0:00:05 > 0:00:08What will happen to this dry ice in our super air chamber?
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Can our teams get GP along a slimy pole
0:00:12 > 0:00:14with their ingenious inventions?
0:00:15 > 0:00:19And how do you carry toxic alien juice without touching it?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Turn your genius levels up to 11, it's time for...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:00:27 > 0:00:29PISTOL FIRING SOUND EFFECT
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- Ah-ha! - HE LAUGHS AND GIBBERS
0:00:32 > 0:00:34My name, Dr Brain.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36My task, simple.
0:00:36 > 0:00:40To find the cleverest, cunning minds of dastardly deduction using
0:00:40 > 0:00:46a blend of mind-boggling science and fantastically fabulous ingenuity.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Man, I lurve this job.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50WHOOSHING
0:00:50 > 0:00:53This is Ultimate Brain!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's meet our mega-minded contestants
0:00:59 > 0:01:01vying for victory on today's show.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03The team in green are mean on the answer scene!
0:01:03 > 0:01:07From Worthing, it's Alfie, John and Elysia!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12They're dressed in yellow, but they're not here to mellow.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16From Hertfordshire, it's Izzy, Ellie and Ellen!
0:01:16 > 0:01:21And our celebrity team in blue are the stars of CBBC's So Awkward!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22It's the so fantastic
0:01:22 > 0:01:27Cleo, Sophia and Ameerah!
0:01:28 > 0:01:33Right, my super brainbox detector sense is going c-c-c-c-crazy!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37I detect incredibly clever people nearby.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Oh, and here they are!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42- It's the Greens! How are you doing, Green Team?- Good.- Good, yeah.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Dr John, feeling good? - Yeah, I'm good.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46You look like a serious kind of guy.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49What do you want to be when you get out of school?
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Er, I want to be a biologist. - Biologist, brilliant!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53What's your team name?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59Fantastic to meet ya, it's the Greens!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03Over here, it's my good friends, the Yellows. How are you, Yellows?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- Good, thanks.- Good.- Good. - Fantastic. Now, then, Dr Izzy.- Hi!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10What would you like to be when you get out of school?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I want to, like, work abroad and go into politics
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and help change the world for the better.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- Oh! I love that, help bring people together?- Yeah.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Make the world a better place to live in.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I love it! What's your team name?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Brilliant! The Yellows!
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Now, then, now, then, now, then, Blues.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36So, you are the stars of the brand-new smash-hit show,
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- So Awkward, is that right? - Yeah.- Yes.- Yeah, I thought so!
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- Dr Cleo.- Hello. - Ever done any experiments?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47We do a lot of stuff in science. We use, like, measuring things.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Measuring things? - Cylinders, measuring cylinders.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Cylinders, yes, we'll go with that. - And I'm prone to dropping things.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Oops!- I tripped over and I dropped it,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59and it was mercury inside so we all had to evacuate the room.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Oh, no, and being mercury it went everywhere, I suppose.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- It went everywhere.- From little tiny bubbles and then all over the floor.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Caused a bit of a commotion.- Whoops!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09So, Blues, what's your team name?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Banterlicious. It's the Blues, everybody!
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Marvellous. Now, remember, teams,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21you'll need to have your brains set to super-extra-clever mode
0:03:21 > 0:03:24at all times if you want to grab the points on this show.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- COCKNEY ACCENT:- And I ain't mucking around, d'you know what I mean?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30It's time for Brain Ignition.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh, yeah,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42let's warm up those brains with a nice simple question.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46It's time to meet one of my biggest fans. Ha-ha!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Well, I say biggest, I mean smallest.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And not the kind who hang about outside the studio screaming,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53"Oh, my God, Dr Brain! You're so good looking,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55"please can I have your autograph?"
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Not that kind, ha-ha!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00This ingenious plastic box has an extractor fan on the top,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04you see, and a gap at each corner, you see?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07At the bottom of the box is a bowl of water with some dry ice in it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's pretty cool, isn't it? Ha-ha!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13So the question is, what will happen when I turn the fan on?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Ohhhhh, ha-ha!
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Look at the confusion on their faces.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Actually, the answer's quite simple, but to make it even
0:04:21 > 0:04:24simpler for them, you're going to have four choices, OK?
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Count them, four! So, will the dry ice...?
0:04:40 > 0:04:41Or D...
0:04:41 > 0:04:46Something else entirely that even I, Dr Brain, have not
0:04:46 > 0:04:50thought of with my incredible monkey thinking powers.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55All right, ya box-busting brainy boffins, decide amongst yourselves.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Your thinking time starts now!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01TEAMS CONFER
0:05:01 > 0:05:03So, four choices here.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Think carefully, teams.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09The actual answer might just blow you away!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Have you thought of your answer?
0:05:13 > 0:05:17OK, folks, that's it, that's it, your thinking time is up.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21So, it's time to reveal your answers NOW!
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What have we got?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Oh, an A, a B and a C. Yellows, why A?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30When you blow a fan to anything, erm,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33it automatically blows out the corners, so if...
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Ah, yes, of course. - It'll go out the corners of the box.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39So, the air is going to go in and it's going to force
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- everything outwards?- Yes. - Well, I wonder if they'll be right.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, let's go. B, Greens! Why B?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49The fan will cool it down, and if you make something,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52er, cooler, then it will solidify or freeze.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55It's going to change the temperature of the dry ice,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59and you think it's going to cause it then to sort of freeze into a shape?
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- Yeah.- Oh, I see! Again, could they be right? Mmm!
0:06:04 > 0:06:05C!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08You Blues, you've gone for C. Why have you gone for C?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11If it's a fan, then it should go up!
0:06:11 > 0:06:14If it's like an extractor fan,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17so it's all...it would, like, take it out, so it would pull it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Ah, but will it all go up? Very interesting.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22OK, so you think you're clever, eh?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27Let's see what actually happens when we turn the fan on. Shall we do it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- ALL: Yes!- Yeah, let's do it, here we go, switching on!
0:06:31 > 0:06:35The fan is on now. Look what's happening, ah, the air's going up.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Oh, but what's happening there?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Ooh!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It's a twister!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45As the fan draws the air up and out of the chamber,
0:06:45 > 0:06:50air from outside the box is forced in through the gaps in the corners.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Now, the position of these gaps causes this incoming air to
0:06:53 > 0:06:56create a spiral there, you see?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And the dry ice allows us to see that spiralling air.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01Wow, look at that!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04So, the answer is D,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Something Else! A tornado!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11So, unfortunately, nobody got that one right.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13No points for anybody, I'm afraid.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Now, my friends, it's time to think a little differently!
0:07:25 > 0:07:30It's time for a Creative Challenge! Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33We call this challenge Slippery Pole Smarty Pants!
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I had a telephone call the other day.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It was Prince Charles. He said...
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- AS PRINCE CHARLES: - "Er, Hello, Dr Brain.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43"Now, I have an invitation for you here from Mumsie
0:07:43 > 0:07:45"to come to the palace.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47"We've got a medal for you to pick up."
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I said, "Oh, it must be in recognition of all
0:07:50 > 0:07:53"my wonderful work that I do in science."
0:07:53 > 0:07:55He said, "No, not you, you idiot. It's for the Guinea Pig."
0:07:55 > 0:07:57"Ah... What?"
0:07:57 > 0:08:00Yes, the Guinea Pig's got to go to Buckingham Palace,
0:08:00 > 0:08:04and, naturally, he has to look as clean and smart as possible.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I'm not jealous at all that it's...
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- DEEP, GUTTURAL VOICE - ..him and not me!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Unfortunately, the only way GP can get into Buckingham Palace is
0:08:11 > 0:08:14along the drainpipe, but it's all slimy,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and GP can't afford to get all messy. Imagine!
0:08:17 > 0:08:18- AS THE QUEEN:- "One is not impressed
0:08:18 > 0:08:22"with your grubby threads. Off with your head! Hai-yah-hoo!"
0:08:22 > 0:08:23She does karate, you know.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Now, our teams were given two days
0:08:25 > 0:08:27and a massive budget of...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- BOOMING VOICE - ..£50...
0:08:30 > 0:08:33to design solutions to this challenge.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Guinea Pig can climb or dangle from the pole freely,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40but he must not be attached by a fixed harness.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Our teams need to think about balance and friction.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Their devices need to provide enough friction
0:08:46 > 0:08:48to allow GP to move along the slimy pole,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51and enough to stop him from slipping off like this!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Hoo-hoo-hoo, oh, dear!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56They must also come up with a way to keep GP's lovely new
0:08:56 > 0:08:58tracksuit clean.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03The team that keeps the tracksuit cleanest will be the winner!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Yes, please welcome my very good friend
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and my pet, actually,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08Guinea Pig!
0:09:08 > 0:09:10APPLAUSE
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- GP! - DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:09:14 > 0:09:17GP. G... Oh.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- GP!- Oh, hi, Dr Brain. I was just tying my shoelaces.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Right, of course.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Are you ready, Guinea Pig? - Er, I don't know, Dr Brain.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Of course you are, you were born ready, weren't you? Yes, yes, yes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- Right, teams, are you ready? - ALL:- Yeah!- Let's try your plans.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35First of all, it's the Yellows.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- What's the name of your plan? - ALL:- The Hanging Hammock.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40The Hanging Hammock.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- There's a suction glove.- Oh, yes.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- And a scraper.- What are they for? What are they going to do?
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- He will scrape off the slime a bit...- He needs to.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53As the slime will be gone, he'll use his hand to push himself along.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Ah, I see.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58The Science Sisters have put GP in a hanging hammock
0:09:58 > 0:10:01with a blanket to cover his treasured tracksuit.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03They're hoping he'll be able to scrape the slime off
0:10:03 > 0:10:05with his scraper,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08allowing his sucker glove to firmly grip on to the pole.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12This should give him enough friction to push against the pole
0:10:12 > 0:10:14and drag his hanging hammock forwards.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Well, you've thought of everything. Sounds pretty good to me.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Shall we see it in operation? - Yes.- Yeah.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Let's do it. Ready, Guinea Pig?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Do you really think this is going to work or are you just HAM-MOCKING me?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Ha! HAM-MOCKING me! Very good.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Here we go, then. Three, two, one.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Go, Guinea Pig! - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Scrape off a bit of slime!
0:10:33 > 0:10:37So he's scraping a bit there and now he's putting the suckers on.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38He's trying to push...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Put it round the side, put it round the side of the pole.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43You can use both hands
0:10:43 > 0:10:46if you need to, you can put the sucker down if you need to.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Don't worry about scraping off the slime.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Ooh, they've abandoned the scraper but what about slippy slime?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Put it down on the blanket and use both hands...- And pull.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57And then pull.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01Even with the suckers, GP can't get a grip! Look!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05You know those things that are attaching your hammock? Use them.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Pull them. Pull.- Higher! Higher! - Move your hands higher.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Move your hands higher up!- Oh, no.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14The weight of Guinea Pig, he can't quite shift himself,
0:11:14 > 0:11:15he can't get any mo...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17KLAXON SOUNDS
0:11:17 > 0:11:19That's time up, I'm afraid.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Stop, Guinea Pig, stop, stop, stop.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I'm afraid that's time. - He went there and then came back.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Oh, those suckers sucked big time and not in a good way.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The surface was just too slippery and slimy, meaning there was simply
0:11:32 > 0:11:36not enough friction for them to form an airtight seal on the pole.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39GP's heavy hammock was going nowhere fast, mate.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- That's a shame, isn't it?- Yeah. - Let's see how the Greens do.
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- What's the name of your plan? - The Slippatron 5,000.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52The Slippatron 5,000, available from all shops soon.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What does it involve?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- He holds on to two of the hoops with his hands...- Yes.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00..and then the other two go around his feet
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and then sweeping motion with hands...
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Yeah, he'll swing himself along. - Now, what's he wrapped in?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Clingfilm.- Clingfilm.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12So, the #Sciencey Monkeys will dangle GP from the pole with
0:12:12 > 0:12:16lightweight hoops and cover him in clingfilm to keep him clean.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19They hope he can slide the hoops along the slimy pole
0:12:19 > 0:12:21using a sweeping action with his arms and legs.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Oh, it might just work!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24Then again, it might not.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- OK, are you ready to see your plan in action?- Yeah!- Yes!
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Let's see it. Three, two, one. Go, Guinea Pig!
0:12:30 > 0:12:31KLAXON SOUNDS
0:12:31 > 0:12:35You can shout encouragement. Oh, look, it's working pretty well.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Yes!- Wow, look at that! You've done it.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40THEY CHEER
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Wow, the #Sciencey Monkeys' lightweight hanging hoops
0:12:43 > 0:12:47meant GP could easily slide them along the slimy pole.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49They used the lack of friction to their advantage,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51speeding him to the finish line.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53Nice job!
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Of course, the big test is now, did you keep him clean?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Let's have a look.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, yes, I can see from here there's a little bit on his knees
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and a little bit on his chest but it's on the clingfilm
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and not actually on him, which means you did it!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Well done, Greens! - CHEERING
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now, then, let's see how the Blues do.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Well, the Greens have set a bit of a target there.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15How are you going to beat it, Blues?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, we're hoping that he can use his hands
0:13:18 > 0:13:19and his feet to get across the pole
0:13:19 > 0:13:23by trying to scrape the slime off with the scrapers on his shoes.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Oh, so those are the things on his shoes, they're sort of scrapers.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Yeah.- And he's covered in something. - Yeah, he's...- Bubble wrap.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31To protect him from the slime.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35Team Banterlicious hope GP will remove the slime
0:13:35 > 0:13:38by scraping it away with his special scrapey shoes.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Then, gripping the pole with his hands, the plan is for him
0:13:41 > 0:13:45to shuffle along in his Banterlicious bubble wrap Baby-gro.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48It could be bubbly bad, but could be bubbly brilliant.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Now, what's the name of your plan? - Gripilicious.- Wonderful name.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Shall we see it action?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Here we go. Three, two, one. Go, Guinea Pig!
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- KLAXON SOUNDS - Use your hands and your feet.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Slip along!- He's going.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You can use your shoes to scrape it off if you need to.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Well, he seems to be going quite well without it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Keep going.- Push!
0:14:10 > 0:14:13'GP seems to be shuffling along in style, but wait,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16'it's getting slippy.'
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Oh, no! Oh, now that's changed things.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23That's put the cat among the pigeons.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Use the shoes!
0:14:24 > 0:14:27THEY LAUGH
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Keep going, keep going!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Keep going!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Go on, Guinea Pig. Oh, Guinea Pig.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- KLAXON SOUNDS - Oh, we're out of time, I'm afraid.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Oh, dear, GP's scrapey shoes were useless.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48A lack of balance and friction meant he soon slipped
0:14:48 > 0:14:52right off the slimy pole.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Now, if you got points for comedy,
0:14:54 > 0:14:58you'd be through the roof by now because that was funny.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It didn't quite work. What went wrong?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05- I think the bubble wrap kind of stuck to the slime.- Unlucky!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09So that means no points, but the Greens get ten!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Well done, you Greens.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21FLIES BUZZ
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Pesky flies! Now, this round is all about super speedy reactions.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Which of our brainy teams has the fastest reactions?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28It's time to bring out...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32the Slooowmoooonizer.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36This epic camera records in supeeeer very slooow motion
0:15:36 > 0:15:38so that I can accurately see who the winner really is.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40On the random sound of Dr Brain - hai-yah! -
0:15:40 > 0:15:44one member of each team will strike these breadsticks
0:15:44 > 0:15:47in front of them using a karate chop motion.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50The first contestant to chop through the breadsticks
0:15:50 > 0:15:53in a singular chop motion is the winner.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55OK, here we go.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05Ready?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Hai-yah! Stick-tastic stuff!
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I've never seen breadsticks destroyed so quickly!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Chop-alotta action there but who's karate mitten was the fastest?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20It's impossible to tell.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, there's only one way to be sure, folks.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Activate the Slowmonizer!
0:16:27 > 0:16:28Let's how a look then, now.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Oh, Dr Elysia's on the move there.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Dr Ameerah right behind her.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Dr Izzy still asleep.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Oh, but look, Dr Elysia has broken the bread
0:16:36 > 0:16:37before Dr Izzy even moved!
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Amazing.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43Crumbs, that was close. So, the first person to touch it...
0:16:43 > 0:16:44- was Green! - CHEERING
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Well done, you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Let's see it again. Here she goes. Bosh!
0:16:49 > 0:16:51What's it done to the scores, though? Let's have a look.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Yes, look, it's kept them in the lead there with 20,
0:16:54 > 0:16:55nothing for anyone else.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Got some alien friends staying with me at the moment.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I met them on one of my space missions.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10They're from the planet Craaargh, you see,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12and in order to make them feel at home
0:17:12 > 0:17:15I've made them some of their very own special favourite,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Craaarghian Crihunga juice.
0:17:19 > 0:17:25Now the problem is Crihunga juice is toxic to humans and monkeys.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29So, teams, can you help me get these bottles of Crihunga juice
0:17:29 > 0:17:31over to the toxic box?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Now, the game is you've got to pick up our bottles,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37without touching them with your hands,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41get as many of them as you can over to the toxic box over there
0:17:41 > 0:17:45using any two of the scientific materials
0:17:45 > 0:17:48that you have there on your laboratory desks in front of you.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49There, you see.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53Now, if you drop a bottle, that's it. It's gone.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57The team that transfers the most bottles to the toxic box
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- will win the game. Do you understand?- Yep.- Yeah.- Brilliant!
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You have three minutes to confer
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and decide on your best method of transportation.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Your time starts now!
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- KLAXON SOUNDS - Start thinking.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Scoop it up from the bottom and then we can slide the plate under...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16'The teams need to think about how to counteract gravity,
0:18:16 > 0:18:19'the force that's pulling the bottles towards the ground.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's going to fall, I can tell you that.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25'They can do this by supporting them from the top or the bottom,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27'but the bottles of Crihunga juice are pretty heavy
0:18:27 > 0:18:30'so their devices will have to be strong enough
0:18:30 > 0:18:31'to support their weight.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35'Remember, the items can touch the bottles but their hands can't
0:18:35 > 0:18:37'and they can use two items that work together.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39'Can they do it?'
0:18:39 > 0:18:40KLAXON SOUNDS
0:18:40 > 0:18:42There we go, time's up. Time's up.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47What fantastic toxic transportation devices have you come up with?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I can't wait to find out. Greens, you're up first.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Everybody else, please put your blindfolds
0:18:52 > 0:18:56and your ear defenders on so you can't see or hear the Green plan.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Now, then, what plan have you come up with?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03We're going to try and stretch the green balloon over the top of...
0:19:03 > 0:19:04Over the top. Don't touch it.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06..of the top of the bottle
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and then we're going to secure it with an elastic band
0:19:09 > 0:19:12and hopefully the air pressure is tight enough so we can pull it
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- and hold it up by the...- So you're going to use air pressure.- Mm-hm.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Who's going to do it?- Me.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- Ready then, Dr Alfie?- Yeah. - Then your time starts now.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23KLAXON SOUNDS
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Let's see how it works, picking up the balloon...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'm watching like a hawk.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28A monkey hawk.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31HAWK SCREECHES, MONKEY CHATTERS
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Yes, now...
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Is the hand touching? No, he's doing quite well.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Ooh, it's tricky, isn't it?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41More difficult than perhaps even I thought.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Ah, you've got to think of something else.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Ooh, #Sciencey Monkeys stretched the balloon skin too far.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Ooh, dear.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52He's going to try that.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Ah, now that...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56He still hasn't touched it.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Placing the balloon between, oh!
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- That's what the game's all about, folks.- Oh!- Oh, dear.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05That's it, watch your fingers there, watch your fingers.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11That's not bad, he still hasn't touched it. Oh, he's working hard.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- That's it. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:20:14 > 0:20:15Oh, your finger touched it.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, dear, that elastic band balloon combination might have worked
0:20:18 > 0:20:20but they touched the bottle. Too bad.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Here we go, that bottle's gone, unfortunately.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27- No, no, put it around it untied before...- Before tying it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28I see, yes, put it around untied
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- and then tie it. There you go. - Yeah, there you go.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33KLAXON SOUNDS
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Ah, and that's time up, I'm afraid.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36We failed badly.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Unfortunately, no bottles means no points.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Let's see how the next team get on.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45So, now, Yellows, what plan have you come up with?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49So, we're going to put the yellow balloon
0:20:49 > 0:20:52over the...
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- ALARM SOUNDS - Oh, mustn't touch it!
0:20:54 > 0:20:57And then we're going to put the elastic band round
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- and then use this as a top and then carry it.- Shall we see if it works?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Yeah.- Dr Ellen seems to be taking charge. Your time starts now.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06KLAXON SOUNDS
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Stretching the balloon now... Watch your fingers.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11'They're starting off very much like the Green Team did
0:21:11 > 0:21:12'but what will they do next?'
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- And then blow it up?- Yeah, that's a good idea. Pop it in like that.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Watch your fingers, watch your fingers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- Good work. Yes, I think we're all right so far.- No, I don't think...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It's not going to stretch.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Ah, look, so she's going to blow into the balloon.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27That's all right, that's allowed.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29The Science Sisters seem to be onto something
0:21:29 > 0:21:33with their balloon inside a bottle plan, but have they got enough puff?
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- I can't tie balloons.- Pop it back in and then really try and pull it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39Yes.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42'Interesting idea, but have they cracked the problem here?'
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Pop it in like that. Just pop your fingers in it.- Unlucky.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- Yeah, like that.- That's all right, your fingers are inside...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Yeah, just leave it like that. - Where's the elastic band?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It's on your wrist.- That's clever.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Watch your fingers. Ooh...
0:21:57 > 0:21:59KLAXON SOUNDS
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Time up, I'm afraid. Unlucky.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04No bottles there.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Ooh, they were so close with the balloon in the bottle.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10If only they'd kept blowing.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Ah, there we go. A lesson learned.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Will the Blues do any better?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17What's your plan?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20What we're going to do is we're going to put the balloon over
0:22:20 > 0:22:24the top of the bottle and then we're going to tie an elastic band
0:22:24 > 0:22:28around it and then hopefully it should stay on, hopefully.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Not hopefully, definitely.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Let's try it. Shall we see it?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Then your time starts now.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37KLAXON SOUNDS
0:22:37 > 0:22:38'Strangely enough,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41'Team Banterlicious are working on the same idea,
0:22:41 > 0:22:42'but will it work this way?'
0:22:42 > 0:22:43ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- Sorry, I saw a bit of finger on bottle there.- Ooh!
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Right, so that bottle's gone.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Sorry, Uncle Crihunga, your bottle's gone. None for you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- GROWLING - Ooh, he's devastated.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Now, your fingers are inside the balloon.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- I'm predicting a bit of touching. - Put it over, put it over like that.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01That's looking better.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Be very careful.- Oh, my God.- Don't spill it. It's harder than it looks.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10And you're getting a good purchase on it.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Watch those fingers, yes, that's all right. Yes, it's good.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Team So Awkward, not that awkward.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17They've managed to stretch the balloon over the rim
0:23:17 > 0:23:20without ripping it or touching the bottom. Excellent!
0:23:20 > 0:23:22That's all right.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Pulling up, giving it a bit of a twang.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Twang-de-lang!
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Right...- That's all right because you're touching the balloon
0:23:33 > 0:23:35and not the bottle so that's allowed.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Ah, here we go. We have one moving.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40This bottle is moving.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yes, she's made it! That's one.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Well done, well done. - KLAXON SOUNDS
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Ah, that's time up!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Which is sort of fortunate
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- because you left your device over there, didn't you?- Oh.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So what would you have done now?
0:23:52 > 0:23:57You see? You didn't think of that, did you? Well done. You got one!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59CHEERING
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Well, what an extraordinary experiment
0:24:03 > 0:24:05and the funny thing is, everybody chose
0:24:05 > 0:24:06almost exactly the same method.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11You all chose the same two objects but only one team, I can reveal,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14managed to get a bottle over to there and that was the Blues.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16- So, well done, you get ten points. - CHEERING
0:24:16 > 0:24:20Now, here's a clever little way to do this.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23So I've got the plastic tube that you had in front of you
0:24:23 > 0:24:25and the balloon.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27You see, the balloon is inside the bottle,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30so what you could do is you blow into the balloon...
0:24:34 > 0:24:35..and then...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39There we have it, you see?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41You can just lift the bottle straight up like that,
0:24:41 > 0:24:45you see, because the balloon is holding it into place.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- DR BRAIN LAUGHS - There we go!
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Now, as the final round of exciting science approaches,
0:24:50 > 0:24:52let's find out what the score is
0:24:52 > 0:24:54with that little thing I call the scores.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57So, Team So Awkward finally have some scores on the board
0:24:57 > 0:25:00but what about those Science Sisters? No, mate, nothing.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06So, my mighty-minded teams.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09This is your last chance to take the points and the honour
0:25:09 > 0:25:11and seize victory.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Get your incredible scientific knowledge at the ready.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- GP!- Let's see what these guys are made of!
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus mainly
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- and a dash of good looks, too. - DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Hands on your desks, teams. Are you ready?- ALL:- Yeah!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Here we go, two points for each correct answer. Let's do this.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What is the longest bone in the human body?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- MOOING - Green.- Femur.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Correct.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Which part of the eye is coloured and surrounds the pupil?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- BARKING - Yellow.- Iris.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Correct.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Which mineral commonly forms the lead in a pencil?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48- BARKING Yellow.- Graphite.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49That's correct.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Which body in our solar system was once classified as a planet
0:25:52 > 0:25:54but is now a dwarf planet?
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- ROARING - Blue.- Pluto.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57It's correct.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The process by which green plants convert light energy
0:26:00 > 0:26:01into their food...? BARKING
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Yellows.- Photosynthesis.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Correct!- Alexander Graham Bell became famous for inventing
0:26:06 > 0:26:07which communication device?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- MOOING - Green.- The phone.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Is right. - END-OF-ROUND BUZZER
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh, and that's time.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Wow! Phew! Quick-tastic stuff.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Your brilliant brains were electric in that round.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Well, some of you did freeze in the blizzard of questions
