0:00:04 > 0:00:05Aaagh!

0:00:05 > 0:00:08The greatest test of the human mind ever created!

0:00:08 > 0:00:11I, Dr Brain, have searched high and low,

0:00:11 > 0:00:13seeking the best, the brightest, the bravest,

0:00:13 > 0:00:16the boldest, the biggest and the barmiest.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Who has what it takes?

0:00:17 > 0:00:22You'll need to run your mind at full power to become the Ultimate Brain!

0:00:28 > 0:00:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Welcome to Ultimate Brain.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38I am on a quest to seek out the most super-brainy super-brains

0:00:38 > 0:00:41in Super-Brain Land. If anyone can do it, I can

0:00:41 > 0:00:42because my name...

0:00:42 > 0:00:44is Dr Brain!

0:00:47 > 0:00:48- Hurrah! - CRACK

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Ooh! So, we have some people here

0:00:51 > 0:00:54who claim to be the brainiest people on the planet...but are they?

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Let's find out, let's meet the teams.

0:00:56 > 0:01:00Firstly the Green team from Leices...ter...

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Um...

0:01:03 > 0:01:05I think they're IN Leicester.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Erm, little technical hitch. Ah-ha-ha! Erm...

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Guinea Pig!

0:01:12 > 0:01:15Yes, this is my good friend the Guinea Pig. Today it was his job

0:01:15 > 0:01:18to book the contestants - something he has apparently omitted to do.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21'You can probably guess just how pleased I am with him

0:01:21 > 0:01:23'by this footage of me chasing him around

0:01:23 > 0:01:25'with an enormous whacking stick.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28'While the Guinea Pig and I discuss the lack of teams on today's show

0:01:28 > 0:01:31'because of his massive error, let's look at some of the,

0:01:31 > 0:01:36'if I say so myself, quite brilliant questions I have posed in the past.'

0:01:36 > 0:01:37Aagh!

0:01:39 > 0:01:42I challenged brainy young teams from all over the country

0:01:42 > 0:01:46as well as some of CBBC's most famous, and stupid, faces.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50We tried all kinds of crazy experiments, including explosions!

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Helicopters! Dagga-dagga-dagga- dagga-dagga-dagga-dagga.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Crazy pink goo monsters!

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Ooh, see-sawing candles!

0:01:58 > 0:02:00Tubes of fire!

0:02:00 > 0:02:03And the all-electric pickle!

0:02:03 > 0:02:05We always make the sparks fly!

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Here are three of my all-time favourite brain ignition challenges.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Take it away!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13In this one, the stars of Hank Zipzer

0:02:13 > 0:02:16found themselves in a right pickle. Ah-ha-ha!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Look what I have here!

0:02:18 > 0:02:21'I asked the teams what will happen to this pickled gherkin

0:02:21 > 0:02:24'if we pass 200 volts of electricity through it.'

0:02:24 > 0:02:26200 volts of electricity!

0:02:26 > 0:02:28BUZZING

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Will it...

0:02:29 > 0:02:33A - cook, and turn brown? Ooh, like a sausage.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36B - split and fall apart? Like my marriage.

0:02:36 > 0:02:42C - will it explode all over my lovely costume?

0:02:42 > 0:02:46or D - will it start to glow?

0:02:46 > 0:02:47Oooh!

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Let's see your answers...now!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55'The Blues and Yellows thought it would cook and turn brown

0:02:55 > 0:02:58'while the Greens hoped it would explode! Were either of them right?'

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Let's do this thing!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Please don't attempt this experiment at home.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06Electricity can be very dangerous.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Release the monkey power!

0:03:14 > 0:03:16HE GASPS

0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's glowing!

0:03:18 > 0:03:21Magically! The glowing gherkin!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24'The electricity excites the tiny sodium atoms in the gherkin,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27'causing them to emit this orangey yellow light!'

0:03:27 > 0:03:28He glowed!

0:03:28 > 0:03:31'Naomi, Sam and Mark took on two very bright teams

0:03:31 > 0:03:33'and this slippery little conundrum.'

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Now, what I have here,

0:03:34 > 0:03:40I have this extraordinary sort of runny, pink liquid stuff here.

0:03:40 > 0:03:41It's rather weird.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Can you see it moves very slowly?

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Now, what we also have is a speaker here, just an ordinary speaker

0:03:47 > 0:03:49which can make noise and music.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52We're going to pour the pink goo into the speaker,

0:03:52 > 0:03:53make a noise through it

0:03:53 > 0:03:56and find out what happens to the liquid.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Let us doooo the experiment!

0:04:00 > 0:04:02I'm pouring. Eww, look at that!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Eww, weird, weird, weird.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07In it goes. So, now we have our liquid inside the speaker,

0:04:07 > 0:04:09let's have a little bit of music!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11FUNKY MUSIC

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Ooh! There we go. Oh, what was that?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Like a little mouth going, "Wah, wah, wah!"

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Try another one!

0:04:20 > 0:04:21Woo-hoo-hoo!

0:04:21 > 0:04:22It's climbing out!

0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's climbing out! Get back!

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Get back in! Get back in!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29I command you to get back in! Ooh!

0:04:29 > 0:04:31You think you're cleverer than Sam and Mark?

0:04:31 > 0:04:32THEY LAUGH

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Look! This one's gone over.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38- It's escaped!- Oh, wow!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40"Look at me, I'm over the wall!"

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Now this one's coming!- Oh, wow!

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Don't you come near me.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47Well, there we go.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50If there's one thing we've learned about that experiment,

0:04:50 > 0:04:51it's that it was right weird!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54The cornflour and water

0:04:54 > 0:04:57forms something known as a non-Newtonian fluid.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59If we leave it alone, it acts like a runny liquid

0:04:59 > 0:05:01but if we try to move it, it acts like a solid.

0:05:01 > 0:05:05As the loud speaker vibrates, it pushes and pulls on the mixture

0:05:05 > 0:05:06around 100 times a second!

0:05:06 > 0:05:09And the result is these weird little monster-like blobs.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12Woo-hoo! They're brilliant, aren't they? Ha-ha!

0:05:12 > 0:05:15'And here's one to make your hair stand on end!'

0:05:15 > 0:05:18I have two flasks of liquid nitrogen!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21One of the coldest things on the earth!

0:05:21 > 0:05:22Colder than the North Pole

0:05:22 > 0:05:24and the South Pole put together.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28It's close to minus 200 degrees.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31TEETH CHATTER

0:05:31 > 0:05:32Whew! That's cold!

0:05:32 > 0:05:34In contrast, in here

0:05:34 > 0:05:36I have some boiling water,

0:05:36 > 0:05:38which is roughly around

0:05:38 > 0:05:40about 100 degrees centigrade!

0:05:40 > 0:05:44So...what's going to happen when I add the two liquids together?

0:05:44 > 0:05:48Some sort of reaction, I shouldn't doubt. What do we think?

0:05:48 > 0:05:49So the options are...

0:05:49 > 0:05:52A - the water freezes instantly. Ooh!

0:05:52 > 0:05:55B - the liquid nitrogen boils into a gas.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58C - nothing happens

0:05:58 > 0:06:00or D - something else.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Here goes science!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10'It boils into a gas! And here's why.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13'The water is 100 degrees above its own freezing point

0:06:13 > 0:06:16'but the liquid nitrogen is just a fraction of a degree

0:06:16 > 0:06:19'below its own boiling point at minus 196 degrees Celsius,

0:06:19 > 0:06:23'so when it's poured into the water, it boils almost instantly!'

0:06:23 > 0:06:25THEY LAUGH

0:06:25 > 0:06:29I deem this experiment to be a success!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32'The stars of Wolfblood had to answer this burning question.'

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hey, teams! Get a load of this little beauty.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36You know what that is?

0:06:36 > 0:06:39I'll tell you. It's a Tubens rube. I mean, a Rubens' tube.

0:06:39 > 0:06:43Yes! Invented by the great German physicist Heinrich Rubens.

0:06:43 > 0:06:44What a lovely guy.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46I asked the teams what happens

0:06:46 > 0:06:49when you play music into this tube of fire. Do the flames...

0:06:49 > 0:06:51A - bend away from the speaker?

0:06:51 > 0:06:52B - go out?

0:06:52 > 0:06:53C - get bigger?

0:06:53 > 0:06:56Or D - something else entirely?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59OK, teams, that's thinking time up.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02So, let me see your answers now!

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Our teams were split between A - bend away from the speaker,

0:07:06 > 0:07:08and C - get bigger,

0:07:08 > 0:07:10but they were both wrong.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14The correct answer was D - something very different, and rather funky.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16- CHEERING - Take it away!

0:07:16 > 0:07:18RUMBA MUSIC

0:07:19 > 0:07:21What are the flames doing?

0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Getting bigger.- They're dancing!

0:07:25 > 0:07:27'By the way, I'm a trained monkey scientist.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29'Don't try to do this yourself.'

0:07:32 > 0:07:36The best thing about being at Ultimate Brain today is...

0:07:36 > 0:07:38- ALL:- We won!

0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yes!

0:07:40 > 0:07:41'Blue Moon!'

0:07:41 > 0:07:43THEY HOWL

0:07:46 > 0:07:49Here's something you could try yourself.

0:07:49 > 0:07:51Guinea Pig is aiming to create a visual spectacle.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55So he's got a fairly normal plastic bottle,

0:07:55 > 0:07:57three-quarters filled with vegetable oil,

0:07:57 > 0:08:01and the other quarter filled with water, which sinks to the bottom.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03What's he doing now?

0:08:08 > 0:08:11He's about to add a couple of effervescent tablets.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13I sense something unusual is about to happen.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Bravo, Guinea Pig.

0:08:17 > 0:08:21When the gas is released by the tablet, it flows up to the surface,

0:08:21 > 0:08:22picking up some of the water and oil,

0:08:22 > 0:08:25creating this superb lava-lamp-like effect.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28You could always add food colouring for even more pizzazz.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31Get permission, and have a go yourself.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Well done, Guinea Pig. Good lad.

0:08:33 > 0:08:37I don't know about you, Guinea Pig, but I feel a little bit better now

0:08:37 > 0:08:40having seen a few of those lovely questions.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43What are we going to do without contestants, though? Where are they?

0:08:43 > 0:08:46- What have you done with them? Why aren't they here?- I forgot.

0:08:46 > 0:08:48You forgot!

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Well, I'm not going to forget to make all sorts of unpleasant

0:08:51 > 0:08:52and nasty challenges for you to try,

0:08:52 > 0:08:55including things like bogies and poo and...

0:08:55 > 0:08:58What do you mean you're going to? You already have.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01'Our budding scientists' brains have been stretched in all directions,

0:09:01 > 0:09:05'as well as the Guinea Pig. Quite literally!

0:09:05 > 0:09:09'Our Guinea Pig's been dared to test the brightest of bright ideas

0:09:09 > 0:09:10'and silly solutions.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13'All in the name of spectacular science.

0:09:13 > 0:09:17'He used the team's inventions to squeeze as many lemons as possible.'

0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Good work, Guinea Pig.- Lemony!

0:09:18 > 0:09:20Get it down you. It's lovely, you know it is.

0:09:20 > 0:09:23'And then drink the juice!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26'He caught 100,000 flying balls!

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'Learnt how to train his dragon...

0:09:29 > 0:09:32'Climbed to the top of an incredibly slippery slope.

0:09:32 > 0:09:34'Battled against the giant wind machine,

0:09:34 > 0:09:38'and other times, was just sort of used for target practice, really.'

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh, good shot!

0:09:41 > 0:09:43'We challenged the Guinea Pig

0:09:43 > 0:09:45'to climb to the top of a very slippery slope.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47'Firstly, with no help whatsoever.'

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Three, two, one...

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Go, Guinea Pig!

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Yes! Oh, look! Snow everywhere.

0:09:56 > 0:09:58Look at him, down he goes. He's trying to get up,

0:09:58 > 0:10:00and he's doing very well. His legs are flailing

0:10:00 > 0:10:03and he's on his elbows now. He's crawling up, he's crawling

0:10:03 > 0:10:06like a ninja, like a commando.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08I think that's enough.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Back you come, Guinea Pig. You've tried your best, done very well.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12TEAMS LAUGH

0:10:12 > 0:10:15There he goes. Well done, Mr Guinea Pig, unlucky.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Now you see what he has to contend with.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18My pants are wet again.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh, dear. Where are you hurt?

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- Everywhere.- Oh, good.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Yes! Oh, no! Snow everywhere!

0:10:27 > 0:10:30'Now, with the Yellow team's Operation Noctopus.'

0:10:31 > 0:10:35The plan is that these are going to help him stick to the slope,

0:10:35 > 0:10:39- is that right? - Yeah, then he can, like...

0:10:39 > 0:10:42That squeegee's going to move some of the slime out the way.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Then climb higher. - So he's going to be wiping...

0:10:45 > 0:10:48In a way, yeah, and then he can grab on with his fingers,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51and then let go with his body, and then do the exact same thing again.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53What monkey-brain idea is this?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Are you ready? Shall we count him down together?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58ALL: Three, two, one...

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Go, Guinea Pig!

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Off he goes. Oh, and he's down.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04Now he's got to deploy the suckers here.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05Use the wiper.

0:11:06 > 0:11:09Come on, Guinea Pig, more effort, more effort.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13That's it. Oh, look. The suckers are working, aren't they?

0:11:13 > 0:11:15But he has no suckers on his feet.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17Don't stand up,

0:11:17 > 0:11:19do it side to side. Like that, yeah.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Side to side, up and down! Make your mind up!

0:11:22 > 0:11:25Move forward.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27You're not going anywhere.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30Now he's stuck, he's stuck. Now he's unstuck again.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32Your fingers, your fingers as well!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34One thing, it's certainly working,

0:11:34 > 0:11:36the sucker pads are certainly working.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38That's it, come on, keep moving.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Scrape forwards and backwards!

0:11:40 > 0:11:41- That's it, that's it.- Keep moving!

0:11:41 > 0:11:44Now how's he going to get up this last bit?

0:11:44 > 0:11:46He's gone backwards.

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- Sorry, we have to abandon plan. - Move horizontally.- Abandon plan.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51He's gone backwards,

0:11:51 > 0:11:53which means unfortunately the plan hasn't worked,

0:11:53 > 0:11:56so unlucky, Guinea Pig, and unlucky, Yellow team.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59You did very well there. It was working for a while, wasn't it?

0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Yeah.- What do you think went wrong?

0:12:01 > 0:12:03It was the suction pads. They started coming off,

0:12:03 > 0:12:06and they had too much of that kind of squidgy stuff on them.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09'Now the Blue team's plan - sponge and plunge.'

0:12:09 > 0:12:11You look like a cheesy Dalek.

0:12:13 > 0:12:18- Are you ready? Let's count him in. - OK.- Three, two, one...

0:12:18 > 0:12:19Go, Guinea Pig!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21And he's off.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, and he's slipping, and down he goes again.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25Come on, you can do this.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Step by step, nice and slow. - Stay down! Get down!

0:12:27 > 0:12:29I wonder how long all this is taking.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Believe you're Spider-Man! - Come on.- You can do this.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35- This is a design at its full potential.- He's still trying.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37We're going forward, we're going forward.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39That's the thing about the Guinea Pig, he never gives up.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41- He's a fool.- Come on.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Come on, Guinea Pig, that's it.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Take it easy.- Yes! Yes!

0:12:45 > 0:12:47Oh!

0:12:47 > 0:12:50You're nearly there, you're nearly there.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Stand, one more sprint.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Take it easy.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58- He's up for one more. - He's trying for one more!

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Down he goes! Down he goes.

0:13:01 > 0:13:03Guinea Pig, how did that feel?

0:13:03 > 0:13:04Humiliating.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06You guys watch too much TV.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10These things don't stick to the floor, they slide...

0:13:10 > 0:13:11Whoa.

0:13:11 > 0:13:12THEY LAUGH

0:13:12 > 0:13:15And he's down again. You've tried,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17but once again, you've failed.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22'And now the Green team's plan - The Carpet Theory!'

0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Here we go.- Let's go.

0:13:25 > 0:13:27ALL: A three, a two, one...

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Go, Guinea Pig!

0:13:29 > 0:13:33Oh, I see, I see what you mean about the carpet.

0:13:33 > 0:13:35- He's got to get on it, he's got to get on it.- Yes!- Yes!

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Oh, that sort of worked! It's slipping a bit underneath,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40- it's sort of getting there. Can he get up the peak?- Come on!

0:13:40 > 0:13:43That's the thing. He's got to get all the way up the peak.

0:13:43 > 0:13:45Oh! He's run out of carpet.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47He's going to try it. Come on, Guinea Pig.

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Hit the button and you've won.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Oh!- Oh, so close!

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Pull the carpet.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58- That's it, he says, pull the carpet. - Stand on the carpet.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01He's trying. This is a very good attempt.

0:14:01 > 0:14:03This is very good attempt. It could work.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05No! Oh, dear, that's it.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Behold!

0:14:07 > 0:14:09'The balloon challenge went off with a bang.

0:14:09 > 0:14:11'How can you pop 200 balloons in 60 seconds?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14'And what on earth is the Guinea Pig wearing?'

0:14:14 > 0:14:16What, pray, is the name of your plan?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18Operation Buzz Buzz.

0:14:18 > 0:14:20Operation Buzz Buzz, and that could...

0:14:20 > 0:14:22Could that be because he looks like a bee?

0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Yes.- Completely.- You see, I'm clever, I'm a scientist, you see.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27I'm covered in sharp needles,

0:14:27 > 0:14:30and I've got to dive into balloons that make very loud noises?

0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Yeah.- Basically, yes, yes.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33Why don't you do it?

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Because you're the Guinea Pig.

0:14:35 > 0:14:36So, are you ready?

0:14:36 > 0:14:38I'm never ready.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Are YOU ready?- Yes!

0:14:40 > 0:14:4360 seconds on the clock, starting from...

0:14:43 > 0:14:44now! Go, Guinea Pig.

0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Come on! - There's one. There's another.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's working quite well, it's working quite well.

0:14:53 > 0:14:56THEY WHOOP

0:14:56 > 0:14:58You need to get those balloons.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00Come on, jump on that one.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06Five seconds left.

0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Jump, jump, jump.- Jump over there.

0:15:09 > 0:15:13Ah! That's it, time up.

0:15:13 > 0:15:14I can't help feeling

0:15:14 > 0:15:17that if he had done that dive from the beginning,

0:15:17 > 0:15:18he might have done better.

0:15:18 > 0:15:22'The Blue team designed this bizarre-looking vacuum cleaner.'

0:15:22 > 0:15:24ALL: Three, two, one...

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Good luck, Guinea Pig. Off you go.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28Aah!

0:15:29 > 0:15:31No balloons so far, that's a score of nil.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33Still nothing.

0:15:33 > 0:15:34Yes, that's one!

0:15:38 > 0:15:40That's it, now it's working.

0:15:40 > 0:15:42Oh, and he's broken it.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44Oh, Guinea Pig, you've got to keep going, keep going.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Come on!

0:15:46 > 0:15:47Yes, yes!

0:15:47 > 0:15:50That's it. Only about another 150 to go.

0:15:50 > 0:15:51Come on!

0:15:57 > 0:16:00That's it, that's time up!

0:16:00 > 0:16:01Time up.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04'The Yellow team designed this mythical balloon-tastic popper.'

0:16:04 > 0:16:07I should just say that if you at home were thinking at any point

0:16:07 > 0:16:11of using a blowtorch to set fire to 200 balloons...

0:16:11 > 0:16:12DON'T!

0:16:12 > 0:16:13Here we go.

0:16:13 > 0:16:17ALL: A three, a two, a one...

0:16:17 > 0:16:19Go, Guinea Pig!

0:16:19 > 0:16:21There's one, there's two. Is it working?

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Looking worried, Blue and Green teams.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35Oh, no! The gas has gone out.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38You've got to carry on, got to carry on, it's just a setback.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Come on.- Get that.

0:16:40 > 0:16:43Yeah, do that, do that.

0:16:47 > 0:16:48Go back in there.

0:16:48 > 0:16:49Only one second left!

0:16:49 > 0:16:52Oh, and that's your time up.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54That is your time up.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56Now let's see how many balloons were left.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00Ibliblibblbllbbleblelebleh... Quite a few!

0:17:00 > 0:17:03So I think you've done slightly better than the Blues.

0:17:05 > 0:17:09'The runaway cart challenge had the Guinea Pig skidding in his pants.

0:17:09 > 0:17:13'First he tried it without a plan. What would the teams come up with?'

0:17:13 > 0:17:15How are you feeling up there?

0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Uh...not very well.- Are you ready?

0:17:16 > 0:17:18I have to go to the bathroom.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21In fact, I think I've already gone.

0:17:21 > 0:17:22THEY LAUGH

0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Shall we count him down? - Yes.- Are we ready?

0:17:24 > 0:17:26- ALL: Three, two, one.- No, no, no!

0:17:26 > 0:17:27- Go!- Aaagh!

0:17:27 > 0:17:29This is mental.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30Aaaagh!

0:17:32 > 0:17:34My pants are wet.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37So we've discovered what happens when you don't have a plan.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39It goes wrong.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42ALL: Three, two, one...

0:17:42 > 0:17:43Blast off!

0:17:46 > 0:17:47No!

0:17:47 > 0:17:49Oh!

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Unlucky!

0:17:51 > 0:17:54It didn't quite catch air, did it?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Poor Guinea Pig, he's wet again.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00Oh, dear. And he's fallen over, yay!

0:18:01 > 0:18:04All in the name of science, kids, science.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07'Naomi, Sam, and Mark came up with a plan called...'

0:18:07 > 0:18:10Bungee Weighty Man.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11Are you ready?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13Never. I'm never ready.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15ALL: Three, two, one...

0:18:15 > 0:18:16Good luck.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Now!- Now!

0:18:19 > 0:18:24Oh, dear! He's in the water again.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27- It definitely slowed him.- It slowed him.- It slowed him down.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29'But sure enough, there was one plan

0:18:29 > 0:18:32'that had all the hallmarks of scientific genius -

0:18:32 > 0:18:34'the Yellow plan.'

0:18:34 > 0:18:38The Yellow Rays have designed a triple braking system for the cart.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41By pulling the lever, rubber pads meet the floor and the wheels,

0:18:41 > 0:18:43creating friction to slow the wheels.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46Pushing down on the foot bar lowers additional rubber pads,

0:18:46 > 0:18:48helping to stop the cart in time.

0:18:48 > 0:18:49That's what they think, innit.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51Three, two, one...

0:18:51 > 0:18:52Go.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Now!- Now.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55Is it going to work?

0:18:55 > 0:18:58CHEERING

0:18:58 > 0:18:59Yay!

0:19:05 > 0:19:09So, there we go, that's the plan - brakes.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12'Oh, what a fantastic "runaway" success. Do you get it?

0:19:12 > 0:19:14'Enough friction was created when the brakes were applied,

0:19:14 > 0:19:18'bringing the runaway cart to a gentle stop, just in time.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20'Ah, good job, Yellow Rays.'

0:19:22 > 0:19:25And how do you feel now about the fact that you've won that round,

0:19:25 > 0:19:28- and you get ten Honour Points? - We all feel awesome!

0:19:28 > 0:19:32Yeah! Well done, Yellow team.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34I've got to say, the best thing about being on Ultimate Brain

0:19:34 > 0:19:37is being on the Blue team, actually, wearing these overalls,

0:19:37 > 0:19:39- makes our eyes pop.- It really does.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43And the worst thing was probably being upstaged by a monkey

0:19:43 > 0:19:46wearing pink Lycra, pink boots, and a lab coat.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49- Normal Friday night for me.- Yeah.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55I rather enjoyed that. In fact, you know, I've got half a mind

0:19:55 > 0:19:58to forgive you for forgetting to book the contestants.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01However, I'm not going to forgive you, unless you show me

0:20:01 > 0:20:05something absolutely amazing that I've never seen before - right now!

0:20:08 > 0:20:09Ooh!

0:20:09 > 0:20:14'Here's a cool trick, commonly referred to as the chain fountain.

0:20:14 > 0:20:15'This gravity-defying effect

0:20:15 > 0:20:17'is the result of inertia.

0:20:17 > 0:20:19'The beads are pulled out of the glass,

0:20:19 > 0:20:21'but cannot instantly change direction

0:20:21 > 0:20:23'to follow the beads going down,

0:20:23 > 0:20:25'thus causing this arcing effect.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28'Very clever, Guinea Pig, well done.'

0:20:31 > 0:20:32Yes, er...

0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well done. Have a banana.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Best and worst thing, Sam?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Erm... Thanks. - Not Sam's the best and worst thing.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46I'll start. The best thing is meeting some really cool kids.

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Very bright kids.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Very bright.- A bit too bright for us, unfortunately.

0:20:50 > 0:20:51A little too clever for us.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54The education system is clearly working, that's a good thing.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56- Erm...worst thing?- Go England.

0:20:56 > 0:21:00The worst thing was probably sort of having to work with you two.

0:21:00 > 0:21:04Also, Sam's feet, he doesn't wear shoes under the desk

0:21:04 > 0:21:07- and the smell coming up, it's just terrible.- It helps me think.

0:21:07 > 0:21:10Smells worse than the defeat that we just suffered.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12- Sam's feet, and defeat. - Well done. High-five, like it.

0:21:12 > 0:21:14De-feat! De feet, defeat!

0:21:14 > 0:21:19- Ooh! That was poor, wasn't it? - Yeah.- I'll put my shoes on.

0:21:19 > 0:21:23Well, Guinea Pig, which is your favourite part of the show?

0:21:23 > 0:21:26- The brainless challenge.- Really?

0:21:26 > 0:21:27HE SIGHS

0:21:27 > 0:21:29HE PURRS

0:21:29 > 0:21:30HE MOOS

0:21:45 > 0:21:46Oh, well done!

0:21:46 > 0:21:50You are definitely the most brainless person in the world.

0:21:50 > 0:21:51Yay! Huh?

0:21:53 > 0:21:56For the brainless challenges, it's time for our teams to

0:21:56 > 0:21:59conflobulate, cofibulise, and consumdeflumdihimdihate.

0:21:59 > 0:22:01- Is everybody ready?- Yes!

0:22:01 > 0:22:02Am I a monkey?

0:22:02 > 0:22:03Yes!

0:22:03 > 0:22:05What's the square root of 356?

0:22:05 > 0:22:06I don't know!

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Doesn't matter! Let's dance.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12MUSIC: "Firework" by Katy Perry

0:22:15 > 0:22:16Bring it on!

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Aagh! This is cold!

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Three-ah, a two-ah, a one-ah, a go!

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Yellows have got one.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32"Look at me, Dr Oscar, I'm Dr Roxy,

0:22:32 > 0:22:35"and I look a bit like Velma from Scooby-Doo."

0:22:35 > 0:22:37He's gone, he's gone, he's gone!

0:22:42 > 0:22:44You got me in the mouth!

0:22:44 > 0:22:46That's it!

0:22:46 > 0:22:48Right, left, right, left, left!

0:22:48 > 0:22:49Very good.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Yellows doing well. That's another one for Yellow.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57"Hello! Oh, hello, Dr Anna, you have lovely hair."

0:22:57 > 0:23:00"Hey, look at me, I'm Dr Anna. I'm in love with Dr Brain.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03"I want to grow up and get married."

0:23:03 > 0:23:05He's gone. He hardly lasted at all!

0:23:08 > 0:23:09That's it. Harder.

0:23:12 > 0:23:13PARP!

0:23:13 > 0:23:15"I just done a big...

0:23:15 > 0:23:16HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY

0:23:16 > 0:23:17"..and you can taste it."

0:23:17 > 0:23:19Are you joking?

0:23:21 > 0:23:24Stop, stop, stop, stop!

0:23:24 > 0:23:28- OK, so we've had a really good time on Ultimate Brain.- It's awesome.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31The best bit for me was probably, for me, watching Guinea Pig get injured.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yeah, that was pretty funny, and we got these really cool badges.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- And lab coats. Which I like. - Which make us seem intelligent.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40The Guinea Pig has discovered something very impressive.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44With this trick you could become the most popular person in your school.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47Quite possible the most popular person of all time,

0:23:47 > 0:23:49apart from me, of course.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52We recommend, however, that you avoid doing this at Christmas time

0:23:52 > 0:23:54for reasons that will become obvious.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07Look at that! What a turkey.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10If you ever doubted it before, this surely is the proof.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13Now watch as he's stuffed with sage and onion, roasted in the oven,

0:24:13 > 0:24:16and served with cranberry sauce and a selection of veg.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18Mmm, veg!

0:24:21 > 0:24:22Whee!

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Welcome to Guinea Pig Mastermind.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29That's a fantastic oxymoron, if ever I've heard one.

0:24:29 > 0:24:30PARP!

0:24:31 > 0:24:34So, Guinea Pig, what is your specialist subject?

0:24:34 > 0:24:35Ah, oh...

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Whee!

0:24:37 > 0:24:41I'm not going to ask you questions about wee. Choose another subject.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44Ah... My subject is the Guinea Pig,

0:24:44 > 0:24:47except I'm not a Guinea Pig, I'm a crash test stunt ninja!

0:24:49 > 0:24:51Well... OK, that's more acceptable.

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Let's begin. What is your name?

0:24:52 > 0:24:54Uh... Pass.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Which martial art is the Guinea Pig's favourite martial art?

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Pass.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00TIMER BEEPS

0:25:00 > 0:25:02I've started, so I'll finish...

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Ah, forget it. You've scored no points.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07Let's have a look at some of the great buzzer moments in the series.

0:25:07 > 0:25:09- Are you ready?- Yes!

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Hands on your brains, let's do it.

0:25:12 > 0:25:15So, how many legs does a beetle have?

0:25:15 > 0:25:17'The Yellow Neutrons.'

0:25:17 > 0:25:18Six.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Is the right answer! Six legs and a couple of guitars.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24How many days does it take for the Earth to... I'll say that again.

0:25:24 > 0:25:25'Yellow Jaguars.'

0:25:25 > 0:25:27365.25.

0:25:27 > 0:25:28Oh! Well, yes, well done.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31If you mix blue and yellow paint together, what colour will you get?
