0:00:06 > 0:00:10How can you overcome a bad case of wind?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14What will happen when you really do burn the candle at both ends?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18And will the cast of The Dumping Ground create a masterpiece?
0:00:18 > 0:00:22You'll need to run your brain at full power to become
0:00:22 > 0:00:23the Ultimate Brain!
0:00:27 > 0:00:31CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Welcome to Ultimate Brain!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I am the Doctor...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Wackety, wack! Wackety, wack! Oo-wee-ooh! # Here comes a Dalek!
0:00:40 > 0:00:44No, not that Doctor you idiot. This Doctor!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- VOICE BOOMS:- Dr Brain!
0:00:48 > 0:00:52I am on a mission to seek out new brain forms,
0:00:52 > 0:00:54to discover great new geniuses.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58To boldly go where no monkey has boldly gone before.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00So, what do we have over here?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Nine juicy brains for me to experiment with.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Shall we find out who they are?
0:01:06 > 0:01:11Our first team, Abi, Ellie and Jack called themselves the Green Atoms.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Will they cause an atomic explosion in their bid to win? BOOM!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- Green Team, how are you? - ALL: Hi. Fine.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Where are you from Green Atoms? - ALL: Bristol.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23I like Bristol. Lovely place.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26- What's your favourite subject? - ALL: Maths.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Numbers, good. I like that. You'll need that.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Wonderful! Thank you! The Green Team!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Our next team, Dali, Poppy and Sophie have chosen
0:01:35 > 0:01:37the Yellow Tang.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Can Yellow Tang make a bang and win the thang?
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Who wants meringue?
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- What's your team name? - ALL: Yellow Tangs.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Where are you from? - ALL: London.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- COCKNEY ACCENT:- Nice!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49The East End of London or South or North?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- ALL: West.- Nice! That's good.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55What do you like to do? What's your favourite things?
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- Science and maths.- Yeah.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- What's the best experiment you've ever done?- Made milk into plastic.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Milk into plastic? How did you do that?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06With vinegar and milk and heat.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Vinegar, milk and heat? What's the process?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12- You heat the milk and you add cold vinegar.- Cold vinegar.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14It's a chemical reaction.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17A chemical reaction that takes over 10,000 years.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20You don't look that old. Nice to meet you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21APPLAUSE
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Finally our Blue Team, Kia, Joe and Amy-Leigh
0:02:24 > 0:02:26starred in the CBBC show, The Dumping Ground.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Have they got enough brains to fill a beaker?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Get it? Beaker! Tracy Beaker? Come on!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Here's some faces you may recognise from your TV receiver sets.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Yes! It's the Blues! How are you, Blues?
0:02:38 > 0:02:39Good, thanks. You?
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Yeah, not bad. What's your team name?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We're Beaker's Blues.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46BEAKER'S BLUES! Anything to do with Tracy Beaker?
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Possibly.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I thought so. Now, are you young scientific minds? Are you geniuses?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- ALL: Um... - We like to think so.- Yeah!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57You're going to look pretty stupid if you're not.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59What's the cleverest thing you've ever done?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02That's hard... because that's nothing.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- You've never done anything clever?! - Not that I can remember.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09You must have done well in the auditions for the TV shows
0:03:09 > 0:03:12in which you've appeared? You must have been clever, then?
0:03:12 > 0:03:16I suppose learning lines takes some kind of brains, maybe?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19It takes up their whole brain learning lines.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22There's nothing left of their brain to do anything else.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25That's the Blue Team. That's ALL the teams!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28They'll be fighting it out for the honour points
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and they'll have to be sharp, they'll have to be clever.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34They'll have to be on the ball to impress me.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Above all, folks, just do your blooming best,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39do you know what I mean?
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Let's start things gently with a nice, difficult question. Ha-ha!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Hey, guys! Get a load of this.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Look what I have here. A candle which I will burn at both ends.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53And that's what we'll find out - I'll light this at both ends
0:03:53 > 0:03:57and something magical will happen. What's it going to be?
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Does it:
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Your thinking time starts...now!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17This has certainly caused a debate amongst our contestants.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Weight distribution is the key thing to remember here.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25THEY CONFER
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Well, teams, have you thunk it through?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Please, reveal your answers...now!
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Look! Three different answers. Very curious.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39The teams are split between B, A and D. Hey, that spells BAD!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42The Green team, you've gone for A. Why?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- We think it will bend in the middle...- Ah, yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48..because the weight of the two lit candles on each side
0:04:48 > 0:04:50will outweigh the middle of it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Ah! You think by lighting the two ends, the flame
0:04:54 > 0:04:56will make it heavier, is that right?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Is that your thinking? Ooh, curious! Good answer. Let's see.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02What about the Yellow Tangs? You've gone for B.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05You think it's going to spin like a wheel. Why?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Because the weight of one, when it flames, it will spin...
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Yes...
0:05:10 > 0:05:14..and so when the end is spinning, the other end will be brought up,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16so it will spin continuously.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19One gets heavier, the other gets lighter.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22That makes that lighter and that gets heavier.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Good answer. Beaker's Blues, you've gone for D. Something else.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27You've been thinking.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Oh, no! They've been thinking. What have you thunk?
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- We were thinking...- Yes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- ..that if you set the fire off at both ends...- Yes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- ..they'll burn at an equal pace. - Yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41And they'll burn to the end of the candle
0:05:41 > 0:05:43and balance each other out.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46They will burn down till they get to the middle
0:05:46 > 0:05:49and then just sort of disappear.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Possibly.- Possibly! - It's part of the fun. We don't know.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Of course.- We'll find out when it gets there.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56That's the fun of the game.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01And that's what we'll do right now! Let's give it a go!
0:06:01 > 0:06:02So, here we go.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05I'm about to find out what is the result of this experiment.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08If you should decide to try this at home,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11don't do it, it's dangerous! Do you know what I mean?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Let's have a go!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15You need a nice steady hand, like this.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Ugh!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20One. Fire, fire, burning bright!
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Two.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Another fire burning bright.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26We have two fires.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29What actually happens is, as the candle goes down,
0:06:29 > 0:06:32it burns some of its wax which means it's shed
0:06:32 > 0:06:34some of its weight, getting lighter
0:06:34 > 0:06:37which means it goes up again and it just keeps happening,
0:06:37 > 0:06:42keeps happening TO THE END OF TIME...
0:06:44 > 0:06:47You'll have noticed wax dripping from the lower candle.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51The falling wax alters its weight making the lower end
0:06:51 > 0:06:53lighter and the opposite end heavier.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57As this process repeats each time, there's a movement creating
0:06:57 > 0:06:59a see-saw effect. Can you see?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Yes, so the correct answer is D, something else.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06The Blue Team chose the right option, but they couldn't
0:07:06 > 0:07:09describe what happens so they get five points.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Oh, they'll be so disappointed!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15APPLAUSE
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Time now to use a different part of the brain.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21BEHOLDIFY!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25# This place about to blo-o-o-ow
0:07:25 > 0:07:28# Blo-o-o-ow
0:07:28 > 0:07:30# This place about to blow! #
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Sorry, little bit of wind!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36GIGGLING
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Which is what this next challenge is about. Yes, wind!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Nature's way of ruining celebrity hair. Isn't that right, Blue Team?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It's a nightmare.- Oh, it's horrible, innit? It's terrible!
0:07:47 > 0:07:50How can you help somebody wearing a parachute,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52to reach the goal line in spite of the wind
0:07:52 > 0:07:55in the quickest possible time?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59We gave our teams three days and a massive budget of £50
0:07:59 > 0:08:01to come up with some answers.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05So, who will be donning the parachute of pain?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Stunt men wouldn't do it and crash test dummies couldn't hack it,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13but for the price of a luxury carrot, the Guinea Pig
0:08:13 > 0:08:16is about to undertake the ultimate challenge.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18And I've literally just told him.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Mr Guinea Pig!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Why is there a giant blender at the end of this carpet?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35You'll be "blown away" by this challenge!
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Not the first time I've walked into your wind!
0:08:37 > 0:08:39PARP!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Blah! Let's see what happens when you try it without a plan.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- PARP! - Ooh, he's right though.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50The object is to reach the goal line in the quickest time possible.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Simple? No, because the Guinea Pig has to run along the carpet
0:08:54 > 0:08:56with a parachute attached to him!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Against the force of this wind machine,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03which can produce winds of up to 25 metres per second.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Three, two, one...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09SWITCH IT ON!
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The force of the wind, caught in his parachute,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19makes it impossible for him to reach the line.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23What can our teams devise to combat the effect of the wind?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30That's what happens when you don't have a plan.
0:09:30 > 0:09:35Let's see what the teams have concocted. First up, it's the Blues.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40Kia, Amy-Leigh and Joe may be stars of the hit TV series,
0:09:40 > 0:09:41The Dumping Ground,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45but can they achieve glory and an award-winning result?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Or will they be dumpy-dumpy rubbish?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52So, it's the turn of Beaker's Blues.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Now, what do we have here?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56- This is ALAN.- Alan?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Yes, it's the Aerodynamic, Lightweight, Anti-wind Neutraliser.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Ooh! This to go up against the wind machine? How's it meant to work?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07OK, there's a shield up front, so the wind will blow into it
0:10:07 > 0:10:10and that will deflect it, creating a slipstream for you to pass through.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What, you're a race car driver now? "Slipstream"?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Or a motorbike, they do it as well.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Ooooh! Look at you, Dr Joe.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We put some sandbags on it so you can throw the sand bags
0:10:20 > 0:10:23out to sort of anchor it, so it doesn't blow backwards again.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So, let's see if it works.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Only one way to find out - let's try it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30So, the Beaker's Blues have designed an aerodynamic cart,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34with a huge shield attached to the front to create a slipstream.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37And sandbags which will be dropped to keep the cart steady.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39They hope that by staying low
0:10:39 > 0:10:41they will avoid the full force of the wind.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44This design should move the Guinea Pig quickly towards the goal line.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46Yeah, right, so they hope(!)
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Three, two, one! Start the timer!
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Oh, dear! It looks as if ALAN, the team's Aerodynamic, Lightweight,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Anti-wind Neutraliser isn't quite so dynamic after all.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Hasn't really got off to a very good start.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Oh, this seems to be taking for ever! Come on, ALAN!
0:11:31 > 0:11:35I've got a plate of biscuits in my dressing room.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Oh, dear! This really is taking the wind out of its sails.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Time to put our Guinea Pig out of his misery.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Oh! So near and yet so far.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50So what do you think went wrong?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I think if the sandbags were positioned at the side...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Yes.- Because at the back it was dragging you back.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57At the side you could've pulled yourself along better.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- It's rubbish, it doesn't work! - Oh, stop moaning, you!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Oh, well, unlucky, Beaker's Blues.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The Blue Team failed to get the Guinea Pig to the goal line in a
0:12:05 > 0:12:06reasonable time because there was
0:12:06 > 0:12:09not enough of a slipstream created with the design at the front.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12And the fact that he was sitting down meant it was very hard
0:12:12 > 0:12:14to push forward, making him extremely slow...and stupid.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19Now, it's time to find out what is the plan of the Yellow Tang.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Poppy, Sophie and Dali
0:12:22 > 0:12:24are from London. When Dali's older
0:12:24 > 0:12:26he wants to become a sports psychologist.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Perhaps he'll be able to analyse the best way to win this challenge.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32What do you think, Dr Dali? Is it possible?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Hey there, Yellow Tang, what is that thang?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, it's called the Suction Sledge
0:12:38 > 0:12:41because you use the suckers to provide resistance to the wind.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I see. What's he actually go to do?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45He's got to lie down and put one forward,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48drag himself forward and then hopefully that's....
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Hopefully? This is a science show, there is no hope involved!
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Who came up with the umbrella idea?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56It was meant to be a shield, but the umbrella's brilliant
0:12:56 > 0:12:58because you can see through it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01A shield?! Great bit of spin doctoring there - shield(!)
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Yes - extra visibility. Do you like it, Guinea Pig?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Do you think it's going to work? - Absolutely not! You just want to
0:13:07 > 0:13:08use me as your test subject.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Well, you are a guinea pig!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Hey! What about you Blues and Greens?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Do you think this could work? Does it look good?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Yeah.- It's got some potential.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- IN SMALL VOICE: - Yeah...maybe...not sure...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20could do...might do...meh...yeah...
0:13:20 > 0:13:23So! Guinea Pig, it's time to try this out.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Ladies and gentlemen, the Yellow plan!
0:13:26 > 0:13:30Now, the Yellows are also trying to crawl beneath the full
0:13:30 > 0:13:31force of the wind.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33They're hoping these suction pads will help steady
0:13:33 > 0:13:36the Guinea Pig as he pulls himself along the carpet.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39The team hope that this, as well as his little umbrella will
0:13:39 > 0:13:40overcome the resistance of the wind
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and help him move quickly towards the finish line.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Well, that's the plan anyway.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Three, two, one!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Start the timer!
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Come on, Guinea Pig!
0:13:53 > 0:13:55He certainly has his work cut out for him in this challenge
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Sucker!
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Use your feet!
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Ooh, these suction pads are proving to be very tricky to use.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Ohhhh! This is taking absolutely ages!
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Life's too short, all right abandon plan, go on.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Ooh!
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Unlucky there, Yellow Tang, didn't quite work.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Why do you think it didn't work? What went wrong?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- Not sure.- The umbrella wasn't strong enough.- The back...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Ooh! Umbrella failure. - And we needed a better guinea pig.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Did you hear that? - And the back wasn't strong enough.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Have you studied any science before?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Yeah.- Suction cups don't work on carpet.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38So-o-o-o, didn't quite work. Unlucky, Yellow Tang.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41The Yellow Tangs failed in their attempt
0:14:41 > 0:14:44because the suction pads they hoped would pull the Guinea Pig along,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48simply could not grip the carpet and instead they kept slipping.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Now, should the race have taken place on another surface this might
0:14:51 > 0:14:54well have helped. But, as we're not doing it again, we'll never know.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Time to find out what's the plan of the Greens!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01The Green Atoms are from Bristol,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03they are Abi, Ellie and Jack.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Abi loves science and testing things out,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06which should come in very
0:15:06 > 0:15:09handy for this challenge.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12What is it then? Explain, explain!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Well, the cone is going to deflect the wind off of it, and we're going
0:15:16 > 0:15:19to hope that the Guinea Pig's going to have a safe travel.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22And the wind doesn't really go into the parachute.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Oh, I see. Whose idea was this, Dr Jack?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- Abi's.- Ah! Was it all your own?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- So, when it goes wrong, it's all your fault.- Yeah. I have a lawyer.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Oh!- Oh!- Oh, oh, oh! She's sharp. You'd better watch yourself.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I don't think you can sue guinea pigs, we're exempt.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Oh! Stop arguing, you! Get on with it!
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Right! Time to see if the Green plan works.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Now, they hope that by putting a massive
0:15:47 > 0:15:49cone at the front of the cart
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and a sand bag to hold it in place the wind will be deflected away
0:15:52 > 0:15:55from the Guinea Pig creating a less turbulent force to fight against.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well, it sounds good in theory, but will it work?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Three, two, one! Start the timer!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Keep going!
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Keep going!
0:16:15 > 0:16:19SHOUTING
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- Go on!- Keep going!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Go on!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37He's done it I think!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:40 > 0:16:43What a resounding success!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Having the Guinea Pig in a standing position gave him
0:16:46 > 0:16:49much more control, helping him move forward more easily.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52This meant he was able to reach the goal in a reasonable time.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Oh! Good work, Green Atoms!
0:16:54 > 0:16:58You got there, well done, Guinea Pig!
0:16:58 > 0:17:01And well done, Green Atoms, it worked.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- How do you feel about that?- I feel good. Luckily, he's still alive.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05He's luckily... Yes, luckily.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08It was my expert piloting of their useless contraption,
0:17:08 > 0:17:09that's what it was.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So, why did it work do you think?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I think because it was on wheels and he has more control standing up.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- I see. - And it's pushing the air as well.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20It was pushing the air to either side,
0:17:20 > 0:17:23so he was able to sort of cut through the wind, is that right?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Yeah, very streamlined. - Aerodynamic.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Brute strength. - "Brute strength"!
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Rubbish! Well, there we go, 10 points for the Green Atoms.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So, at the end of that round, the Green Atoms are in the lead
0:17:34 > 0:17:37with 10 points. Followed by Beaker's Blues on 5,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39but the Yellow Tangs yet to score.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Come on, Yellows!
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Time to find out what happens in the next round!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Now, it's a chance for our teams to get a little bit silly,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50it's the Brainless Challenge.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Man is the most intelligent of animals
0:17:53 > 0:17:56and the most silly - Diogenes.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Yes, this is the part of the show where we use the silly
0:17:59 > 0:18:00part of the brain.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02A one, a two, a one, two, three, four...
0:18:02 > 0:18:04# Monkey, fish, banana, ping, pong! #
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Thank you, choir.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Yes, as you can see, everybody here is dressed up as artists!
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Because this is the part of the show where we challenge
0:18:12 > 0:18:15the artistic part of the brain.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Two members of the team are going to paint a lovely picture - ah,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20isn't that lovely?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22And one member of the team is going to guess what that picture is.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25"But surely that's too easy!" I hear you cry!
0:18:25 > 0:18:27They'll be able to see it. Ha-ha, yes!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31But what you don't know is the painters will be blindfolded.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Any moment now I am going to show the artists a little card
0:18:36 > 0:18:39with the name of the thing I want you to paint.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41No peeking, you lot!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44The Green Atoms are to paint a giraffe.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46The Yellow Tang have an elephant.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48The Beaker's Blues gets a tiger.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Are you ready? And blindfolds on, teams!
0:18:52 > 0:18:56So, my artists, you are now going to create a masterpiece
0:18:56 > 0:19:00and your time starts...now!
0:19:02 > 0:19:05That's it get some paint on, you haven't got much time,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07get some paint on, get some paint on.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Start painting.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Quicker, quicker!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Yes, very curious and interesting forms shaping here.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Oh, interesting, very interesting.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22Can you see what's going on? 10 seconds left.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26That's it get something on, get something on. Keep painting.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Three seconds to go.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34And there we are! Time is up.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38OK, teams, you may remove your blindfolds.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Ah, again you can see the world.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43You can see what you've done. Wonderful works of art.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Now, we're going to begin with the Green Team, Dr Abi.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51Any ideas what your team-mates have painted for you, here?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54No offence, but I might not have any clue. Erm...
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Oh, what is it? I mean anything you can see on there?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It looks like, like a tall horse - maybe a giraffe?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04You're right! It's a giraffe! Well done!
0:20:04 > 0:20:0610 points for you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Now, Dr Sophie, what do you think your team-mates have
0:20:10 > 0:20:11painted for you here?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Again another curious form, any ideas?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Is it a hippo?- A hippo?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Not a hippo. I'm going to give you another little guess.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Is it a zebra?- No, it's not a zebra, you're wrong I'm afraid.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- Team, what is it?- An elephant.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29It's an elephant. Unlucky, Dr Sophie, I mean look at it,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32it's obvious from here I can see it's got a...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35blob. Now then, Blue Team.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Is it...is it a zebra?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It's not a zebra, I'm afraid.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43What is it please?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45It was a tiger.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47It's a tiger, surely you could see that?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- It had stripes.- It's got green stripes like ALL tigers have!
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Yeah!
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Oh, well. Unlucky, there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57So, Dr Abi, you showed some great cleverness there, well done.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00That's 10 points to the Green Atoms. Congratulations!
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Come and see what I've got over here.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Can you bend water?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I hope so. Have a look at this.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18When I turn this tap here a nice stream of water falls
0:21:18 > 0:21:22directly down, thanks to the power of gravity, into this jug here.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24But what I want you to do is quickly
0:21:24 > 0:21:28and efficiently divert the stream into this jug here.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30How are we going to do that?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Well, using anyone or a combination of these items here - a little
0:21:34 > 0:21:36white glove, a cheesy sponge glove,
0:21:36 > 0:21:37an ostrich's bottom,
0:21:37 > 0:21:39a snow shoe or tennis racket,
0:21:39 > 0:21:40a coat hanger, toilet roll,
0:21:40 > 0:21:41a bicycle pump.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43and a banana-coloured cricket bat.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, you have one minute to think of an answer.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Your thinking time starts now!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52And I'm going to give 5 bonus points to anybody who can
0:21:52 > 0:21:56think of a way of doing it without the objects actually touching
0:21:56 > 0:21:57the stream of water.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00But surely that's magic, isn't it?! Or is it?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04And your time is up!
0:22:04 > 0:22:09OK, it's time to reveal your scientific workings out now!
0:22:09 > 0:22:14FANFARE
0:22:14 > 0:22:17First of all let's go with the Green Atoms.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Can you explain, please?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, the water is trickling down the bottle as planned.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Yes.- But we're going to use the banana coloured bat...
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Cricket bat.
0:22:25 > 0:22:30..to guide the stream down there and into the correct jug.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33And if, and if any excess water drips down we're going to
0:22:33 > 0:22:39put our hand into the cheesy glove to catch any excess water.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41That sounds pretty sound.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Time now to have a look at the Yellow plan.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45What have you got for me?
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Pretty much got the same as them but without the...comedy yellow glove.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Right, Beaker's Blues what have you got for me?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Let's have a little butcher's.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59Well, we actually came up with the same idea as well.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03With the same plan! It's a full house, ladies and gentlemen!
0:23:03 > 0:23:05We have three plans exactly the same.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07SPOOKY MUSIC
0:23:07 > 0:23:10'Are they telepathic? this is an Ultimate Brain first, where
0:23:10 > 0:23:14'all three teams have come up with exactly the same answer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16'What's going on?!
0:23:16 > 0:23:20'I asked my uncle, who is also a monkey scientist
0:23:20 > 0:23:22'if this has ever happened before...'
0:23:22 > 0:23:24No!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We have three plans exactly the same.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Well, let's just see it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Right, whose going to go where in your team?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38Now, Dr Jack will be applying the cheesy glove and you're
0:23:38 > 0:23:40observing and holding the plans.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Very good very good. Now, are you ready?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Switching on the tap... Now!
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Ah! So you see,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49incredibly simple, but effective.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52The other teams did exactly the same thing.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Nobody got the bonus points but they did achieve what was asked
0:23:54 > 0:23:58and the cricket bat creates a perfect surface to divert the water.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But is there an even cleverer way?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Each team won ten points there. Well done, teams!
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Now, here's how they could have won those bonus points.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08using static electricity.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Look at this!
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Here is some handy toilet paper and here is the bicycle pump.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16What I'm going to do is apply the two things together.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20I'm going to cause friction which is going to make static like this.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21SQUEAKING
0:24:21 > 0:24:25Now, I'm going to deploy here, turn on the tap.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Now, the reason this works is very simple.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32When the towel rubs against the bike pump, it produces
0:24:32 > 0:24:35a static charge and the stream of water is then attracted to the
0:24:35 > 0:24:38charge and bends towards it, just like that you see.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41So, that's the scientific way.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Now, it's time for our final round.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45BOOM!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49With the Green Atoms slightly in the lead, the tension
0:24:49 > 0:24:52is unbearable as we enter the final round, THE QUICK FIRE ROUND!
0:24:52 > 0:24:56OK, teams, are you ready? Hands on your brains, please.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58The questions start...now!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02What's 23 + 27 + 50?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- 'Beaker's Blues.'- 100.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Is the right answer.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09What is the freezing point of water?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11'Beaker's Blues.'
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Is it zero degrees C.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Is the right answer!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Does an electron have a positive or negative charge?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- 'Beaker's Blues.' - Negative.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Is the right answer.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Blues storming ahead.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Do I like tomatoes?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- 'Yellow Tang.'- Yes.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Hmm, not really. Is this a pointless question, yes or no?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- 'Green Atoms.'- Yeah!
0:25:36 > 0:25:37I like that answer.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40What 2D shape has eight equal sides?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- 'Beaker's Blues.'- Say it again?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Octagon.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Is the right answer.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48What kind of triangle has the same length on all sides.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- 'Beaker's Blues.' - Equilateral triangle.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Oh, look at those Blues, they're steaming ahead.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55What's 2 x 2 x 2?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57'Yellow Tang!'
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Eight.- Is the right answer.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01What do wild pandas mostly eat?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- 'Beaker's Blues.' - Bamboo.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Bamboo is right.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09What kind of animals are koala bears and kangaroos beginning with....
0:26:09 > 0:26:10- 'Green Atoms.'- Sorry.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I'll offer it over, I'm afraid.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- 'Yellow Tang.'- Marsupula?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18We'll give you that. Marsupials in the right answer.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20That was pretty good.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22So, that's the end of the round and the end of the game.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Have you had fun, teams?- Yeah!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Great, I can now tell you the final results.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30So, in third place,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33with 14 points
0:26:33 > 0:26:35are the Yellow Tangs!
0:26:35 > 0:26:36APPLAUSE
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Second place with 27 points...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Beaker's Blues.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45You did well in the final round, but it wasn't quite enough
0:26:45 > 0:26:47so that means our winners with 32 points are -
0:26:47 > 0:26:50the Green Atoms!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52CHEERING
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Well done, you! Come on, give me five! Give me five!
0:26:54 > 0:26:58That's five! That's ten! That's 15! That's a full set.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Bingo!
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Well done, you! What a brilliant team you were!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06What do you think was the secret to your success?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Being wrapped with flowers!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11What made you so good, Dr Jack?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Erm, our skills.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Your skills? Anything else?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18The fact that we were able to answer some questions.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23Always a good thing in a questions round, being able to answer them.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Well done. Have you enjoyed yourself, Guinea Pig?
