0:00:06 > 0:00:08What's the best way to get the guinea pig
0:00:08 > 0:00:10across a very sticky lane?
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Monkey Power!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14What happens when you put electricity through a pickle?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19And will the cast of Hank Zipzer get themselves all in a flap?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21You'll need to run your brain at full power to become the...
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Welcome to Ultimate Brain!
0:00:36 > 0:00:41I have been scouring the universe for brains of the highest quality,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45but I don't have a scouring pad so it's not going very well.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Oh, well! My name is Dr Brain.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52So over here are some wonderful people
0:00:52 > 0:00:54who consider themselves to be pretty smart cookies.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58And my task is to find out if they are, so let's meet them.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Let's begin...
0:01:00 > 0:01:02with the Greens!
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Our first team are Anna, James, and Grace,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06and have called themselves S'not Greens.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Can they blow away the competition?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09It'll run and run. Ha-ha!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11How you doing, Greens?
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Very fine, thank you.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- Where are you from? - Nottingham.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Nottingham! Robin Hood country.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18So, James...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22..any job you fancy when you're older?
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Prime Minister.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- Prime Minister? Aiming low, then. - No.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28What makes you think you have the right qualities
0:01:28 > 0:01:29to lead this country?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- I'm a great speaker...- Good.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32I keep my promises.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Great speaker, never breaks promises...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36You'll never make it in politics, my friend.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39There we go, it's the S'not Greens.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Let's go meet the Yellows.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Next up are Roxy, Hani, and Oscar,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and they've chosen to be known as the Yellow Elements.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Will they trump their way to the circus?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Oh, no, that's elephants, isn't it? Sorry!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50- Hi, Yellows.- Hi.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- How you doing?- Good.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Dr Hani, I happen to know that you play the saxophone
0:01:56 > 0:01:57and you do karate.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Not at the same time, I hope.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- No, I don't. - No, that wouldn't be good, would it?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Tell us about your karate. Are you good?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- Well, yeah, really good.- Really good? - I'm on my black belt.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Getting a little worried here. You're a black belt?
0:02:09 > 0:02:10- Yeah.- That's amazing!
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Dr Roxy... Do you like monkeys?
0:02:14 > 0:02:15- Yeah.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Talking monkeys?- Baby monkeys.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Baby monkeys?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22How about monkeys in pink spandex?
0:02:22 > 0:02:23No?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- I don't know.- Not yet, I'm sure we'll become the firmest of friends.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30So let's meet the third team, the Blues!
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Finally, it's the Blue Penguins, Jayden, Chloe, and Nick
0:02:33 > 0:02:35who all star in the CBBC series, Hank Zipzer.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38They are impressive actors, but can they penguin their way to the...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40to the... Oh, I don't know.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44Dr Jayden, ever played a lion?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Yeah, a few years ago.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48A few years ago. What was that in?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- The Lion King.- The Lion King.- Yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Got a good roar?
0:02:52 > 0:02:54I did, but I think it might have left me.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Can you show everybody how to do a good lion roar?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Roar!
0:02:59 > 0:03:00Very professional, you see?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04He used the diaphragm there and he projected. Acting skills.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Got big science brains, have you?
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- Yes.- Yes?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11What's the silliest science thing you've ever done?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Um... I was using a lit splint to do a hydrogen test
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and I set fire to a friend's blazer.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22What a blazer! What did your friend think?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I don't think he actually found out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26He didn't know?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28No, we just kind of passed it off.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29And he got home later and went,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32"Hang on a minute, what's this? What's going on here?"
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And he had a great big hole in his blazer and it was your fault!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37- Yeah.- Ooh! That's naughty. That's cheeky.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39So there we are. Those are the teams.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Are you up for it, teams? - ALL: Yeah!
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Come on, let's do it!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46All you have to do is impress me with your genius minds
0:03:46 > 0:03:51and you will win the Honour Points and the title of Ultimate Brain!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54But above all, just do your blinking best, do you know what I mean?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Look what I have here...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07No, S'not Greens, it's not a bogey.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11It is, in fact, a pickled gherkin. But what's it doing there?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Well, it's linked to this machine here,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17which is set up to pass 200 volts across it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21200 volts of electricity! La-la-la-la!
0:04:23 > 0:04:24So, the question is...
0:04:24 > 0:04:28What will happen to the gherkin when the electricity runs across it?
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Will it...
0:04:29 > 0:04:33A, cook and turn brown? Ooh, like a sausage.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37B, split and fall apart, like my marriage?
0:04:37 > 0:04:42C, will it explode all over my lovely costume?
0:04:42 > 0:04:48Or D, will it start to glow? Ooh!
0:04:48 > 0:04:50So teams, what's it going to be?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Your thinking time starts...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54now!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56THEY MURMUR
0:04:56 > 0:04:58The teams need to think carefully
0:04:58 > 0:05:02about what a pickled gherkin is made of and what electricity can do.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09OK, teams, time's up! Let's see your answers now!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15So the teams are split between A, cook and turn brown,
0:05:15 > 0:05:17and C, explode!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Greens, why C? Why's it going to explode?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It's because it's the most logical answer.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- It's not going to glow, that's obvious.- Yes.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27And unless you're using, like, an oven,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30it's not going to roast anything.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Oh, I see.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34He's right, I think he might be Prime Minister one day.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35Let's go with the Yellows first.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38What was your reason for choosing A?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40We don't think it's going to explode
0:05:40 > 0:05:43because it's got no fuel in it really to explode, or anything.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Right, I see.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47And we doubt it's going to glow because that's just kind of stupid.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49That's silly isn't it, yes.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And we thought A was the most logical answer, so...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Blues, similar thinking there?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Um... Not quite.- No?
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Once in physics,
0:05:57 > 0:06:02my teacher wired electricity into a very, very thin iron wire...
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Oh, yes.- ..and it burnt.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06So we just thought that was the most logical answer.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09So you think that the electricity's going to put heat into the gherkin?
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Quite right.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13And what does heat do to things? Especially food things?
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It cooks things. Especially things like bananas.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Yum-yum... with nuts... Oh, yum...
0:06:19 > 0:06:21I'm really hungry.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26So, who's going to be right? Is it A or C?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Well, folks, you should know by now
0:06:28 > 0:06:31there's only one way to find out. Let's do this thing!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Now then, I'm a trained monkey scientist.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35So please do not attempt to do this experiment
0:06:35 > 0:06:37or play with electricity at home.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's very, very dangerous, you know?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Release the monkey power!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's smoking.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56Gasp! It's glowing... Magically.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58The glowing gherkin.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01We think he's had enough.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yes, I'll let you off, Mr Gherkin.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09He glowed! Which means the right answer was D!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I'm sorry, teams, that means none of you got it right.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14And that means none of you get the Honour Points.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And that means this poor gherkin needs a shower.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19So do I.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Ah, now if you've ever eaten a gherkin
0:07:21 > 0:07:24you'll have noticed that it's made up of a lot of salty water.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Now this salt contains a substance called sodium.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, when electricity passes through the gherkin,
0:07:29 > 0:07:31it heats up and produces lots of tiny sparks.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34These sparks excite the teeny-tiny sodium atoms,
0:07:34 > 0:07:38causing them to omit this dazzling orangey-yellow light.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Actually, it's pretty much the same way
0:07:39 > 0:07:42that the yellow street lamps work. Isn't that enlightening?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Time now to use a different part of the brain.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Beh-o-o-o-ld!
0:07:57 > 0:08:00So, teams, this is the sticky lane.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03If you tried to walk across this, you'd be slower than a tortoise
0:08:03 > 0:08:07wearing concrete wellies, carrying an elephant driving a milk float.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08So don't try it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, how can you get across
0:08:10 > 0:08:14this sticky, sticky lane as quickly as possible?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17We gave our teams three days and £50
0:08:17 > 0:08:19to come up with an answer.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23But who is going to be strolling along this sticky prom, prom, prom?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27# Come on, let's go
0:08:27 > 0:08:29# Ain't nobody going to get in my way
0:08:29 > 0:08:31# No, no, no, no
0:08:31 > 0:08:34# I'm going to make it no matter what you say... #
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Mr Guinea Pig!
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Hi, GP.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Hello. What are you making me do this time?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52This looks like it's going to be one sticky situation.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57Ha-ha! Sticky sit... Hoo-hoo-hoo! Brilliant.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58Yes, you're going on
0:08:58 > 0:09:01the long, long, sticky, sticky walk to freedom, my friend.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05For this challenge, each team must figure out a way
0:09:05 > 0:09:07to get the guinea pig across this very sticky, tarry floor
0:09:07 > 0:09:08in the fastest possible time.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12They'll be disqualified if his feet touch the sticky surface,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14or if he fails to reach the end.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Which he probably will, being really stupid.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18So how are you feeling about this, Guinea Pig?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Not optimistic. I'll never make it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:25Well, let's see what happens when you try it...without a plan!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26Off you go, Guinea Pig.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28- Ready, Guinea Pig?- No.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Three...
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Two...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33One... Go!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38Look at him go. Look at this incredible speed!
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Oh, I can't see him, it's such a blur!
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Come on, Guinea pig!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46ALL: Come on, Guinea pig!
0:09:46 > 0:09:49You're nearly there. You've only got the whole thing to go.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51CHANTING: Guinea Pig! Guinea Pig!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53So that's what happens when you don't have a plan.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Now let's see what happens when you do.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yes, it's the turn of the Yellow Elements.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02The Yellow Elements are Roxy, Hani, and Oscar.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05This team are particularly fond of science and inventing new things,
0:10:05 > 0:10:07but can they put these skills to good use?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Their plan involves unusual footwear. Ooh!
0:10:11 > 0:10:14So this is the plan of the Mellow Elephants.
0:10:14 > 0:10:15I mean, Yellow Elements.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18So, talk me through it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20What is your plan? What's it called?
0:10:20 > 0:10:21The Ice-Frictionator.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25The Ice-Frictionator!
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Dr Hani, how does it work?
0:10:26 > 0:10:28You're going to have to wear some shoes...wellies
0:10:28 > 0:10:30which have ice on them.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Since you're creating friction,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33you're creating heat which melts the ice,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36which turns into water and the water doesn't stick
0:10:36 > 0:10:38and then you can slide around.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41They've thunk this through, you know? What are the sticks for?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43The sticks are so that you can keep your balance.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Oh, they're balance sticks.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49And with the poles do not touch the black bit on the bottom on there,
0:10:49 > 0:10:50cos it will get stuck.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52I hope you're listening to that, Guinea Pig,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54because it's time to start the challenge.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Get into place! Let's see if it works.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02The team have devised the Ice-Frictionator.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04A boot with an ice sole attached to the bottom.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06The plan is for the guinea pig to walk across using
0:11:06 > 0:11:08the sticks to keep him steady.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Each step he takes will generate friction and heat,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11causing the ice to melt.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Will the water create a smooth, slippery surface for him
0:11:14 > 0:11:15to slide across as quickly as possible?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Let's find out, folks.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22So what are these, Yellows?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24These are our boots.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The icy boots.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- And you are hoping that these are going to create friction?- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Which is going to heat up the ice and get him across the track?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Yep.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Do you think it can work?
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I hope so.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Here we go, let's count him down.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39ALL: Three...
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Two...
0:11:40 > 0:11:41One...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Go, Guinea Pig!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Here he goes. Oh, the ice is breaking.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Not just melting, it's breaking.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52But it's working. Can you see it's working?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- You can encourage him. - Go, go, go!- Give him instructions.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Oh, oh, oh, he's slipping. So that's what the sticks are for.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Balance. Balance.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03It's working quite well, though, so far.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04He's over halfway.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Ah!- And that's half of the ice gone.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08ALARM BEEPS
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Stop the clock, his foot has touched the sticky surface.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Oh, it's a failed attempt.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16The ice broke, your contraption busted,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and that's why it was a failed attempt, I'm afraid.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Oh, dear. This was working really well.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24But unfortunately the brittle ice broke,
0:12:24 > 0:12:27causing the guinea pig's foot to touch the sticky surface
0:12:27 > 0:12:28before he reached the end.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Bad luck, Yellow Elephants.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I mean, Elephants. Oh, I never get that right.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Well, unlucky, good try.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Let's see what the S'notty Greens come up with.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Anna, James, and Grace are from Nottingham.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42Let's hope James's ambition to be Prime Minister one day
0:12:42 > 0:12:46means he can lead this team to victory.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49So now it is the plan of the S'not Greens.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Will it run and run, or just turn out to be a load of dribble?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Oh, that's made me feel slightly sick.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56So how does it work? What is it? What is it called?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59It is called the toilet roll dispersal unit.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- The toilet roll dispersal unit. - The toilet roll dispersal unit.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03The TDU.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07It's a skateboard connected to lots of wallpaper.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11So how does it actually work? Scientifically speaking, Dr Grace.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13The guinea pig stands on the platform,
0:13:13 > 0:13:17and there is meant to be ski sticks to propel it across and balance.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Then the roll keeps rolling
0:13:19 > 0:13:23so underneath the wheels still go on paper, not the sticky thing.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Ah, I see you've thought this through, haven't you?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The S'not Greens are also trying to keep the guinea pig's feet
0:13:29 > 0:13:31from the sticky surface with their Toilet Roll Dispenser Unit.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34They hope that by utilising a skateboard with ski sticks
0:13:34 > 0:13:35to help keep his balance
0:13:35 > 0:13:38the guinea pig will be able to roll across the paper.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Hm... Let's see if they are right.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44- Let's count him in.- ALL: Three...
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Two...
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- One...- Go, Guinea Pig!
0:13:48 > 0:13:49Now what's happening?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52A little stumbling block there as the wheels have hit the edge,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53but he's got it over.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Now it seems to be working.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- Cowabunga, dude. - Oh, what do you think?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Have you got any instructions for him?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Oh, he has fallen over. But he is still there, that's OK.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03That's all right, it still counts, he is still on.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Now he is using the sticks.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- How's it working, do you think, Dr Anna?- Very well.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Yes, it's going to plan.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12There you go, it's done!
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Well done, S'not Greens.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19That's ten Honour Points for you. How do you feel?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- Amazing.- And epic.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You happy with that, Dr Grace?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- Indeed.- Brilliant.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25How did it feel, Guinea Pig?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- It felt liberating.- Did it?- Yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:28To finally win something.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Having the wind rush through my fur.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Wonderful.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Well done, S'not Greens. Excellent thinking.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38The paper created a barrier between the skateboard and the adhesive,
0:14:38 > 0:14:39meaning the guinea pig
0:14:39 > 0:14:41was able to roll across the surface very quickly.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So ten points there for the S'not Greens.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Let's see if the Blue Penguins can equal them.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Stars of CBBC's Hank Zipzer,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Jayden, Chloe, and Nick have all been performing from a young age.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Can they accurately portray the best way to win
0:14:57 > 0:14:59this tricky, sticky challenge, darling?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So, what's your plan called?
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- The Penguinator.- The Penguinator.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06And is that why you have the guinea pig dressed like this?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yes. Blue penguins.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I just want you to know, Guinea Pig, that you look really, really stupid.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15So tell us, how does it work?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, we're going to oil him up, and hopefully oil up the runway,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20so he'll be able to slide on.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Ah.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24And if he doesn't get that far at the first slide,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25he can use the suction pads.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28So if the oil doesn't work, you're in big trouble. Yeah, exactly.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Well, let's see if it works.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Off you go, Pingu.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The team have the guinea pig dressed as a penguin.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39After all, they have tails, wings, and flippers,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42so perhaps this will give him the edge.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Their tactic involves pouring baby oil all over himself
0:15:44 > 0:15:48and on the sticky surface to enable the penguin to slide himself across.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52If needs be, he can also use suction pads, to pull himself along.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54- Are you ready for Operation Penguin? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Let's count him in.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57ALL: Three...
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Two...
0:15:58 > 0:15:59One...
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Go, Penguin Guinea Pig!
0:16:01 > 0:16:0324 seconds to beat.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05He is squirting himself with the oil.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Giving himself a good old squirt. Yes, yes, you can instruct him.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- Everywhere, everywhere, faster. - On your feet, on your feet.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Yes.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16Come on, this is taking ages.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19You'll need to speed up, Penguinator.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21There you go a little bit more on himself.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24He is really preparing for this, are you pleased about that?
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Yes, here he goes, now.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29He's pulling himself along. It's...it's kind of working.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- A bit more, a bit more.- More oil.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- Take off the cap.- Come on, Guinea-penguin. Get a move on.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Well, they haven't won,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42but let's humiliate the guinea pig by seeing how far he can get.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Push, push.- Go, go, go.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46He is stuck. Oh, he's still trying.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Is time going to run out, though?
0:16:48 > 0:16:49Oh, I hope not.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50Go faster! Go faster!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54GONG
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh, no!
0:16:56 > 0:17:00It took too long. You ran out of time.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02The Blue Penguins failed to get the guinea pig
0:17:02 > 0:17:03across the sticky surface.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Lying face down on the floor meant that he had to work even harder
0:17:06 > 0:17:08to pull himself along,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10and there was not enough baby oil applied to make it slippery enough.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13As a result, he was very slow, so I made him polish the floor
0:17:13 > 0:17:15while he was down there.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18It didn't work. Unfortunately, that's a failure.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20But you did quite well, so I'm thinking,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22well, the Greens got ten for theirs
0:17:22 > 0:17:24because they actually got to the end.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27But the Yellows and the Blues both had good plans
0:17:27 > 0:17:31which only just failed, so I'm going to give you both five points.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Well done to all of you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35So at the end of that round,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37the S'not Greens are in the lead with ten points,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41with the Blue and Yellow team both tied with five points each.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Now it's time for our teams to allow their brains
0:17:44 > 0:17:46a little bit of nonsense.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48It's the brainless challenge.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51"A wise man can learn more from a foolish question,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54"than a fool can learn from a wise answer."
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Bruce Lee.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Yes, it's time to use the silly part of the brain now,
0:17:58 > 0:18:01the part known as the fahula-balala-kahila-kuhula.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Let me hear you say, aa-hoo.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06ALL: Aa-hoo!
0:18:06 > 0:18:07That's got them.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10OK, teams, in this challenge you have to nominate one member
0:18:10 > 0:18:14of your team who you think is the most miserable...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17to join us in the zero laughter zone.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And the guinea pig and I will try to make you laugh.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23So, nominate your members now.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28THEY MURMUR
0:18:30 > 0:18:31You ready?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33The Blue Penguins have nominated Chloe,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35and the Yellow Elements have chosen Oscar.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Who do you think the S'not Greens will pick?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Do you get it? PICK. Ha-ha.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41OK, Greens, who's it going to be?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Me.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Dr James.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45The future Prime Minister
0:18:45 > 0:18:48of Her Majesty's Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49It's time to play.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55OK, Dr James, you've got 30 seconds to try to keep a straight face.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Then let's play.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Ooh, hello. Hello, Dr Annie, what lovely hair.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Look at me, I'm Dr Anna. I'm in love with Dr Brain.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07I want to grow up and get married and have his children.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08He's gone.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- He hardly lasted at all.- Aw!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Unlucky, Dr James.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Well, if only all comedy audiences were as easy as you,
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- eh, Guinea Pig?- Mm.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21OK, Dr Oscar, you're doing a fine grimace there.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Do you think you can keep it up for more than nine seconds,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26which is the current top score?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Well, let's see, shall we? Let's play, Guinea Pig.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Look at me, Dr Oscar, I'm Dr Roxy,
0:19:33 > 0:19:37and I look a bit like Thelma from Scooby-Doo.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Hey, he's gone, he's gone, he's gone. Unlucky, Dr Oscar.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43What was it the got you? Was it the Scooby-Doo?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45No, it's Roxy doing Scooby-Doo.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48You didn't quite beat the nine.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51If you had just grimaced a little longer, you might have done it.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Unlucky.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56You would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Good one, Guinea Pig.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00OK, let's see how the Blues get on.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Well, Dr Chloe,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03of course you are hoping to win the Noble Prize
0:20:03 > 0:20:04for medicine in the future.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Of course you're going to have to be very serious for that.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Do you think you've got what it takes?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Maybe.- Well, let's see. Let's play, Guinea Pig.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Oh.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I am Dr Jayden, and guess what I've done.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Pfft!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20I've just done a big pfft and you can taste it.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Ra-ra-ra-ra.- Lu-lu-lu-lu.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Do you have any sense of humour at all?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I can see a smile breaking.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29Don't try and hold it back,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31you're about to smile. I see it cracking.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33This woman has no emotion.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35She is the Medusa of happiness.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Break a face, no, not any chance now.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I need you to use your face, sir, come on.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Ahh!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- GONG - You've done it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Ah, well done, Dr Chloe,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49that means you are officially the most miserable person on the planet.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54Well done. So ten Honour Points for the Blues.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56So we're getting serious now, folks,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59because it's all to play for in this, the next round.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02The round known as the... eh...
0:21:02 > 0:21:04I never remember what it's called.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Oh, yes, the memory game.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11So, teams, first of all you are each going to have to nominate
0:21:11 > 0:21:13a member of your team who you think
0:21:13 > 0:21:16has the best memory to play the game.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So we are going to begin with...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20the Greens.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23So Greens have you nominated? Who's it going to be?
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Grace.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Dr Grace, come and join me in the seat of repetition, repetition,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30repetition, repetition.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Ready, Dr Grace?- Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Remember, the three most important things -
0:21:35 > 0:21:38repetition, memory, and repetition.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40So here we go. Are you ready?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Yes.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Chair.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Chair.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Chair, plant.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Chair, plant.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Chair, plant, hammock.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Chair, plant, hammock.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Chair, plant, hammock, orange.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Chair, plant, hammock, orange.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Chair, plant, hammock, orange, wombat.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Chair, plant, orange, hammock...
0:22:03 > 0:22:07BUZZER
0:22:07 > 0:22:11Unlucky. It was chair, plant, hammock, orange.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Unlucky, Dr Grace.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15So you got to the fourth.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17That means you got four points for your team.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Well done, Dr Grace.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24OK, Dr Roxy, Dr Grace got four there for the Green team,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26so you are going to need five or more
0:22:26 > 0:22:29to stand a chance of getting the ten Honour Points for your team.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Good luck.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Brick.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35Brick.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Brick, computer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Brick, computer.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Brick, computer, chicken.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Brick, computer, chicken.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Brick, computer, chicken, elephant.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Bricken...
0:22:49 > 0:22:51BUZZER
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Oh, unlucky.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I don't think there's such thing as a bricken. There's probably a joke.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59What happens if you cross a brick with a chicken? You get a bricken.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Unlucky.- No.- Unlucky, Dr Roxy.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05So I'm afraid that was only three.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07So let's see how the Blues get on.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10OK, Dr Nick, don't look now,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13but I think Dr Grace is looking pretty smug about her score.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16She doesn't think you can beat her. But can you?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Let's find out. Are you ready?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19Yes.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Five to win, let's begin.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Parsley.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Parsley.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Parsley, house.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Parsley, house.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Parsley, house, ticket.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Parsley, house, ticket.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Parsley, house, ticket, cupboard.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Parsley, house, ticket, cupboard.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Parsley, house, ticket, cupboard, car.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44Parsley, house, ticket, cupboard, car.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47That's the five. But let's see how far you can go.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Parsley, house, ticket, cupboard, car, flowerpot.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Parsley...
0:23:54 > 0:23:56house, ticket, car, no.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59BUZZER
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Oh, unlucky, but you did beat four. You got five, so well done.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's ten Honour Points for the Blues.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08So at the end of that round, Blue Penguins
0:24:08 > 0:24:12are in the lead with 25 points, with the S'not Greens on 14 points,
