:41

So the correct answer was C,

0:06:420:06:44

it dances around

like little monsters.

0:06:440:06:46

However, you had D,

didn't you, Green Team?

0:06:460:06:48

Unfortunate, I liked your answer

with the foaming and the bubbling

0:06:480:06:51

and all that, but unfortunately,

it was wrong.

0:06:510:06:54

But the Blues and the Yellows

got it right.

0:06:540:06:56

That means you get ten points each.

0:06:560:06:57

Well done, Blue and Yellow!

0:06:570:06:59

Next up, the Creative Challenge -

0:07:030:07:05

The Ramp Of Doom.

0:07:050:07:07

So, how can we stop this car,

once it has started

0:07:070:07:11

freewheeling down this ramp,

0:07:110:07:13

from rolling, rolling down

from the precipice...

0:07:130:07:17

DRAMATIC MUSIC

0:07:170:07:18

..into the Pool of Doom?

0:07:180:07:22

We gave our teams three days

and a budget of £50

0:07:220:07:26

to come up with their answers.

0:07:260:07:29

The object of this challenge

is to stop the car in the red zone.

0:07:290:07:33

The rules are...

0:07:330:07:34

One - the wheels of the

car cannot be altered.

0:07:340:07:37

Two - the lane cannot be altered.

0:07:370:07:39

Three - you can only initiate

your plan once your car reaches

0:07:390:07:42

the bottom of the slope.

0:07:420:07:44

So, who is going to be in charge

of driving this fine vehicle

0:07:440:07:48

down this beautiful ramp?

0:07:480:07:49

Well, I'm not doing it,

and Lewis Hamilton was too chicken.

0:07:490:07:55

Born in a test tube.

0:07:550:07:57

Powered by cake.

0:07:570:08:00

He laughs in the face

of health and safety.

0:08:000:08:03

Here to challenge fear in a sort of

orange tracksuit and a helmet,

0:08:030:08:09

and a really stupid face -

look at him.

0:08:090:08:12

Please welcome Mr Guinea Pig.

0:08:120:08:16

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:08:160:08:19

What's this?

0:08:260:08:27

Looking good, GP.

Yeah.

0:08:270:08:29

Are you up for this?

Not really, no.

0:08:290:08:32

What do you think, Dr Gabe?

0:08:320:08:34

Does he look good?

0:08:340:08:35

No.

Do you wish you were going

on that?

0:08:350:08:37

Yes.

Really?

Get him to do it.

0:08:370:08:40

No! No!

No, it's got to be you, my friend.

0:08:400:08:43

Only you have the kneepads

and the shorts and the helmet.

0:08:430:08:45

And insurance, yeah.

0:08:450:08:46

Yes, only you are

dumb enough to do it.

0:08:460:08:48

THEY LAUGH

0:08:480:08:49

First of all, let us find out what

happens when we put the Guinea Pig

0:08:490:08:53

in the car down the ramp

with no plan whatsoever!

0:08:530:08:56

Sounds like fun, right?

0:08:560:08:58

How are you feeling up there?

0:08:580:08:59

Not very well.

0:08:590:09:01

Are you ready?

I have to go to the bathroom.

0:09:010:09:03

In fact, I think I've already gone.

0:09:030:09:05

THEY LAUGH

0:09:050:09:06

Shall we count him down?

Are we ready?

0:09:060:09:08

No. ALL:

Three! Two!

No, no, no.

0:09:080:09:10

One! Go!

0:09:100:09:11

MR GUINEA PIG SCREAMS

0:09:110:09:12

This is mental.

0:09:120:09:14

HE CONTINUES SCREAMING

0:09:140:09:17

My pants are wet.

0:09:170:09:18

So we've discovered what happens

when you don't have a plan -

0:09:200:09:22

it goes wrong.

0:09:220:09:24

Well, let's find out now

what the Green Team's plan is.

0:09:240:09:27

The Green Musketeers are Aleena,

Connor and Liz from Birmingham.

0:09:270:09:32

Aleena wants to invent

a machine that turns pollution

0:09:320:09:34

into new forms of energy.

0:09:340:09:36

Her powers of invention may

come in very useful here.

0:09:360:09:39

Do you have a plan?

0:09:390:09:41

Yes, we do. We've got a parachute

0:09:410:09:44

so then the Guinea Pig

will open the parachute...

Yes.

0:09:440:09:47

..and the air will go into the

parachute and hopefully stop it.

0:09:470:09:50

Ah, so you're after a bit of

resistance?

Yeah.

0:09:500:09:53

And you're hoping that is going

to act as brakes.

0:09:530:09:55

What? Do you think a parachute

is going to stop a car?

0:09:550:09:58

Yes.

But when somebody

jumps out of a plane,

0:09:580:10:00

they deploy a parachute,

does it stop them in mid-air?

0:10:000:10:02

Yeah, but then it slows them down

when they go down, innit?

0:10:020:10:05

Yeah, it slows them down

straight into the water.

0:10:050:10:07

The Green Musketeers hope

0:10:070:10:09

that the parachute deployed during

the run

0:10:090:10:11

will create wind resistance

and act as a brake,

0:10:110:10:14

slowing the car to a stop

before it rolls into the pool.

0:10:140:10:17

Well, that's the theory,

but will it work?

0:10:170:10:20

Let us begin.

0:10:200:10:21

ALL:

Three! Two! One!

0:10:210:10:24

Blast off!

0:10:240:10:26

GREEN TEAM:

Now!

0:10:260:10:27

Did it work?

0:10:290:10:30

MR GUINEA PIG SCREAMS

0:10:290:10:30

No!

0:10:300:10:32

Unlucky.

0:10:320:10:34

Didn't quite catch air, did he?

0:10:340:10:36

Poor Guinea Pig, he's wet again.

0:10:360:10:39

Oh, dear.

0:10:390:10:40

Oh! He's fallen over!

0:10:400:10:42

LAUGHTER

0:10:420:10:44

All in the name of science, kids.

Science.

0:10:440:10:47

Didn't quite work. Well done.

0:10:470:10:49

Good effort. Now, Green Team,

why do you think it didn't work?

0:10:490:10:52

LAUGHTER

0:10:520:10:56

When you've dried off...

0:10:560:10:57

Why do you think it didn't work?

What went wrong?

0:10:570:10:59

I think...

I think there wasn't enough air.

0:10:590:11:03

Do you think it was the timing?

If you'd said "now" earlier...?

0:11:030:11:06

If you said "now" there...

0:11:060:11:07

It would have had more time

to come out as well.

0:11:070:11:10

If I deployed the parachute

before I took off

0:11:100:11:12

and just stayed up there, I'd be dry.

Then it would have worked.

OK.

0:11:120:11:16

Sadly, the parachute

didn't fully open.

0:11:160:11:19

Even if it had, would there have

been enough wind resistance

0:11:190:11:22

to create the breaking force

required?

0:11:220:11:24

On this evidence,

the answer's probably no!

0:11:240:11:27

# Beyond the sea

0:11:270:11:28

# Somewhere waiting for me... #

0:11:280:11:32

So, now it's time

for the Blue Team.

0:11:320:11:34

BLUE TEAM: Yes!

0:11:340:11:36

We've got your back, GP.

0:11:360:11:38

Yeah, sure you have.

0:11:380:11:40

The Blue-Min Brilliant team -

what a boastful name.

0:11:400:11:43

Will this idea be worthy of it?

0:11:430:11:45

Let us first ask Dr Mark -

0:11:450:11:47

in your finest Hollywood

announcer voice,

0:11:470:11:49

what is the name of your plan?

Operation what?

0:11:490:11:52

Bungee Weighty Man!

0:11:520:11:54

Yeah? What do you think about that?

0:11:540:11:56

Secondly, Dr Sam...

Yeah?

..what

is this and why is he wearing it?

0:11:560:12:01

Well, these are like, sort of,

wing flappy situations...

0:12:010:12:05

Wing flappy...?

That's the technical...

I see.

0:12:050:12:07

Because we actually

spent our budget.

0:12:070:12:09

Oooh!

We didn't have

a plastic bag attached.

0:12:090:12:11

Yeah, that was rubbish!

What a rubbish idea!

0:12:110:12:14

Where's the change?

Where's the change?

0:12:140:12:16

We've used it.

0:12:160:12:17

Yeah, you could have got

a bag for life at least!

0:12:170:12:19

THEY LAUGH

0:12:190:12:21

Now, we need to know the theory.

0:12:210:12:22

Can you tell me, please, Dr Naomi,

0:12:220:12:24

in your most exciting

scientist voice,

0:12:240:12:26

what is the theory behind the plan?

0:12:260:12:28

Well, what we want him to do

is drop that sand bag out

0:12:280:12:32

and that will act like a bungee cord

and ping him back up to the top.

0:12:320:12:35

I see, OK.

0:12:350:12:36

And then the wings

are just for extra,

0:12:360:12:38

if it's, like,

not helping at the end...

0:12:380:12:40

They're for show, ain't they?

They're for show, yeah!

0:12:400:12:43

Extra air resistance.

Exactly.

0:12:430:12:44

And a little bit of glamour.

Exactly.

We like that.

0:12:440:12:47

How do you feel about this,

Guinea Pig?

0:12:470:12:48

Well, it's obviously not

going to work.

0:12:480:12:50

I'm going to drop the sand bag

0:12:500:12:51

and then that's going to stop

the car and I'm going to go

0:12:510:12:54

flying out and audition for Batman,

that's what's going to happen.

0:12:540:12:57

Negative!

0:12:570:12:58

Not with that attitude,

not with that attitude.

0:12:580:13:00

So we're going to try.

BLUE TEAM: Let's give it a try.

0:13:000:13:02

Yellow and Green Teams,

is it going to work?

ALL:

No.

0:13:020:13:04

Why not?

It might work,

but it won't land in the red zone.

0:13:040:13:08

He's panicking, he's panicking.

Look at him, he's worried.

0:13:080:13:10

Well, I think we should find out.

0:13:100:13:13

There's only one way to find out -

get up that hill!

0:13:130:13:15

Go on, son!

BLUE TEAM:

Good luck!

0:13:150:13:18

Operation Bungee Weighty Man!

0:13:180:13:21

Now, the Blues want the Guinea Pig

to throw a sand bag out behind him

0:13:210:13:24

during the run.

0:13:240:13:26

The weight of it should anchor

the car

0:13:260:13:27

and the stretchy rope will cause it

to spring back,

0:13:270:13:30

saving the car from the precipice.

0:13:300:13:32

Sounds unlikely, but could it work?

0:13:320:13:34

Are you ready?

Never. I'm never ready.

0:13:340:13:37

ALL:

Three! Two! One!

0:13:370:13:39

Good luck.

0:13:390:13:40

BLUE TEAM:

NOW!

0:13:400:13:42

Oh, dear! He's in the water again.

0:13:430:13:48

It definitely slowed him.

We slowed him! Slowed him!

0:13:480:13:51

It slowed him down.

Definitely something happened there.

0:13:510:13:53

I saw something happened.

0:13:530:13:55

Do you think it was

the timing again?

0:13:550:13:57

Yes, it was, too late.

It was too late.

0:13:570:14:00

Zachariya got in our...our mind.

Yeah.

0:14:000:14:03

Dr Zachariya knocked your confidence

there, didn't he?

A lot!

0:14:030:14:06

He got in our mind

and our brain.

0:14:060:14:07

He put your timing all out

and it went wrong.

0:14:070:14:10

Look at his smug face as well.

0:14:100:14:12

You're blaming it all on him,

are you?

BLUE TEAM: Yes.

0:14:120:14:15

Oh, unfortunately, the sand bag

wasn't nearly heavy enough.

0:14:150:14:19

It didn't produce enough friction

to stop the runaway car at all.

0:14:190:14:22

Therefore...splash!

0:14:220:14:24

# Why does it always

rain on me...? #

0:14:240:14:28

So, let us find out now what's going

to happen with the Yellow Team.

0:14:280:14:33

The Yellow Rays

hail from Roath in Wales.

0:14:340:14:37

They are Ella, Zach and Gabe.

0:14:370:14:39

Gabe loves learning

about atoms and forces

0:14:390:14:41

and thinks his physics knowledge

will come in useful.

0:14:410:14:44

This challenge will certainly

put them through their paces. Ooh!

0:14:440:14:47

Now, what is the name of your plan?

0:14:470:14:49

Save The Guinea Pig!

0:14:490:14:51

Operation Save The Guinea Pig?

I like that, that's pretty good.

0:14:510:14:54

Now what does it involve, your plan?

0:14:540:14:56

It involves three sorts of brakes.

0:14:560:14:58

Three sorts?

Three different types of brakes?

0:14:580:15:01

Yeah. So the first one he pulls it...

Yes.

0:15:010:15:04

..and poles with rubber on the end

dig into the ground...

0:15:040:15:07

Dig into the ground.

..so that's

more friction.

OK, more friction.

0:15:070:15:10

Then another one is he pulls it

again and it digs into wheels

0:15:100:15:13

so the wheels will slow down.

Oh!

0:15:130:15:14

And then the other one,

0:15:140:15:16

he pushes with his feet

to also dig into the track

0:15:160:15:18

so then there's loads of

friction everywhere.

0:15:180:15:21

Friction everywhere!

0:15:210:15:22

They know what they're

talking about, right?

0:15:220:15:24

Well, that sounds pretty good to me.

Are you confident?

0:15:240:15:26

A braking system on a car?

0:15:260:15:27

What an innovative

and original idea(!)

0:15:270:15:30

Yeah, it is original.

Sounds very good, very German.

0:15:300:15:32

Which means it'll work.

0:15:320:15:33

Are you confident that their plan

is going to work?

0:15:330:15:36

GREEN AND BLUE TEAM:

No!

0:15:360:15:37

Naysayers.

0:15:370:15:39

So the Yellow Rays have designed

0:15:390:15:41

a triple braking system

for the cart.

0:15:410:15:44

By pulling the lever,

rubber pads meet the floor

0:15:440:15:46

and the wheels creating friction

to slow the wheels.

0:15:460:15:49

Pushing down on the foot bar

lowers additional rubber pads

0:15:490:15:52

helping to stop the cart in time.

0:15:520:15:54

That's what they think, innit?

0:15:540:15:55

Ready?

0:15:550:15:57

ALL:

Three! Two! One!

0:15:570:15:59

Go!

0:15:590:16:00

YELLOW TEAM:

Now!

0:16:000:16:01

Is it going to work?

Is it going to work?

0:16:010:16:03

CHEERING

0:16:030:16:06

So there we go,

that's the plan - brakes!

0:16:120:16:16

Did you know it was going to work?

0:16:160:16:17

Oh, yeah.

In your heart of hearts?

No.

0:16:170:16:19

Yeah, I definitely felt

that it was going to work.

0:16:190:16:22

Oh, what a fantastic runaway

success. Do you get it?

0:16:220:16:25

Enough friction was created

when the brakes were applied,

0:16:250:16:28

bringing the runaway cart

to a gentle stop just in time!

0:16:280:16:32

Ah, good job, Yellow Rays.

0:16:320:16:34

# Don't stop till you get enough. #

0:16:340:16:36

And how do you feel now about

the fact that you've won that round

0:16:360:16:38

and you get ten honour points?!

We all feel awesome!

0:16:380:16:41

Well done, Yellow Team!

0:16:420:16:45

So at the end of that round,

0:16:450:16:46

the Yellow Rays are in the lead

with 20 points,

0:16:460:16:49

followed by the Blue-Min Brilliant

Team on 10 points

0:16:490:16:52

and the Green Musketeers on...none.

0:16:520:16:54

Ah, them's the "brakes".

0:16:540:16:55

Now let's find out what's going

to happen in the next round!

0:16:550:16:59

Now it's time for our teams

to act on instinct -

0:17:010:17:04

it's the Brainless Challenge.

0:17:040:17:06

"A little nonsense now and then

is relished by the wisest men" -

0:17:060:17:10

Roald Dahl.

0:17:100:17:12

Yes! It's time to use

that silly part of the brain

0:17:120:17:15

known as the Hymacopulous

Skapadabula Hubadas

0:17:150:17:17

Everybody say

Hymacopulous Skapadabula Hubadas.

0:17:170:17:20

ALL: Hymacopulous

Skapadabula Hubadas.

0:17:200:17:22

Thank you very much, well done.

0:17:220:17:23

Now, what we're going to do

is we're going to create

0:17:230:17:26

a new university

of egghead scientists.

0:17:260:17:29

Each team has one member over here

with a bucket full of eggs

0:17:290:17:33

and they are going to throw them

through the air, to their team-mates

0:17:330:17:37

over here who are furnished and

equipped with arty-crafty things.

0:17:370:17:42

And you are going to create

little egghead scientists

0:17:420:17:45

and you're going to name them.

0:17:450:17:46

And I want to know

what's their discipline,

0:17:460:17:48

what they eat for breakfast,

everything!

0:17:480:17:50

Are you ready?

0:17:500:17:51

ALL:

Yes!

0:17:510:17:52

Then your time starts now!

0:17:520:17:56

Go, go, go. Lovely move, good throw!

0:17:560:17:58

There, you see?

They've gone already.

0:17:580:18:00

You've missed one,

you've missed one,

0:18:000:18:01

you've missed one.

There's one there.

0:18:010:18:03

I'll have this one.

0:18:030:18:04

Stop! OK, OK, OK.

0:18:050:18:08

SAM AND MARK:

Ahhh!

0:18:100:18:12

You've got glue,

you've got glue there.

0:18:120:18:14

You've got little things you can...

0:18:140:18:16

Faster, you can throw more eggs.

0:18:160:18:18

Why don't you throw them at them?

0:18:180:18:20

Ah!

Brilliant.

0:18:200:18:22

Five, four, three, two, one

and your time is up!

0:18:220:18:26

Time is up! Time is up!

0:18:260:18:29

Right, put it down, put it down,

put it down.

0:18:290:18:34

Right, well, that looked like

a pretty good effort from all teams

0:18:340:18:37

but let's find out

how the Green Team did.

0:18:370:18:39

Let's go and have a little look.

0:18:390:18:40

Now, let's have a look,

let's have a look.

0:18:400:18:43

Who've we got over here?

0:18:430:18:44

Let's throw away the ones

you didn't do first.

0:18:440:18:46

Let's throw these away

so they're gone.

0:18:460:18:50

Let's have a look first, hold them

up please, let's have a look.

0:18:500:18:52

This is Sarah Egghead.

0:18:520:18:54

Sarah Egghead.

0:18:540:18:55

She explores stars.

0:18:550:18:57

Oh! An astronomer, very good.

0:18:570:18:59

And now let's have a look

at this one, who's this?

0:18:590:19:01

This one's...

0:19:010:19:03

SHE LAUGHS

0:19:030:19:05

Dr Giggle?

Yeah.

Dr Ha Ha?

0:19:050:19:07

Dr Ha Ha, we like that name.

And what does he do?

0:19:070:19:10

He's doing chemistry.

Chemistry?

0:19:100:19:12

Well, I like that, you know,

you've done quite well.

0:19:120:19:15

Yes, QUITE well.

0:19:150:19:17

Let's have a look now

at the Blue Team.

0:19:170:19:20

So, let's see, now, here we go,

let's have a look.

0:19:200:19:22

Let's start with this one.

Yep, OK.

Who is this, please?

0:19:220:19:25

This is Phil.

Phil?

Yeah.

0:19:250:19:27

Phil - and what does Phil do?

0:19:270:19:29

Phil...he makes a mean Chicken Kiev.

0:19:290:19:32

Is that science?

0:19:320:19:33

Oh, it is!

0:19:330:19:34

How do you get the butter inside it?

0:19:340:19:36

It's true, I don't know

how you get the butter inside it.

0:19:360:19:39

Exactly! Phil knows. Phil knows.

0:19:390:19:41

Yes, Phil knows, well done.

Phil...osopher.

0:19:410:19:44

Let's have a look at this one,

who is this?

0:19:440:19:45

This is Professor Steve

0:19:450:19:48

and he parks the cars

for the scientists.

0:19:480:19:51

Parks the cars for the scientists.

0:19:510:19:54

Yes.

0:19:540:19:56

He does.

0:19:560:19:57

Are you feeling a little bit hot?

Yes, a little.

0:19:570:20:00

Yes, he's a bit tired.

0:20:000:20:01

He needs to go to bed, don't you?

0:20:010:20:03

It's past your bedtime - you haven't

had your milk yet, have you, Mark?

0:20:030:20:06

I've put too much glue,

he keeps falling off.

0:20:060:20:08

A little too much - he's slightly

falling apart, isn't he?

0:20:080:20:10

He's a little bit worse for wear,

shall we say?

0:20:100:20:13

Shall I put him back?

So, you've done QUITE well.

0:20:130:20:15

Thanks, mate.

0:20:150:20:17

So, now let's have a look

at the Yellow Team.

0:20:170:20:20

Now, you've done pretty well.

0:20:200:20:22

Now, what is the name

of this one here?

0:20:220:20:23

Bob.

Bob?

And what's the name of this one?

0:20:230:20:26

Bob.

Bob?

0:20:260:20:27

And this one?

Philip.

0:20:270:20:29

Philip! Bob, Bob and Philip.

Sounds like a team of lawyers.

0:20:290:20:32

Very good - and what do Bob, Bob

and Philip do?

0:20:320:20:36

Well, Philip collects the rubbish

which the scientists throw at him.

0:20:360:20:39

Oh, right. Like the Guinea Pig.

0:20:390:20:41

And Bob and Bob just sit there and

watch everybody else do the work.

0:20:410:20:45

Oh. Now then let's have a look now.

Now I've seen everything.

0:20:450:20:48

Two is by two is three...

0:20:480:20:50

But this was quite good.

It was all right.

0:20:500:20:53

Now, I think I'm going to award

0:20:530:20:56

ten points to the Yellow Team

0:20:560:20:58

and I'm going to give five points

to the other two teams

0:20:580:21:01

because you did pretty well,

I think,

0:21:010:21:03

and I'm feeling generous,

because I'm a nice guy.

0:21:030:21:05

Do you know what I mean?

0:21:050:21:06

Well done, Yellow Team!

0:21:060:21:08

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:080:21:11

The scores now stand

with Yellow Rays on 30.

0:21:110:21:13

Not far behind are the Blue-Min

Brilliant Team on 15.

0:21:130:21:16

And bringing up the rear

the Green Musketeers on 5!

0:21:160:21:21

And so with the Yellow Team

slightly in the lead,

0:21:210:21:24

it's time for the next round

which is called the...

0:21:240:21:27

Oh, I can't remember.

0:21:270:21:29

Oh, yes - it's the Memory Game!

0:21:290:21:31

What we have here is a maze

and a numerical code.

0:21:330:21:38

Now, each team has to select

one member of your team

0:21:380:21:42

who is going to guide our little

Guinea Pig out of the maze

0:21:420:21:46

using your numerical code.

0:21:460:21:47

1 for up, 2 for right, please,

0:21:470:21:50

3 for down and 4 for left,

well done.

0:21:500:21:53

You will each have

your own separate maze.

0:21:530:21:57

And only one of you can do this.

0:21:570:21:58

So who is going to go first?

0:21:580:22:00

Me!

0:22:000:22:02

Dr Ella - are you confident?

0:22:020:22:04

Yeah!

0:22:040:22:05

Good! I like that, Dr Ella,

that's pretty good.

0:22:050:22:08

Let us reveal your maze now!

0:22:080:22:12

We gave our teams 20 seconds

to study the maze.

0:22:130:22:16

Now get the blindfold on, please.

0:22:190:22:21

And the other team members,

you mustn't help her at all, OK?

0:22:210:22:25

It's all just you, Dr Ella.

0:22:250:22:27

Now you can start. Are you ready?

Yes.

0:22:270:22:29

Your 10 seconds start now.

0:22:290:22:32

4, 1,

0:22:320:22:34

4, 1,

0:22:340:22:36

2, 2,

0:22:360:22:38

1, 1.

0:22:380:22:40

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:400:22:41

Amazing! Absolutely amazing.

0:22:410:22:45

The Guinea Pig is safe.

0:22:450:22:47

You did very, very well there.

How do you feel?

Awesome!

0:22:470:22:50

Pretty good.

As always.

0:22:500:22:51

Do you think you've done enough

to keep your team in the lead?

0:22:510:22:53

Definitely!

0:22:530:22:55

Well done, Dr Ella! She's brainy!

Ten points for the Yellows there.

0:22:550:22:59

Well done, Dr Ella!

0:22:590:23:01

Well done, well done, well done.

0:23:010:23:02

Moving on to the Blues

and who is going to...?

0:23:020:23:06

Who is going to be doing it

for the Blues?

0:23:060:23:08

That would be me.

0:23:080:23:10

That would be Dr Naomi.

0:23:100:23:11

Are you feeling confident?

0:23:110:23:14

Dr Ella has set the bar

pretty high, but...yes!

0:23:140:23:16

Ooh, I like that! Feisty!

0:23:160:23:18

Fighting talk, why not?

0:23:180:23:20

Again Naomi was allowed just

20 seconds to study her maze.

0:23:200:23:23

Let's put your blindfold on now.

0:23:270:23:29

Your ten seconds to help the Guinea

Pig out of the maze begins...now!

0:23:290:23:33

4, 3,

0:23:330:23:36

3, 2,

0:23:360:23:39

2, 3,

0:23:390:23:41

4, 3.

0:23:410:23:44

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:23:440:23:47

Well done, Dr Naomi,

and no help from your team-mates.

0:23:470:23:53

Look at Ella.

I'm sweating.

She's seething.

0:23:530:23:55

We're still winning, though,

still winning.

0:23:550:23:57

Yes, I'm afraid the pressure's

on you now, Green Team,

0:23:570:24:00

you've really got to do well

at this, you know?

0:24:000:24:02

Because you're lagging behind

a little, I'm afraid,

0:24:020:24:04

and it's going to be your turn.

0:24:040:24:05

So we have ten points

for the Blue Team there.

0:24:050:24:08

Well done, Blues!

0:24:080:24:09

So, who's doing it for the Greens?

0:24:090:24:11

Connor.

Dr Connor!

0:24:110:24:13

Dr Connor,

how are you feeling about this?

0:24:130:24:15

Nervous.

Nervous?

0:24:150:24:17

I think you can do it, you know.

0:24:170:24:18

You've just got to be confident.

0:24:180:24:20

# You've just go to believe

in yourself... #

0:24:200:24:22

Would you sing that for us, please?

No, don't!

Ah!

0:24:220:24:24

Thank you.

0:24:240:24:26

Again, Dr Connor

has only 20 seconds.

0:24:260:24:29

Get the blindfold on!

Right, here we go.

0:24:340:24:36

Now, your ten seconds with

which to get the Guinea Pig

0:24:360:24:38

out of the maze begins now!

0:24:380:24:41

3, 3, 4,

0:24:410:24:44

4, 3, 2,

0:24:440:24:47

2, 3.

0:24:470:24:49

Yes!

0:24:490:24:51

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:24:510:24:52

Booyakasha!

0:24:520:24:54

Well done, well done, Dr Connor.

0:24:540:24:58

You've done your team proud there,

son, well done.

0:24:580:25:01

Ten points for the Greens as well!

0:25:010:25:03

Everybody got ten points, well done!

0:25:030:25:05

So, now, time to move on.

0:25:070:25:08

And so, with all to play for,

0:25:080:25:11

it's the final round,

the quick fire round.

0:25:110:25:14

And here are my questions.

0:25:140:25:16

Two points per correct answer.

So, are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

0:25:160:25:20

Hands on brains, please.

Here we go for the first question.

0:25:200:25:24

How many legs does a spider have?

0:25:240:25:26

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:25:260:25:29

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

Eight.

0:25:260:25:29

Is the right answer.

0:25:290:25:30

True or false?

0:25:300:25:31

There are more stars in the universe

than grains of sand on the Earth.

0:25:310:25:34

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:25:340:25:37

The Green Musketeers.

True!

0:25:340:25:37

Is true.

0:25:370:25:38

What is 20 divided by 5?

0:25:380:25:40

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:25:400:25:43

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

Four.

0:25:400:25:43

Is right.

0:25:430:25:44

What is the name of the process

when a liquid changes into a gas?

0:25:440:25:47

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:25:470:25:50

The Green Musketeers.

0:25:470:25:50

It went off.

0:25:500:25:51

Yeah. Right, OK,

you've got to answer it now.

0:25:510:25:54

Evaporation.

0:25:540:25:55

Is the right answer.

Yes!

0:25:550:25:57

Name the only pure metal that

is a liquid at room temperature.

0:25:570:26:00

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:26:000:26:02

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

0:26:000:26:02

Mercury.

Mercury.

0:26:020:26:03

Mercury is right.

0:26:030:26:05

What kind of energy is associated

with movement energy?

0:26:050:26:09

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:26:090:26:11

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

0:26:090:26:11

Kinetic?

0:26:110:26:12

Kinetic is right.

0:26:120:26:13

Come on, Yellows,

you're getting a bit behind.

0:26:130:26:16

What tree do acorns come from?

0:26:160:26:18

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:26:180:26:20

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

0:26:180:26:20

Oak.

0:26:200:26:22

Is the right answer.

0:26:220:26:23

How many planets are there

in the solar system?

0:26:230:26:26

BUZZER SOUNDS

0:26:260:26:28

Blue-Min Brilliant team.

0:26:260:26:28

Nine.

0:26:280:26:30

No, it's wrong, it's eight,

because Pluto is no longer a planet.

0:26:300:26:33

Ah!

That's what I said to you, man!

0:26:330:26:36

There, you see? you've got to think

about these things.

0:26:370:26:40

Got to be clever like me,

do you know what I'm saying?

0:26:400:26:43

So, that was the end

of the last round,

0:26:430:26:45

I can't believe it's over.

0:26:450:26:47

And now it's time to reveal

who is the ultimate brain!

0:26:470:26:51

Third place, with 19 points,

it is...

0:26:510:26:56

The Green Team!

0:26:560:26:57

Unlucky, you're third.

0:26:570:26:59

Did you have fun though?

Did you enjoy yourselves?

0:26:590:27:01

ALL:

Yeah!

That's the main thing, that's great.

0:27:010:27:03

So in second place,

with 35 points, it's...

0:27:030:27:08

The Blue Team.

0:27:080:27:10

Did you have fun?

Yes, very good.

0:27:100:27:11

Did you have a nice day?

0:27:110:27:13

Are you going to tell your friends

at school?

Obviously.

0:27:130:27:15

So that means our ultimate brains,

with a massive 40 points,

0:27:150:27:21

are the Yellow Team!

0:27:210:27:24

Well done, come on down,

come on down.

0:27:240:27:27

Well done, Dr Ella, well done.

Well done.

0:27:270:27:30

Well done, the Yellow Team.

You are the victors.

0:27:300:27:34

You have triumphed today.

0:27:340:27:36

So...you are our champions

for today.

0:27:360:27:40

You are our ultimate brains!

How do you feel about that?

0:27:400:27:42

Wooo!

We feel amazing!

Great!

0:27:420:27:45

OK, I'm sorry to the other teams,

please come and join us.

0:27:450:27:48

Come and bow, bow to the victors.

0:27:480:27:53

And we'll see you next time

for some more brainy fun on....

0:27:530:27:57

Ultimate Brain!
