0:00:05 > 0:00:10What's the best way to get a dizzy Guinea Pig along an obstacle course?
0:00:10 > 0:00:13How easy is it to move a ping pong ball without touching it?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And can the stars of CBBC's The Slammer Returns string
0:00:16 > 0:00:18a sentence together?
0:00:18 > 0:00:22You'll need to run your mind at full power to be the ULTIMATE BRAIN!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Welcome to Ultimate Brain.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40# I'm looking for the greatest minds in the universe
0:00:40 > 0:00:42# I'm looking, I'm looking for brains. #
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Yes, my name is Dr Brain.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Ladies and gentlemen, we have over here some of
0:00:50 > 0:00:52the finest minds in the universe.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Or so they believe. Could they be talking a load of hoolywoolyhooly?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Well, we will find out. Let's meet the teams.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Our first team are Lucy, Ewan, and Liberty,
0:01:01 > 0:01:04and they are the Mean Green Science Team.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Well, is their dream to make the Green...?
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Oh, I've run out of rhymes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Hello, Greens.- Hello.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- How are you?- I'm fine, thanks.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- Good. Where are you from? - Nottingham.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Nottingham. Dr Ewan.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Yes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20What's the best thing you've ever done in science?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Well, if cooking counts, I've made a cake once.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26You made a cake? Ooh! What kind of cake?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28A raspberry cake.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh. How did it taste?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Uh, it didn't taste very well.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Why not?- I forgot...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Don't tell me - the raspberries.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You got it right.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41He made a raspberry cake, and he forgot the raspberries.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Yes, this could be the next MasterChef, ladies and gentlemen.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Well done, Dr Ewan.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Best of luck to you, the Mean Green Science Team.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Next are Yellow Jaguars. Isaac, David, and Emily.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Will they be as fearsome contesters as their team name suggests?
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Raargh!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Hi, Yellows.- Hi.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Hello.- How you doing? - Good, thanks.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Good to see, you're looking good. Hey, where you from?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05Holmes Chapel.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06- Where's that?- Cheshire.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Cheshire, is it? So, Dr Emily, are you a little bit musical?
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Yeah.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Yeah. What do you play?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15The trumpet, and the keyboard.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16- At the same time?- No.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I was going to say that's clever.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Let's have a jam, some jazz, my friends.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22HE IMITATES A JAZZ TRUMPET
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Monkey Jazz...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Yeah. Relax, folks.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Brilliant, great.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Ladies and gentlemen, the Yellow Jaguars.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Finally, it's the Blue Con Crew. Scarlet, Ted, and Ian.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Stars of CBBC show The Slammer Returns. They might have
0:02:42 > 0:02:45plenty of prison cells, but how are they doing for brain cells?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Not very well by the look of them.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48You're the Governor, ain't ya?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Who's the Governor?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51You're the Governor.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56Dr Scarlet, I hear that as well as many theatrical productions you
0:02:56 > 0:02:59have been involved in, you were once in the production of
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Beauty And The Beast, is that right?
0:03:01 > 0:03:02Yes, it is, actually.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Well, what a perfect opportunity for a repeat performance.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Now, don't be like that, she's not that ugly.
0:03:09 > 0:03:10Hmm.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12So, we are ready to start the show.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15All they have to do is impress me, with their minds,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18their incredible genius brains, and they will get all
0:03:18 > 0:03:20the Honour Points, and win the game,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and be the greatest ever Ultimate Brains.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Above all, don't muck it up - you know what I'm talking about?
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Let's get those brains revved up, and ready to go.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37What have I got here? Yes, a pair of steel spheres.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40We're going to find out what happens
0:03:40 > 0:03:44when I smash these two tiny planets together.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Either side of this sheet of paper.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50What is going to happen?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08So, teams, your thinking time starts now.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10I think D.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12'Hmm, this is an interesting conundrum.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15'Now, they need to be thinking about what exactly happens
0:04:15 > 0:04:18'when two things smash together.'
0:04:18 > 0:04:20OK, that's thinking time up, folks.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Let's see your answers now.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27The teams are split, Yellow Jaguars, and the Blue Con Crew
0:04:27 > 0:04:32have both gone for D, and the Mean Green Science Team have chosen B.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33BZZZ! Ah, get off!
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Well, let's start with the odd one out,
0:04:36 > 0:04:37It's the Mean Green Science Team.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39You've gone for B.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42You think that the collision is going to discolour the paper, why?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45What is the scientific thinking behind this process?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47When we play shot-put in PE
0:04:47 > 0:04:50at school, it makes your hands go all dirty.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53So we are guessing if it makes your hand dirty...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Yes.- ..then it might make the paper dirty,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- and then it will discolour it. - Good thinking.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Well, very interesting, we will find out I suppose, soon.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05Now then, I'm going to come to the Yellows, and ask you your thinking.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We think it won't do anything but it may just wave about, because
0:05:09 > 0:05:16both forces are...should be equal, so therefore it can't tear.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And it's impossible to burn, because there is no point of heat,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22and we don't think it will discolour it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I did.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So, after all that, your answer is D, nothing.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31It's not going to do a single thing. Good thinking, Yellows.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32We'll find out soon, I guess.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36So, Blues, you also thought D, something else, what could
0:05:36 > 0:05:37this something else be?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Same as what he said... - Exactly what he said.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Exactly the same?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Exactly the same.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43No, well, actually we think...
0:05:43 > 0:05:45..some said...well, two for are...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48applying the source of the... and coming to...
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Yes.- ..opposite reaction...
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Ah, yes.- ..then different reaction...to out...
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Yes.- ..through there.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59So, once again, to summarise, you're saying, "Nuffink, mate!"
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Nuffink!- Nuffink!
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, folks, as you should know by now on this show,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07there's only one way to find out, let's try it!
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Let's get into this smashing experiment.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12Here we go, folks.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15A one-a, a two-a, a three-a...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Ooh!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It's burnt a hole in the paper! Who'd of thunk it, folks!
0:06:26 > 0:06:30# I came in like a wrecking ball
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# I never hit so hard... #
0:06:33 > 0:06:38That means the correct answer was A!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40When two steel balls are smashed together
0:06:40 > 0:06:43like this, their kinetic energy, which is the energy they have
0:06:43 > 0:06:47because they are moving, is converted into heat energy
0:06:47 > 0:06:50at the point of contact to burn a hole in the paper.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Although there are no flames,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56the sparks produced a charred hole, along with the odour of burnt paper.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58HE SPLUTTERS
0:06:58 > 0:07:02No points for anybody, I'm afraid, oh, bad luck, teams!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Time now, for the next round. Oooh!
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Challenge number two. The test of our teams' creativity.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- ECHOING:- Beho-o-o-ld!
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Yes, the Course Of Death.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Looks pretty simple, doesn't it, folks? What do you think?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Just a bench, isn't it? And some steps, really easy to go across,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29wouldn't you think?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Yeah, well, try it when you're dizzy
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and you've been spun around in the chair 50 million times!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Think that's easy? Now...
0:07:37 > 0:07:41We gave our teams three days and a massive budget of 50 squillion
0:07:41 > 0:07:45pounds, divided by a squillion, to come up with some answers.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48But who are we going to spin right round, baby, right round,
0:07:48 > 0:07:50like a record, baby, right round, right round?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53# I'm spinning around
0:07:53 > 0:07:55# Move out of my way... #
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Everybody, it's my pet, the Guinea Pig!
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Well done, Pig!- Come on!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07What have you got me doing today?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10You're going to be spun around loads and loads and then you're going
0:08:10 > 0:08:13to be made to walk across a really, really narrow bench.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14So, let's see what happens
0:08:14 > 0:08:16when he tries without a plan...
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Well, get on with it, then!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The Guinea Pig is a highly qualified stunt pet
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and is trained in the art of spinning, slipping
0:08:26 > 0:08:27and falling on his bottom.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Please, leave this to the professionals!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So, the Guinea Pig's in position. Shall we count him in?
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Yeah!- Here we go...
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Three, two, one...
0:08:39 > 0:08:40Spin the Guinea Pig!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Somebody call my lawyer!
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Now...the walk of shame!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The winning team will be the one that helps that giddy
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Guinea Pig keep his balance and get across in the fastest possible time!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02HE LAUGHS
0:09:02 > 0:09:05So, that's what happens when you don't have a plan.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Now let's see the plan of the Mean Green Science Team.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14The Mean Green Science Team hail from Nottingham.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Lucy is a member of the Girl Guides - now let's see
0:09:16 > 0:09:19if she can earn her science monkey badge!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Dr Liberty, you may have a statue named after you
0:09:22 > 0:09:26but do you have a chance, is this your plan, and what is it called?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29It is called Operation Crutcher Plunge!
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Ooh, what does it involve?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Er, crutches with a plunger attached to the bottom.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Well, yes, yes, of course, the clue was in the name, wasn't it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41So, what is actually your hope here, how are you going to help
0:09:41 > 0:09:44the Guinea Pig to get across this and stop him from being dizzy?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The idea was basically since dizziness makes
0:09:47 > 0:09:50you off balance, we thought that the crutches would help you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52So the two things will sort of cancel each other out -
0:09:52 > 0:09:54is that basically the idea?
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Yes!
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Operation Crutcher Plunge!
0:09:57 > 0:10:01The master plan of the Green Team involves giving the Guinea Pig
0:10:01 > 0:10:03a pair of crutches in the hope that the slip resistant
0:10:03 > 0:10:07rubber at the bottom of them will help maintain his balance
0:10:07 > 0:10:09and stabilise his dizziness as he tries to get to the other side.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Time to spin-n-n round and round.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Let's count him in!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17ALL: Three, two, one...
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Spin the Guinea Pig!
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Each team will be allowed about 563,000 spins.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25No, not really, it's about ten.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28He's getting the crutches, getting the crutches,
0:10:28 > 0:10:30he's coming this way...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Go on, Guinea Pig!
0:10:32 > 0:10:33Oh...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Whoo. He's down on one knee. But that's all right, that's all right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Oh, he's just walking now...
0:10:41 > 0:10:44There you go, you did it!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Well done, well done, Guinea Pig.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Just need to see this again because I need to check, erm,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55erm, whether it's as funny as I thought it was the first time.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56HE LAUGHS
0:10:56 > 0:11:01So, 45 seconds there. How do you feel that went, Greens?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Good, yeah. - Happy with how your plan worked?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Yeah.- Yup-yup?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08So, now it's time for the plan of the Yellow Jaguars.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Yes, the Yellow Jaguars. Will their purr-fect plan be up to scratch
0:11:14 > 0:11:16and leave them grinning like Cheshire Cats or will
0:11:16 > 0:11:19they be cleaning out the kitty litter?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21More cat puns, come on, more cat puns!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25So, Yellow Jaguars, what is the name of your plan?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Operation Chicken Legs.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So, what does it involve?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Well, we've got the same idea as the Green Team,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34since crutches help balance.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And there's more surface area to hopefully keep him
0:11:37 > 0:11:38balanced a bit more...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Oh, I see. - ..based on chicken feet.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Cos chickens have got really good balance.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46So, you're going to spin him around like normal beforehand, yes?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50But then we're going to spin him the other way for a bit as well.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Oh, a bit of reverse spin.- It may actually stop you regurgitating
0:11:54 > 0:11:55and feeling sick.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Just giving you a psychic boost.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Come on, you can do this!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04You have 45 seconds to beat.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Let's see if it works - go do it, Guinea Pig!
0:12:08 > 0:12:13Operation Chicken Legs. This team are also using crutches for improved
0:12:13 > 0:12:17balance but have cleverly added tennis balls for extra mobility!
0:12:17 > 0:12:20They also hope that by spinning the Guinea Pig clockwise
0:12:20 > 0:12:24and anti-clockwise, the balance of fluid pressure in the inner ear
0:12:24 > 0:12:27will make him less dizzy, making it easier to get to the other side.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Yeah, good idea, spin him twice, why don't you!
0:12:30 > 0:12:32Here we go. Are you ready to count him in?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Yeah.- Let's do it!
0:12:34 > 0:12:36ALL: Three, two, one...
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Spin the Guinea Pig!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Remember, each team is only allowed full-flunder-fun-fufty-flows spins -
0:12:42 > 0:12:46that's ten in monkey science numbers.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48He's going for the crutches, his going for the bench,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50but he's tripping...he's down!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Go on, Guinea Pig!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55GET UP! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP! GET UP!
0:12:55 > 0:12:57You tell him, Dr David.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Come on! GET UP! GET UP!
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Go on, he's nearly there! this could be a good time.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06He's there. He's done it!
0:13:08 > 0:13:14Wow! 20 seconds! You've smashed it! How do you feel?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I know how he feels, how do you feel?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Very good.- Yeah.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Shall we see that again?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yes, well, I think perhaps we ought to, shouldn't we?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And perhaps again, and again, and again.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30So, that could be the winning time!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Let's find out when we see the Blue plan!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37It's the turn of The Blue Con Crew!
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Their CBBC show, The Slammer Returns,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41is set in a fictional prison.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Will their plan be a crime against common sense?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Do you get it?
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Dr Scarlett, what is the name of your plan?
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Operation Plungenscamp.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Plungenscamp?
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Yeah.- What actually happens, er, what is it?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57It features a Lilo...
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Yes, yes.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01..which is what we're going to have to do after appearing on this show.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02LIE LOW!
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Thank you.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07How's it actually going to work, then?
0:14:07 > 0:14:12So the plan is, the Guinea Pig will come out in his destabilised state.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Yes. - And he'll fall onto the Lilo..
0:14:15 > 0:14:16- Yes- And he'll get onto that
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and he'll pull himself along with a grappling hook.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- "Plan" is probably too big a word for it.- Exactly.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I see, so Greens and Yellows, what do you think?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- Hmm...- NO!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- Yes!- So, no-one's got any confidence in your idea or
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- any confidence in me, thanks! - No, sorry.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36You can do it, you've just got to not fall over.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's going to be the tricky part, isn't it?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- Yeah.- Let's see if it can work!
0:14:43 > 0:14:47Operation Plungenscamp. This plan involves a Lilo and a rope.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50They hope that by laying on the inflated bed the Guinea Pig
0:14:50 > 0:14:51can slide himself across.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Will they feel happy or deflated at the end of this challenge?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56There's only one way to find out.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I've got a sneaky feeling, though.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02So here we go, the Blue plan, falling with style.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03- Ready to count him in?- Yes.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Lets' do it, 20 seconds to beat.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09ALL: Three, two, one, spin the Guinea Pig!!
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I believe I may have mentioned before that each team is
0:15:13 > 0:15:16allowed exactly the same amount of turns, approximately
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and that is nearly about almost ten.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:15:21 > 0:15:22Lilo!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Get the rope! The rope, the rope!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Don't just lie there!
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Go on, go on!
0:15:30 > 0:15:31Pull, pull!
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Heave, heave, heave.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Pull, pull!- Heave, heave!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Are we allowed to help?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40No, I'm afraid not, no.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Hey, what's that noise you all do together? Wha-wha-whaaaaa.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Yes, "wha-wha-wha" is exactly right I think there, Dr Ted.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's a fail, what a shame.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You've let us down. You let yourself down.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Well, that didn't work,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59if only they'd thought of using some sort of lubricant to reduce
0:15:59 > 0:16:02the friction between the Lilo and the bench -
0:16:02 > 0:16:03baby oil, for example, you see.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05But nobody else thinks of these things, only me,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07cos I'm a monkey scientist and I'm clever.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Unlucky. Complete failure there for the Blues
0:16:10 > 0:16:13but, because the Greens did actually make it, they get five points.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16But the winners, because they did it in the quickest time,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18are the Yellows!
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Ten Honour Points - well done, you Yellows.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22What do we get?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Nothing, mate.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30After that round, the Yellow team are out in front with ten points
0:16:30 > 0:16:33with the Greens following behind with five points and
0:16:33 > 0:16:37the Blues have yet to score, which is not really any surprise, is it?
0:16:37 > 0:16:42Time now to noodle your noddles. It's the Brainless Challenge.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47Mix a little foolishness with your serious plans.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51It is lovely to be silly at the right moment.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Horis, an ancient Roman poet.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So, time now to use the silly part of the brain.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59The part of the brain known as Gibson's Brassica.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00I just made that up.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04So what we have here is a bucket full of apples,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06we have some human beings here.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Now what's going to happen is, human being number one is going to
0:17:09 > 0:17:15dunk for the apple, bring it up, pass it to human being number two,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18who is then going to throw it to human being number three,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22who is then going to deploy it into the brain basket.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, here we go, the team with the most apples in the basket wins
0:17:25 > 0:17:29ten Honour Points. Are you ready, folks?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33A three-a, a two-a, a one-a... GO!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's getting messy over there!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45He's got one, he's got one, Yellows have got one.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47There's another one gone in. Oh, good shot!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Good shot there, Dr Izaac.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54One going in there, Dr Ian. Good shot, Dr Ian, doing very well.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56There's another one for Yellows - oh, unlucky.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Unlucky for the Greens there.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Get the apple now, that's the aim.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh, he's got one, he's got one. Yellows have got one.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12Come on, Teddy, come on, son. Get your head in.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Don't eat them!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17GONG
0:18:17 > 0:18:21Oh, we've run out of time, we've run out of time. Well...
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Did we win?- I don't know, you were eating most of 'em!
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Well, they're tasty, them apples!
0:18:26 > 0:18:30So it is time for the count off, starting with the Greens.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Ah, do you think this is going to take long?
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- Ages.- Forever. Ages, forever?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I think that might be a zero.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Unlucky, Greens!
0:18:39 > 0:18:42So, Yellows, let's have a look.
0:18:42 > 0:18:43Are you confident?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Yes.- That's one, that's two, three, four, five, six!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Well, six beats zero, so you are the leaders at the moment.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Pretty good stuff there, Yellows.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Let's have a look. Can you beat six?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59A one-a, a two-a, a three-a,
0:18:59 > 0:19:02a four-a, a five-a...
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Six, it's a draw!
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Ten Honour Points for the Yellows and the Blues.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15So, Yellow team are way in the lead with 20 points.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17The Blues are off the mark now with ten points
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and the Greens are still trailing with five points.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Oh, dear. Et maintenant...Inspiration!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Now, teams, what have we got here?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I'll show ye what ye got here.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Over here we have four ping pong balls in a big loopy thing,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36inside a circle.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38And over here we have a bowl.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41The object of the game is to transport
0:19:41 > 0:19:47the balls into the bowl, using only these objects over here.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51Toilet tissue, tape, bicycle pump, a banana, piece of string,
0:19:51 > 0:19:56a frying pan, a whisk, a hairdryer and a feather duster.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Ten Honour Points for the team that gets all four of
0:19:58 > 0:20:00the ping pong balls into the bowl.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Now you're going to have a think and a confer.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04- You ready to have a think?- Yes.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Your thinking time starts...
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- ECHOING:- ..NOW!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Our teams really need to concentrate here as we test their quick
0:20:13 > 0:20:17thinking, their resourcefulness, as well as their ability to draw.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Each team needs to find a way of moving the balls into the bowl
0:20:21 > 0:20:24without touching them with their hands.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Oh, and I'll give them five bonus points
0:20:26 > 0:20:30if they can do it without touching the balls with any of the props!
0:20:30 > 0:20:31Is that a deal?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33That's time, folks, that's enough thinking time.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34And now...
0:20:34 > 0:20:36# A one, a two and a one, two three,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38# Time for you to show your plan to me. #
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Oh, intriguing.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Oh, now then, let's have a look at the Green plan first.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51We're using the bicycle pump to knock the balls into the pan
0:20:51 > 0:20:53and then we'll carry them over to the bowl...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- In the pan.- ..and tip them in.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- ..into the bowl, and in they go?- Yeah.- Simple!
0:20:59 > 0:21:00ALL: Three, two, one.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Go, Liberty!
0:21:02 > 0:21:06There's one, she's got it in the pan. Mustn't drop them, remember.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09If you drop one, that's the task failed, game over.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It's going well! It's going well.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Look, she's got them all in. All she's got to do now is get them
0:21:14 > 0:21:15in the bowl.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Don't spill them, don't spill any.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22YAY! You did it! That, my friends, is what you call a success.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24You did it, Greens. How do you feel?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Ecstatic.- Pretty good - Great, ecstatic, well done!
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Ten Honour Points to the Greens. Let's see the Yellow plan.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37So, we're going to try and blow the ping pong balls into
0:21:37 > 0:21:41the frying pan, which will have toilet paper scrunched up inside...
0:21:41 > 0:21:42To absorb the shock.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44..and stop it bouncing back out again.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Then we'll carry it into the bowl or something.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It will work because warm air rises above cold air.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Let's see it in action!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Right, so the toilet roll is going into the pan now,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59and remind me again, Dr David, what that's doing?
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Er, that's absorbing the shock.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Absorbing the shock.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Stopping the ball from bouncing out again.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09From bouncing out again. That's good thinking. Thanks, Dr Emily.
0:22:09 > 0:22:11Now he's going over. He's getting the hair dresser,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13this is the tricky bit.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Oh, that's very good, very efficient.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Oh, careful there, don't knock it over!
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Remember, you mustn't drop them or there'll be no Honour Points.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23That's good so far.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Now very carefully, very carefully put it down...yes...
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It worked, you did it!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Ten Honour Points for the Yellow Jaguars. Raargh!
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Let's see the Blue plan.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Come on, then, Blues, what's the plan?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Well, we wish we knew.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43We've considered various options. First of all
0:22:43 > 0:22:48we looked at this possible equation, the pan versus the banana.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Erm, so then we drew a nice picture of you.- Lovely, thank you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52Thinking we'd get extra points.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Yes, did you get my good side?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It does look very similar.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58And then we evolved to using the whisk to whisk it away.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02But in the end I think we're going to go for...remind me?
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- I think we're going for... - Pan and banana?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So we're going to knock the balls off, into the glass bowl.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12And that's the plan. Before he loses the will to live.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Let's see it in action.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It is a very nice drawing of you!
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Are you ready?
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Pan, banana, let's do this.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Lovely. Give it your best, love.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Don't let us down, Ian. - Count him in.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35Three, two, one, GO!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Oh, yes, that's working so far.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Careful. - Yes, yes, yes, and another.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Oh, no.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm afraid it's a fail. Come over!
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Oh, dear. So the Blue Con Crew failed in their attempt
0:23:50 > 0:23:54because Dr Ian was a little bit too heavy-handed with his banana
0:23:54 > 0:23:57technique, just like his acting.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Once again, you've let us down, Mr Burgess, I mean, Ian.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Yes, no points to the Blues.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Now this is how a monkey scientist would have done it
0:24:08 > 0:24:11and how the teams could have won those five bonus points
0:24:11 > 0:24:13by applying the Bernoulli principle.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16What's that, I hear you ask?! All you need is the hairdryer.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19The upward pressure from the hairdryer balances the downward
0:24:19 > 0:24:22force of gravity, keeping the ball floating in the air.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27That's the appliance of science, folks, it goes into the bowl!
0:24:27 > 0:24:28Lovely, just time to do my hair.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31You got to look after yourself, ain't ya, in this game?
0:24:32 > 0:24:36So, the Yellow team are still way ahead with 30 points.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39The Greens have moved into second place there with 15,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42and the Blues have ten points.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46And so with the Yellow Jaguars...
0:24:46 > 0:24:50slightly in the lead, we enter the final round, the quick fire round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Blues, Greens, this is your last chance to become Ultimate Brains.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54Are you confident?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Up to there with confidence.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59You get two points for every correct answer you give me. Let's do this!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02How many days does it take for the Earth to try to...
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- I'll say that again.- Yellow Jaguars.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06365.25.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Whoa! Yes, well done.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11On what continent beginning with A am I most likely to find a penguin?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13Yellow Jaguars.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Antarctica.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Is correct. How many sides does a nonagon have?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Blue Con Crew.
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Nine.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Correct. True or false,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25a kilogram of feathers weighs less than a kilogram of rocks?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Blue Con Crew.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27False.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Very clever, Ted. They weigh exactly the same!
0:25:30 > 0:25:33If I have 46 bananas and Guinea Pig gobbles 13,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35how many bananas do I have left?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Yellow Jaguars.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Er, don't you have 33?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Yes, I do have 33, well done.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Who is playing the Doctor in the new Doctor Who?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Blue Con Crew.
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Peter Capaldi.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47Is the right answer.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50How is a leap year different to a normal year?
0:25:50 > 0:25:51Blue Con Crew.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53There is one more day in it.
0:25:53 > 0:25:54In?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56In the leap year.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Yes, all right. Which part of your body controls your balance?
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Yellow Jaguars.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Brain?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Yes, but I would have accepted ear as well, yes.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06What is four times four?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Yellow Jaguars.
0:26:07 > 0:26:0816.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Is right. What force keeps the moon in orbit around the Earth?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Yellow Jaguars.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Gravity.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Correct. What has more stored energy? A sparkler or a hot bath?
0:26:19 > 0:26:20Blue Con Crew.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21A sparkler.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- NO! A hot bath!- Oh!
0:26:23 > 0:26:25What kind of triangle beginning with I,
