0:00:05 > 0:00:09What on Earth will happen when a violin bow plays a plate of salt?

0:00:09 > 0:00:13Can the teams stick Guinea Pig to the Ultimate Wall?

0:00:13 > 0:00:17And we let coconuts go to our heads in our inspiration challenge.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19Set your brains to genius, turn the fun dial to 11

0:00:19 > 0:00:22and have your most thinking thoughts at the ready for...

0:00:32 > 0:00:35- HE CHUCKLES - Welcome, welcome, welcome.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37My mission is simple,

0:00:37 > 0:00:38to seek out and discover

0:00:38 > 0:00:41the brainiest brain boxes in the universe,

0:00:41 > 0:00:43record their knowledge levels,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45investigate their inspiring inventions

0:00:45 > 0:00:47and test their quick thinking.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50My name is Dr Brain.

0:00:55 > 0:00:56Ooh, ow!

0:00:56 > 0:00:59And this is Ultimate Brain. Make it so.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Let's meet the magnificent minds

0:01:02 > 0:01:04hoping to excel in today's experiments.

0:01:04 > 0:01:07It's the lean, green science machine from Liverpool.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16From Manchester, yes they're two girls and a fella dressed in yella.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23And our celebrity team in brilliant blue, from Newsround...

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Today's terrific teams will be playing for honour and,

0:01:31 > 0:01:34more importantly, hoping to impress a very clever monkey.

0:01:34 > 0:01:36Let's find out who they are.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40- Look at you! It's the Green team, how are you doing?- Good!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42- Now, do you like your science?- Yes.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44- Yes, are you good at it?- Yes.

0:01:44 > 0:01:45- How about physics?- Yes.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Chemistry?- Yes.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Biology?- Yes.- Full set!

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Now, what's your team name?

0:01:52 > 0:01:53Love it!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56You're looking cool there, Yellows. Are you feeling cool?

0:01:56 > 0:01:59- Yes.- Are you up for it?- Yes. - Now then, do you like your science?

0:01:59 > 0:02:03- Best subject.- Is it?- Yeah. - Good, I like you.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04What is your team name?

0:02:07 > 0:02:10# Blue, blue, blue, blue, I got the Blues. #

0:02:10 > 0:02:12It's the Blues, how are you?

0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Good, thank you. - Good to meet you.

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Now, of course, I know

0:02:15 > 0:02:18but just tell our friends at home what show you're from.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- We are from Newsround!- Newsround! - Newsround!

0:02:21 > 0:02:24- We're the brainboxes of CBBC. Allegedly.- Supposedly.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25Yes. Now, Dr Ricky,

0:02:25 > 0:02:28I hear you had a bit of a problem with bzzzzzzzzz...

0:02:28 > 0:02:29with a fly.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32I did. A couple of months ago, I was presenting Newsround.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34I took in some breath, like that,

0:02:34 > 0:02:38getting ready to read my next item and I swallowed a fly.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41And for the rest of the bulletin, I couldn't talk!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Well, Blues, what's your team name?

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I like it! It's simple and to the point.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51But of course, only brains of truly mind-bending brilliance

0:02:51 > 0:02:52will succeed on this show.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, everybody, set your think boxes to awesome

0:02:55 > 0:02:57and prepare to get clever.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59It's time for the first round!

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Ah, here we are, here we are, here we are. Hey, look at that.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Well, as your cunning eyes will have spotted,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16on the table is a violin and a little pot of salt.

0:03:16 > 0:03:19That must be exciting, is it? No? Ah.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Ah, but wait! What will happen when I spread some of the salt

0:03:24 > 0:03:26onto the metal plate

0:03:26 > 0:03:30and then I run the violin bow down the edge of the plate?

0:03:30 > 0:03:32Aaah, now you're interested!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Ooh, now it's fascinating!

0:03:35 > 0:03:37Look at the confusion on their faces.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40I'm going to give you all four choices. Count them, four.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42So, will the salt...

0:03:57 > 0:04:02..something that perhaps even I, Dr Brain, haven't thought of but

0:04:02 > 0:04:05you, or maybe you, have thought of.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I can see you're all crackling with cleverness.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Good! Now, it's time for you all to have a little chat

0:04:10 > 0:04:12and decide amongst yourselves. Are you ready?

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Yes.- Your thinking time starts now!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm going for a little play.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- ROCK MUSIC - Lovely.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22THEY ALL WHISPER

0:04:22 > 0:04:24So, four choices.

0:04:24 > 0:04:28Our teams need to think carefully to solve this salty conundrum.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31Have you thought of your answer?

0:04:31 > 0:04:33So what's it going to do? Is it going to bounce?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35- BUZZER SOUNDS - OK, that's it.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38That is it, time is up. No more thinking, folks.

0:04:38 > 0:04:43Your thinking time is done. OK, everybody, reveal your answers now!

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Let's have a look what we've got.

0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Oh, two As and a B.- We're either brilliant or stupid.- Yeah.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52ABA...

0:04:52 > 0:04:53my favourite band.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56Right then, let's start with an A over here, the Green team.

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Why have you gone for A?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Why do you think it is going to move to the edges of the plate?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04- You're moving it on the side, it's making vibrations.- Vibrations.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06But we were stuck between D

0:05:06 > 0:05:09because we knew they were either going to move to the edge

0:05:09 > 0:05:10or to the middle.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Vibrations, though. Could be a key word in this.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Yellows, you've gone for the same thing. Same thinking?

0:05:16 > 0:05:19- More or less.- Sort of.- More or less the same thinking.

0:05:19 > 0:05:21That's pretty good. Keeps things nice and simple!

0:05:21 > 0:05:25- Now then, Blues, you've gone for B.- Yeah, B.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29- Well, we think the vibrations... - Definitely vibrations.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30..will create movement.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Movement across the table, meaning

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- bits of sand will... - Creating static movement.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38And it'll be pretty.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40It will be arty AND scientific?

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Yes.- Lovely, lovely!

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Two in one, you see.

0:05:44 > 0:05:47You get value for money on this channel, folks.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Hmm, now then, you seem to have confidence in your cleverness,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51all of you,

0:05:51 > 0:05:54but have you cracked the conundrum or have you cracked under pressure?

0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, let's see what actually happens

0:05:56 > 0:05:59when we add a little bit of cool bow to some cool salt

0:05:59 > 0:06:01in a cool science experiment.

0:06:01 > 0:06:02Are you ready to see it?

0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Yes.- Shall we do it? Here we go then!

0:06:05 > 0:06:10I am now going to pour some salt. There you go.

0:06:10 > 0:06:11Beautiful seasoning, well done.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Now, are ready?- Yes. - Let's do it!

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- A pretty pattern!- What's happening?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Ricky, you're a genius! - Look at that, you see?

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Isn't it amazing?

0:06:26 > 0:06:30So there we go, look at that! Isn't it extraordinary?

0:06:30 > 0:06:32These beautiful patterns happen

0:06:32 > 0:06:35because all sounds are actually just vibrations

0:06:35 > 0:06:38and every object will naturally vibrate at a certain rate,

0:06:38 > 0:06:40or frequency.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42If this frequency is matched by sound,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45it can cause strange things to happen.

0:06:45 > 0:06:46When the violin bow matches

0:06:46 > 0:06:48the natural frequency of the metal plate,

0:06:48 > 0:06:50it causes uneven pockets of vibration,

0:06:50 > 0:06:53making the salt into a pretty pattern.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Art, music, science, we've got it all on this show!

0:06:55 > 0:06:58So, the amazing, incredible scientific answer is B!

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Unlucky, Greens and Yellows, you didn't quite get it right.

0:07:03 > 0:07:04But the Blues, you did.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07You got it spot on and that gets you five points.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Well done.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11So you've got to try and get some more now

0:07:11 > 0:07:13as we go into the next round!

0:07:23 > 0:07:26# Next up it's the creative challenge. #

0:07:26 > 0:07:28That's right, now it's time

0:07:28 > 0:07:31to turn the dials on your finely tuned brainboxes...

0:07:31 > 0:07:33Doo-dee-doo-dly-do!

0:07:33 > 0:07:35..to a different clever setting altogether.

0:07:35 > 0:07:40Yes, we call the next challenge Superhero Sticky Ceiling.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42# Dun-du-du-dun-du-dun-dun! #

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Now, my superhero power is being the brainiest

0:07:45 > 0:07:48and best looking talking monkey you ever saw.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Others want to fly through the air,

0:07:51 > 0:07:52have awesome strength,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55or stick to walls and ceilings, a bit like a spider.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00So, our teams were given two days and a budget of £50

0:08:00 > 0:08:03to design solutions to this challenge.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Ah, oui, c'est magnifique!

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Our teams will be hoping to design

0:08:06 > 0:08:09a way of sticking our superhero wannabe, Guinea Pig,

0:08:09 > 0:08:11to our lab wall.

0:08:11 > 0:08:16But the wall will be tilted at an angle of 50 degrees.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Now, their methods must consider weight distribution...

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Weighing in at 66kg, there, the Guinea Pig.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24..and, of course, the pulling power of gravity

0:08:24 > 0:08:26if they are to avoid GP falling face first into the foam

0:08:26 > 0:08:28and making me laugh!

0:08:28 > 0:08:31GP must be suspended for at least ten seconds

0:08:31 > 0:08:33for the team to win the points.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36And now, he may not have superpowers,

0:08:36 > 0:08:38or be as handsome as me,

0:08:38 > 0:08:41but he sure is super keen when it comes to science.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44Always completely focused on the task ahead,

0:08:44 > 0:08:49nothing can divert his unshakeable, unbreakable concentration.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yes, it is my good friend,

0:08:51 > 0:08:53and my pet actually,

0:08:53 > 0:08:54Guinea Pig!

0:08:58 > 0:08:59Erm...

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Ha-ha. Erm...

0:09:01 > 0:09:05Guinea Pig, you're sort of facing the wrong way!

0:09:05 > 0:09:08Sorry, Dr Brain, I was thinking about my tea.

0:09:08 > 0:09:09Shall I put the kettle on?

0:09:09 > 0:09:11No, GP.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Off you go, GP!

0:09:15 > 0:09:17So here we have the yellow plan.

0:09:17 > 0:09:20- And what's it called? - Baction.- Baction!

0:09:20 > 0:09:22So what's that?

0:09:22 > 0:09:25Is that backpack, action, suction all smooshed into one word,

0:09:25 > 0:09:27- is it?- Yeah.- Oh, pretty good.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31I guessed well there, didn't I? Now, tell me, how does it work?

0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Well, he'll have the backpack on backwards.- Oh, yes, I see that.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36And then we have suction cups.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38So you're creating suction?

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yes, the Whizz Kids have gone for suction power.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46Two large rubber suckers are evenly distributed across GP's back.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49Suction cups work because there's more air on the outside

0:09:49 > 0:09:51than the inside.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53This allows the air from the outside

0:09:53 > 0:09:55to force the rubber against the smooth surface,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57sticking it firm.

0:09:57 > 0:10:01But can they hold GP's weight in the face of gravity?

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Here we go!

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Three, two, one, start tipping now!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Look, what's happened, he's still there.

0:10:14 > 0:10:17He's still there. Oh, look!

0:10:17 > 0:10:19It's working quite well, I think.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now he's at maximum tipping.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24He's still there.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Feeling happy, GP? - This is a great idea.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Are you quite comfy? - Very comfy.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Can I stay here all day? - Of course you can.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Can you bring me some banana...

0:10:33 > 0:10:35There you go! That's ten! You've done it!

0:10:35 > 0:10:37Yay!

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Congratulations, Yellows.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Well, it worked.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Why do you think it worked?

0:10:43 > 0:10:47- The suction holds 120kg.- Oh, does it?

0:10:47 > 0:10:49And I think he's only 66.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51So you've done your mental calculations

0:10:51 > 0:10:54and everything, you've got the mathematics right.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57Wow, that Spiderman bloke ain't got nothing

0:10:57 > 0:11:00on the Whizz Kids' Baction plan.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Their suction science worked splendidly!

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Brilliant. I'm really, really pleased that went well.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Are you pleased?- Yeah.- Nice one.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Well done, the Yellows. Let's see the next plan.

0:11:11 > 0:11:15So, for the Yellows, suction was success.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18But for the Greens, what's it going to be? What have you got here?

0:11:18 > 0:11:20We call it the Net Theory.

0:11:20 > 0:11:24The Net Theory, sounds like a movie starring Morgan Freeman.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- AS MORGAN FREEMAN:- Nobody knows what the Net Theory was.

0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, what actually happens here?

0:11:28 > 0:11:31It's like a giant net and how's it held in place?

0:11:31 > 0:11:35The hooks and the net to attach Guinea Pig to the board.

0:11:35 > 0:11:38Ah, yes, so the net is nice and tight there,

0:11:38 > 0:11:41which might just hold him in place.

0:11:41 > 0:11:44The Supersonic Scientists have gone for a flexible net

0:11:44 > 0:11:46stretched across the whole of GP's body,

0:11:46 > 0:11:50with hooks around the edge and a bunch of little suckers in between.

0:11:50 > 0:11:54Hopefully, suspending him like a fly in a spider's web.

0:11:54 > 0:11:58But will he stay there or will he fall to his doom?!

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Shall we do it?- Yes!

0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Are you ready, Greens?- Yes!

0:12:02 > 0:12:03Are you ready, GP?

0:12:03 > 0:12:05I'm never ready.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Three, two, one, go!

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Let's have a look. Oooooooh!

0:12:12 > 0:12:14He's still there.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16He's still there, holding tight.

0:12:16 > 0:12:17- Ah, now...- Boing.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Oh. OH!

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Oh, dear, down he goes!

0:12:22 > 0:12:25Oh, unlucky.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27He's got a face full of foam.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29What do you think happened there? What went wrong?

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- I think the weight was too much. - The weight was too much, GP.

0:12:32 > 0:12:38Oh, no, it nearly worked but GP's weight, and gravity,

0:12:38 > 0:12:40were just too strong for their flimsy hooks

0:12:40 > 0:12:41and them little tiny suckers.

0:12:41 > 0:12:42In he goes!

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Well, unlucky, Greens. Let's see how the Blues do.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Now then, you Blues, what is the name of your plan?

0:12:51 > 0:12:55- This is Tapetastic! - Tapetastic! I love it.

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Now then, I can sort of see what the theory is but explain it anyway.

0:12:59 > 0:13:03- Well, if you put enough tape down, he'll stay there.- Fingers crossed...

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- He'll be fine.- ..he'll stay there. - Yeah, don't worry about it.

0:13:05 > 0:13:07Bong! The headlines tonight:

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Team Newsround have gone for an adhesive method,

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Sticky Tapetastic evenly distributed all across GP's body.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18But will the adhesive be strong enough to defy Graviton,

0:13:18 > 0:13:20the evil master of the universe?

0:13:20 > 0:13:22I mean gravity, sorry, I'm getting carried away. Silly me.

0:13:22 > 0:13:26- I think we should see it in action, don't you?- Yes.- Definitely.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29Let's do it! Three, two, one, go!

0:13:31 > 0:13:35- There he goes. - You're OK, GP. It's fine!

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Is he at 50 degrees yet?

0:13:37 > 0:13:38Oh, this is looking good.

0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Oh, no, it's going. - No, it's not!

0:13:41 > 0:13:42One of them has gone.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Ten seconds starts now. He's got to stay on...

0:13:45 > 0:13:49LAUGHTER

0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Are you all right?- It was looking promising!- It was, wasn't it?

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Right up until the time when it spectacularly failed.

0:13:57 > 0:13:59Oh, dear, the sticky tape wasn't strong enough

0:13:59 > 0:14:01to hold Guinea Pig's weight.

0:14:01 > 0:14:05Yes, it was evenly spread but GP's weight wasn't.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07No, no, they needed more tape at the top of his body,

0:14:07 > 0:14:10where his heavy old head and his chest weighed him down.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12As soon as one strip looses its sticky grip,

0:14:12 > 0:14:15the weight becomes too much for the rest to take and off they come.

0:14:15 > 0:14:19If only it said, "Do not stick people to the wall," on the packet.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Getting a bit stuck to the bits of foam, are you, Guinea Pig?!

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Oh, dear, we got a bit of a mess here. Poor old GP!

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Well, unlucky, Blues. Let's find out the scores.

0:14:33 > 0:14:37So, at the end of that foamongously, falldowntastic round,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39the Yellows were the only team

0:14:39 > 0:14:41to keep GP at 50 degrees for ten seconds,

0:14:41 > 0:14:42so they get ten points!

0:14:42 > 0:14:45CHEERING

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Now, destiny hangs in the balance.

0:14:47 > 0:14:49Our incredible scientific challenges

0:14:49 > 0:14:51have truly tested our super brainy teams

0:14:51 > 0:14:54and plunged them into an almighty struggle for points,

0:14:54 > 0:14:56pride and a glorious brainy victory.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59But there is yet another twist in this tale.

0:14:59 > 0:15:01Another turn for their story to take.

0:15:01 > 0:15:04The time has come for the next round!

0:15:13 > 0:15:16PYOW, PYOW, PYOW, PYOW!

0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's the split second round.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20Oh, I gave myself a headache doing that!

0:15:20 > 0:15:22This round is all about quick reactions.

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Zee, ka, bing, bang, boom!

0:15:23 > 0:15:28Our super cool camera records in super very slow motion

0:15:28 > 0:15:31to show us who has the fastest reactions of all.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33On this show,

0:15:33 > 0:15:38we like our super brainy scientific experiments to be neat and tidy

0:15:38 > 0:15:40and never messy at all.

0:15:40 > 0:15:41I'm kidding you!

0:15:41 > 0:15:44One member of each team is stood in front of

0:15:44 > 0:15:46our Ultimate Brain paddling puddles there,

0:15:46 > 0:15:47in their welly boots.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50And on the random sound of Dr Brain, "SPLASH!",

0:15:50 > 0:15:53they must jump with two feet together

0:15:53 > 0:15:55into their paddling puddle.

0:15:55 > 0:15:59The winner is the first person to make impact with the puddle,

0:15:59 > 0:16:02as judged by the super-duper Slowmonizer.

0:16:02 > 0:16:04OK, you're in your positions.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07Here we go now, then.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10You're going to give it some welly, OK?

0:16:17 > 0:16:18Ready?

0:16:20 > 0:16:22SPLASH!

0:16:22 > 0:16:25LAUGHTER

0:16:25 > 0:16:28Well, teams, you really did jump to it.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Oh, a proper two-footed challenge from every team member, there.

0:16:31 > 0:16:35But who was first to make a splashtastic splash?

0:16:35 > 0:16:36It's impossible to tell!

0:16:38 > 0:16:41We'll have to use the Slowmonizer.

0:16:41 > 0:16:42Well, well, welly-well,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44they all gave it some welly in their wellies, there,

0:16:44 > 0:16:46but who is going to get the boot?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Oh, it's Dr April, who welly is the fastest, there,

0:16:48 > 0:16:50and welly is the winner.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Welly done!

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Well done! Fantastic!

0:16:55 > 0:17:00Which wins you a massive ten points!

0:17:10 > 0:17:12SCREECH!

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Now, it's time for our teams to re-engage their brain.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18It's the inspiration challenge.

0:17:18 > 0:17:22We need something small and round and hollow in the middle.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, I know, my head!

0:17:24 > 0:17:28Well, nearly. GP, I'll give you a clue.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's small and furry and rhymes with boconut.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33Oh, oh, I know!

0:17:33 > 0:17:35I give up.

0:17:35 > 0:17:37All right, I'll give you another clue.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40- It's a coconut.- Wow!

0:17:40 > 0:17:42What is it?

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Your career, mate, get off!

0:17:44 > 0:17:48Now, Ultimate Brain is all about using your 'ead, son.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51In the studio, we have our Ultimate Brain coconut shy

0:17:51 > 0:17:56in a semicircle around the orange zone. You see?

0:17:56 > 0:17:59Now, one member of each team must stand in the orange zone

0:17:59 > 0:18:01with their hands behind their back.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03And when the timer starts,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06one member of your team will have to knock over as many coconuts

0:18:06 > 0:18:09without leaving the orange zone

0:18:09 > 0:18:11and only using your head.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12The other two team members

0:18:12 > 0:18:15can attach various props to that person's head

0:18:15 > 0:18:17to help them to reach the coconuts.

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Now, the team to knock over the most coconuts will be the winners!

0:18:22 > 0:18:25So, teams, you have three minutes

0:18:25 > 0:18:29to design your coconut-felling contraptions.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Are you ready?- Yes!

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Let's do it.

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Your time starts now!

0:18:35 > 0:18:37We could do it upside down on the hat...

0:18:37 > 0:18:39And the stick out there...

0:18:39 > 0:18:43Teams need to choose items that either push or knock

0:18:43 > 0:18:45the coconuts off their perch...

0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Look, guys. - Yes, yes!- This is the one.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51..and a method of fixing the chosen item to their team member's head.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Not that easy when they haven't got any tape or glue,

0:18:54 > 0:18:56cos I haven't given them any!

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Go co-co-co-crazy for this one.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Wait, Jaytee, wait. - They're stealing our idea!

0:19:01 > 0:19:03- BUZZER SOUNDS - Time's up, teams.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05So what have you got for me?

0:19:05 > 0:19:09Come on, don't be shy. Or should I say, coconut shy.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14OK, Greens, so you've made your design.

0:19:14 > 0:19:15What does it involve?

0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Tights and a stick. - Tights and a stick. I like it!

0:19:19 > 0:19:21What do you call your plan?

0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Tights...- Tightstick.- Tightstick.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27- That sounds pretty good. Shall we try it?- Yes.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30That's a good idea. Here we go, then.

0:19:30 > 0:19:33Right, Dr Dylan, would you care to step into the orange zone.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35Remember, you can't step outside the orange zone.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38You must keep your hands behind your back at all times.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Your time starts... Three, two, one, now!

0:19:41 > 0:19:46Oh. That is it, yeah, poke it. Poking it looks like a good idea.

0:19:46 > 0:19:50Better than trying to swipe it. That's it.

0:19:50 > 0:19:53It's all about having enough force to push the coconut over.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55He's done one.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Well, the Supersonic Scientists' head-mounted flexible straw

0:19:58 > 0:19:59is accurate and just sturdy enough

0:19:59 > 0:20:01to push the coconut from its pedestal.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03Have it!

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Does he have enough force there? Perhaps it's...

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Very good! When you pushed the bottom of the coconut,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10that seemed to push the weight of it over, didn't it?

0:20:10 > 0:20:12That's very good.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13He's being very calm about it.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15He's going about his job very calmly.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17That's good.

0:20:17 > 0:20:18That's it.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm quite surprised how well this is going,

0:20:20 > 0:20:23actually, because it's a very flimsy stick.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- BUZZER SOUNDS - That's the time up!

0:20:25 > 0:20:29Well done! Well done, Greens.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32That was a pretty good plan. What went right there, do you think?

0:20:32 > 0:20:34What do you think you did right?

0:20:34 > 0:20:39It worked on the low ones because the pressure pushed it off.

0:20:39 > 0:20:41Something to do with the centre of gravity, wasn't it?

0:20:41 > 0:20:42You managed to topple it over.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, it worked well enough to get you four coconuts!

0:20:45 > 0:20:47Well done, the Greens!

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Let's see how well the Yellows do.

0:20:50 > 0:20:53Dr Jaytee, what have you got in your hand, mate?

0:20:53 > 0:20:56We've got a tennis ball,

0:20:56 > 0:20:59which has been inserted into one of the legs of the tights.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01So what do you hope is going to happen here?

0:21:01 > 0:21:03We're going to put one end on my head

0:21:03 > 0:21:06and I'm going to try and swing it and knock off the coconuts.

0:21:06 > 0:21:07Oh, I see.

0:21:07 > 0:21:09So why don't you step into the orange zone.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Place your prop on your head.

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Here we go. Don't muck up your hair, will you? Are you ready?- Yeah.

0:21:16 > 0:21:19- In position, happy?- Yeah. - Let's start, then. Here we go.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21Your time starts now!

0:21:21 > 0:21:22Off you go, Dr Jaytee.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25Now, he is trying to get momentum going, there.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26That's it.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Try and see if you can really get it swinging.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Accuracy comes into play here. That was nearly one.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Try and get that one again. Get a good swing going.

0:21:36 > 0:21:38As he wings at around,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41centrifugal effect coming into play here.

0:21:41 > 0:21:43Hey, nice idea, Whizz Kids,

0:21:43 > 0:21:45but it's so difficult to be accurate

0:21:45 > 0:21:47when you're swinging your head around

0:21:47 > 0:21:48and you can't see where it's going.

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Oh, a near miss there. Did you see that one?

0:21:51 > 0:21:53"I ain't budging for no-one, get off!"

0:21:53 > 0:21:55Oh, so close, so close.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57Oh, it's so close!

0:21:57 > 0:21:59Oh, he nearly had one! Yeah, you got one!

0:21:59 > 0:22:02Well done! Let's see if you can get another.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- BUZZER SOUNDS - I'm afraid that's time up!

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Unlucky.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Oh, you can really see the centrifugal force in action

0:22:11 > 0:22:13there, pulling the ball far away from Dr Jaytee's head,

0:22:13 > 0:22:16so much so that it's in the right place to loop around the coconut

0:22:16 > 0:22:19and knock it into next Tuesday.

0:22:19 > 0:22:20Well, on the floor!

0:22:20 > 0:22:22Well, unlucky, Yellows.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25You scored one but good plan, I liked it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:28Let's see how the Blues do!

0:22:28 > 0:22:32Well, time now to go over to our science correspondent,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34Dr Brain, who is at the scene.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38Yes, here I am and I am with the Blue team here

0:22:38 > 0:22:41and they are going to show me their plan.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Blues, what is your plan?

0:22:42 > 0:22:46- Our plan is Shocking Stocking! - Shocking Stocking.

0:22:46 > 0:22:48It is a double pronged attack.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50Double pronged attack, I like that!

0:22:50 > 0:22:53So one prong seems to be a tennis...

0:22:53 > 0:22:55One comes out of them out and the other one goes on the head.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Wrap it all around.- You whip and you push.- Hat goes on top.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01# You whip and you push and the hat goes on top

0:23:01 > 0:23:05# You whip and you push and the hat goes on top! #

0:23:06 > 0:23:07I like this, this is pretty good.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Let's do it, let's do it, let's do it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12- In the orange zone, please. Here we go!- Good luck, Hayley!

0:23:12 > 0:23:13There you go.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Are you ready? - Hang on.- In the orange zone.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Here we go, then, your time starts...

0:23:19 > 0:23:21now!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26A prodding, a prodding, there.

0:23:26 > 0:23:29This is kind of a mixture of the Green and Yellows, isn't it?

0:23:29 > 0:23:31Similar thoughts going on.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33She's pushing, she's pushing.

0:23:33 > 0:23:38- Has she learned the lessons from before?- A bit lower, maybe.

0:23:38 > 0:23:39A bit lower, mate.

0:23:39 > 0:23:41Well, the straw worked for the Supersonic Scientists

0:23:41 > 0:23:44but it's just not sturdy enough in Hayley's mouth,

0:23:44 > 0:23:46bending and buckling to no effect.

0:23:46 > 0:23:50- 20 seconds to go.- How many? - 20 seconds.- Switch it up.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Oh, well done!- She hasn't deployed the tennis ball yet, has she?

0:23:53 > 0:23:56I know, come on! What about the stocking? Go for it, go wild!

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Five seconds to go,

0:23:58 > 0:23:59having a little luck with the spin.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Oh, you've got one, two!

0:24:03 > 0:24:05- BUZZER SOUNDS - That's time!

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- That's time.- Oh, Hayley!

0:24:08 > 0:24:12Well, well, well, she's a little bit dizzy.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Well, well, well, it was the last-minute attack,

0:24:16 > 0:24:19the use of the tennis ball, there, that really did it, wasn't it?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22Yowzer, there's that centrifugal force again,

0:24:22 > 0:24:26creating a spinning whirlwind of coconut destruction. Much better.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29If only they had done that from the beginning.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Well, you've got three coconuts, there, Blues. Well done.

0:24:32 > 0:24:33Well done, all you boffins.

0:24:33 > 0:24:36You all went pretty coconuts for that round.

0:24:36 > 0:24:37You used your heads.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40So, the Supersonic Scientists kept their eyes on the prize

0:24:40 > 0:24:44and used their straw with devastating accuracy.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47The Whizz Kids swung blindly and ineffectively.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49And Team Newsround tried the best of both worlds,

0:24:49 > 0:24:52but ended up being a bit rubbish at both of them,

0:24:52 > 0:24:54until right at the very end.

0:24:55 > 0:24:57In that round, the Yellows got one coconut,

0:24:57 > 0:24:59the Blues got three coconuts

0:24:59 > 0:25:02and the Greens got four, so they got ten points!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Yes, well done.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10But what does it all mean?

0:25:10 > 0:25:13It could mean nothing, as anything can happen in the quickfire round.

0:25:19 > 0:25:24- GP, are you ready?- Ready. - Hands on your desks. Let's do this.

0:25:24 > 0:25:29Two points for each correct answer. Absolutely none for a wrong answer.

0:25:29 > 0:25:30- Are you ready?- Yes!

0:25:30 > 0:25:32Let's do it!

0:25:32 > 0:25:34What does the S stand for in NASA?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37- Blues?- Space.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Is the right answer!

0:25:38 > 0:25:43What is the name of the galaxy in which the Earth is located?

0:25:43 > 0:25:44- Yellows.- Milky Way.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45Correct!

0:25:45 > 0:25:49Gorilla gorilla gorilla is the scientific name for which animal?

0:25:50 > 0:25:51- Blues?- Gorilla.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Yeah!

0:25:53 > 0:25:56In computing, what does "www" mean?

0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Blues?- World Wide Web!

0:25:59 > 0:26:01World Wide Web, correct.

0:26:01 > 0:26:03Which scientist, who supposedly invented the catflap,

0:26:03 > 0:26:07is also famous for his three laws of motion?

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Blues?- Sir Isaac Newton?

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Is right!

0:26:11 > 0:26:15In which organ of the human body do you find the retina and lens?

0:26:15 > 0:26:16- Greens?- Eyes.

0:26:16 > 0:26:17Correct!

0:26:17 > 0:26:22Which blue-tongued creature is the tallest land mammal on earth?

0:26:22 > 0:26:24- Giraffe!- Is right!

0:26:24 > 0:26:26- BUZZER SOUNDS - Time is up!
