0:00:02 > 0:00:03Ho-ho-ho-ho. great stuff, GP!
0:00:03 > 0:00:05- Check me out, Dr Brain. - Yeah, look at that.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08I'm practising cos I want to impress the Match Of The Day Kickabout gang.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Oh, silky skills there. Oh, that reminds me,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15why couldn't the car play football?
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Er, you know what, Dr Brain?
0:00:17 > 0:00:21I don't know. It might be something to do with the Fifa regulations
0:00:21 > 0:00:24against cars playing and they might destroy the pitch with their tyres.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27If there's American cars playing, maybe they'll always be offside.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30You need to look at the rules. Are they allowed to play?
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- It complicates the entire integrity of...- No, JP.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35DR BRAIN SIGHS
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Why do I put myself through this?
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Let's kick off the show.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44GP YELLS
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Can Guinea Pig make a sizeable splash
0:00:46 > 0:00:49with these ingenious inventions?
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Who will be the speediest snorkel squirter?
0:00:51 > 0:00:55And which team will reach the top of the pops?
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Let's get to it.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00This is Ultimate Brain!
0:01:06 > 0:01:08CHEERING
0:01:08 > 0:01:09MATCH OF THE DAY THEME PLAYS
0:01:09 > 0:01:12And here he comes, it is Dr Brain on the ball. To Dr Brain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Look at those skills. Still Dr Brain.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Goal!
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Amazing stuff there from Dr Brain.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Quite simply the greatest footballer we have ever seen.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27Yes, it is a footy special here on Ultimate Brain.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- IN COCKNEY ACCENT:- It is a game of two halves, you know what I mean?
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Ah, shut up! Let's do it again.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Time to meet the teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37First up, going for goals, it is the Green team from East Sussex -
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Fresh from Suffolk, hoping to get ahead-er of the game,
0:01:45 > 0:01:46come on you Yellows -
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And aiming for the back of the net, it's the Blues from
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Match Of The Day Kickabout -
0:01:58 > 0:02:04I have searched far and wide to find the greatest science geniuses
0:02:04 > 0:02:08known to mankind, or even monkeykind.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09And here they are.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Let us first of all meet the Blues.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- IN COCKNEY ACCENT:- You hear that a lot down the old Chelsea, don't you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17# Come on you Blues, come on you Blues!
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Football folk, eh? What team do you support, go on?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's a bit of a mixture over here. I am a Chelsea fan.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23I'm Nottingham Forest.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Manchester United.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27I support half monkey, half Man United.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29DRUMROLL AND DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Blues, what's your team name?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- So, Dr Roxy, you've got a little doggy, is that right?- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- What does your doggy do?- She runs in her sleep. She is like...
0:02:41 > 0:02:43DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:02:43 > 0:02:44I've got a pet that does that.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46LULLABY MUSIC PLAYS AND SOMEONE SNORES
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Yellows, what's your team name?
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Poor old Newton. Newton, the famous scientist, of course.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59That means you're brainy science types. I like that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Now, the Greens.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- How are you doing, Greens? - Good.- We're doing fine.
0:03:04 > 0:03:05What's your team name?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, that's the show over, there's no time for anything else.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13That's the longest name I've ever heard.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18So, now then, Dr Marcus, I hear you like a certain film theme
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- and you were made to sing it once? - Yes.- Was that at school?- Yes.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- And what was the tune?- James Bond. - Can you give us a little blast?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27HE SINGS THE JAMES BOND THEME TUNE
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Yeah! - THEY CHEER
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I think Miss MONKEY-PENNY would be pretty impressed
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and I'm going to give you out of 10... Hmmm...
0:03:38 > 0:03:40007.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45Our secret mission is to be the greatest scientists of all kind
0:03:45 > 0:03:46and this is the game where we have
0:03:46 > 0:03:51a craving for creativity and we need all your brain cells firing
0:03:51 > 0:03:55on all cylinders because now it is time for the warm-up.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57MUSIC: Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Not that kind of warm-up, GP.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Come on, give us my questions.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Thanks, GP. Are you ready for your questions?- Yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Here we go.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06Take 6,
0:04:06 > 0:04:07times it by 4,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09then add 3,
0:04:09 > 0:04:11then take 5 away.
0:04:11 > 0:04:12Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.
0:04:12 > 0:04:1422.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Is the right answer. What word am I spelling backwards?
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26- ALL:- Biology.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Is right again.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- What is this sound? - FIZZY DRINK POURING INTO GLASS
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.- Water.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Water is not quite right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- Newton's Nightmare.- Is it a tap?
0:04:36 > 0:04:37No, it's not quite right.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Sporty Scientists.- Pouring a drink.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It is indeed a fizzy drink.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Now then, how many letters are there in the word...
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Newton's Nightmare.
0:04:51 > 0:04:5213.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Is the right answer.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58They're a brainy bunch today, aren't they? Now, final question.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Put yourselves in order, the shortest at the front
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and the longest at the back,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05of your arm span.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07When you are ready, buzz your buzzers.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11OK, let's have a look at the Greens.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13You're right! Well done, you Greens.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Fantastic. Didn't they do well?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Let's find out the scores on the doors.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29MATCH OF THE DAY THEME TUNE
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Go, John. Go, John.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Oh, look at that!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Yeah, John.- Keep going.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39THEY CHEER
0:05:39 > 0:05:41You thought you were just going to get science.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43No, you get everything on this show, folks,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46cos this is Ultimate Brain.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49This round we are about to do is all about balls.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52What I have here is a bowl and inside of it,
0:05:52 > 0:05:56lots and lots of balls of different sizes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59And I am going to give you 10 seconds to look at the bowl
0:05:59 > 0:06:02and I am going to give you 20 seconds to think about it
0:06:02 > 0:06:06and confer and decide and tell me in funfair fashion,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08how many balls there are in the bowl.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11You're going to decide whether there are -
0:06:24 > 0:06:26..of your own thinking.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Your 10 seconds of looking time starts
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- now! - HOOTER BLASTS
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Have a look. Have a look.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36THEY WHISPER AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:06:40 > 0:06:41HOOTER BLASTS
0:06:41 > 0:06:44That's it, time's up, show's over, show's over, folks, step away.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Have a think now.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49THE TEAMS CONFER
0:06:49 > 0:06:51They've got four options.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Did they count the correct number of balls?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07HOOTER BLASTS
0:07:07 > 0:07:09OK, your thinking time is up, folks.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Time to reveal your answers
0:07:12 > 0:07:13now!
0:07:14 > 0:07:17C, C, C, C. I told you, see?
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Three Cs.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20C which means you all opted for -
0:07:22 > 0:07:24OK, Yellows, why C?
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Harry got 24.- I got 23. - And I got 24 as well.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Greens, what about you?
0:07:29 > 0:07:34Laiba got 22, I got 23 and Mohsin got 24.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- Blues? - John didn't have a clue, bless him.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38That doesn't surprise me.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- He just saw a ball and wanted to kick it, basically.- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- I think 27. Tyler, what did you think?- Yeah, I counted 27.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48I can tell you that the official answer is
0:07:48 > 0:07:4934.
0:07:49 > 0:07:5234? Well, let's count them, shall we?
0:07:52 > 0:07:57There are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight marbles.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight ping-pong balls.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04And one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08eight plastic ball-pool balls, which makes 24.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Now, Dr Laiba, could you put your hand in there,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15please, and see if there's anything else you can find?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17They are see-through.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Show it to your friends at home.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25There we see, look at that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Don't squeeze it too hard.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Don't squeeze it too hard. Look at that. Try for another.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31See if you can find one.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33All you can see of them is their little shadows.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34What do you think those are made of?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They are made of stuff called hydrogel.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yes, weird stuff, and it reflects light in exactly the same way
0:08:40 > 0:08:43as water, which is what makes it invisible.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Would you care to show us, Dr Tyler?
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Just lift one out for us and just gently lower it
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- into the water and you see it... - HE GASPS
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- See how it disappears. - Just like that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- Wow!- Just like that.- I would say it was magic but in fact it's science.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Hydrogels are manufactured substances that are super absorbent.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Having been left to soak for 48 hours, these balls are 99.9% water.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Similar polymers are used in nappies because they soak up
0:09:09 > 0:09:11and trap so much water,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14keeping babies' bottoms dry and preventing nappy rash.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15- HE CRIES LIKE A BABY - Mummy!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18They put that stuff in nappies! That's bonkers, innit?
0:09:18 > 0:09:20THEY LAUGH
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Well, folks, you all opted for C,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25which is wrong.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29But, because you all got how many balls were visible,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I'm going to give you all five points each. Well done!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34THEY CHEER
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Points all round, everybody's happy.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- IN COCKNEY ACCENT:- So, I was on holiday, right, the other week,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48down in Lanzarote with a few of me science mates, right?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50And I had Professor Stephen Hawking on the left of me,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52an old mate of mine. And I said, "Isn't it beautiful?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54"Sun, sea, sand." And he said -
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- IN STEPHEN HAWKING'S VOICE: - "Yes, look at those waves.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58"Waves are extraordinary.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02"Radio waves, microwaves, subatomic waves."
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I said, "Oh, Steve, shut up about waves, mate.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"Do you want me to do an experiment for you?" He said, "Yes, please."
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So we've decided to do an experiment all about
0:10:11 > 0:10:14who can create the biggest wave.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19My teams have been given £50 and two days to come up
0:10:19 > 0:10:21with their cracking contraptions.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Teams must think of a way for GP to create waves in the pool.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Their designs must consider the best way for GP to get the water
0:10:28 > 0:10:32moving, including how he uses the power of his own body movement,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33weight and strength.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35The team that helps GB get the highest waves will get
0:10:35 > 0:10:37a surf-tastic 10 honour points.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42And now, shall we meet the person who's going to try 'em out?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It's my good old friend,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45the super-surfing
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- Guinea Pig! - CHEERING
0:10:51 > 0:10:52What are you doing, Guinea Pig?
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Dr Brain, you told me to practise making waves
0:10:54 > 0:10:56and I've been practising all night
0:10:56 > 0:10:58and I think I've finally got it down.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02Not that kind of wave, Guinea Pig!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Ooh! Let's get on with the game.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Here I am, with my good friends, the Bio... The Chocolate...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- The Bio-chocolate... - HE STUTTERS AND SIGHS
0:11:10 > 0:11:12The Greens. Here they are.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15So, what's the name of your plan?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Wave Surfer. DR BRAIN MAKES GUITAR SOUNDS
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- I like it.- What happens is,
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Guinea Pig lies on the body board and holds on to both the ropes...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Got some ropes there, yes, I see. - ..and pulls, which will make a wave.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32'Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes have gone for
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'a super-streamlined body board to help GP move through the water,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38'providing a large surface area with which to create waves.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39'As he pushes from the side of the pool
0:11:39 > 0:11:41'and pulls back on the ropes provided
0:11:41 > 0:11:44'they hope to increase his speed and the force with which
0:11:44 > 0:11:46'he can push back and forth through the water.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48'Let's find out if the Wave Surfer gives GP the power
0:11:48 > 0:11:51'the Greens need to WAVE bye-bye to their competitors.'
0:11:51 > 0:11:55The force of his body as he pulls, that's going to create a wave,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- is it?- Yeah. He pulls as hard as he can, remember that.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- What do you call this plan? - Wave Surfer.- Wave Surfer.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I think you want to call it the Titanic because I'm going to sink
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- without a trace.- Ho-ho-ho-ho!
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Ever done any surfing before, GP?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Only on the internet. - DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Let's do it. Three, two, one, go, GP.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13HOOTER BLASTS
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Go GP, go on the board.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- Keep going.- GP, lie on it. - Go on, GP, lie on it.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Come on.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- He is off!- Get back a bit.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Go on, GP.- Now, GP, go back a bit.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Got up to one so far.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- Yeah, that's good. Now, pull!- Need a bit higher than that, I think.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Yeah, that is good, GP. Now push, push. Now pull!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Oh, he's lost the board again. - Come on, GP.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Not doing very well, is he? - Back on, GP.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- That's it.- Now, a bit more back.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46A bit more back, a bit more back, and he's got to try and pull.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Oh, he is pushing himself. He has come off again!- Go on, GP.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- Get on again.- GP, lie on it. Lie on it!- Come on, GP.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Time's running out, everybody.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Go on, GP.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59HOOTER BLASTS
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Well, that's time.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I've learned one thing from that experiment and that is that
0:13:05 > 0:13:09GP won't be winning any surfing competitions any time soon.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11MUSIC: Surfing USA by The Beach Boys
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Unlucky, GP. So, what do you think went wrong there, Greens?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21GP's really not got the right body for body boarding.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Because Guinea Pigs weren't designed to swim.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Here I am with the Yellow team, also known as Newton's Nightmare.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31So, what's the name of your plan?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- ALL:- Mission Bounce. - Mission Bounce?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- So, what's going to happen here, then?- Well, it's a rubber ring...
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- A rubber ring.- ..with a piece of wood over the top.- I see.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41And so Guinea Pig's going to sit in it and
0:13:41 > 0:13:44he's kind of going to put his arms on the side so he is kind of
0:13:44 > 0:13:47sat in it and he's going to bounce up and down in the water.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But you have got to keep in rhythm, so we're going to clap for you.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- We're going to clap the rhythm.- So, when you hear the clap, you bounce.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You've got to keep it in rhythm so then the waves will get
0:13:56 > 0:13:57bigger and bigger.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59'Newton's Nightmares' Mission Bounce involves
0:13:59 > 0:14:02'a huge rubber ring for GP to sit in and they've added
0:14:02 > 0:14:04'a wooden board on top to give it weight
0:14:04 > 0:14:06'so it can produce maximum force!
0:14:06 > 0:14:07'When GP bounces up and down,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11'the ring's design should displace water and create waves.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14'If GP can bounce to the team's rhythm, he might just be able
0:14:14 > 0:14:16'to catch and combine smaller waves to create bigger ones,
0:14:16 > 0:14:19'like at sea, when the wind creates lots of smaller waves
0:14:19 > 0:14:22'and they combine in a storm. Oh, anyone else feeling seasick?'
0:14:22 > 0:14:23HE GROANS
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I DOUGHNUT know if it is going to work, Dr Brain.- I Doughnut know!
0:14:28 > 0:14:29HE LAUGHS
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Let's see it in action, shall we? - ALL:- Yeah!
0:14:32 > 0:14:35We're going to go in three, two, one, go, Guinea Pig!
0:14:35 > 0:14:36HOOTER BLASTS
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Guinea Pig, over your head. - Yeah, yeah. In.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- And then kind of sit down and push up and down.- Sit down.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Not on the thing - in it.- In it.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Keep going.- Bounce.- Not on it - in it, innit!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- That's it.- Keep bouncing.
0:14:52 > 0:14:59THEY SHOUT "BOUNCE" OVER AND OVER
0:14:59 > 0:15:02It's moving. It's definitely moving.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It's coming up more. Oh-ho-ho! He's flooding the place!
0:15:05 > 0:15:07THEY CONTINUE TO SHOUT "BOUNCE"
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It's working!
0:15:11 > 0:15:14'Matching the frequency of those waves is amplifying them.'
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- It's working really well! - HOOTER BLASTS
0:15:19 > 0:15:20I think that's time up.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Well done, Guinea Pig.- Go, Guinea Pig!- Well done, Guinea Pig.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Yeah, that went really well. - Well done.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Two things happened there - one, you did quite well in the
0:15:27 > 0:15:32experiment. Two - you completely flooded the whole studio.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33I'm exhausted, Dr Brain.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I'm not surprised, you know.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38As our good friend Roy Hodgson would say -
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- IN ROY HODGSON'S VOICE:- "I think both teams have done very well
0:15:41 > 0:15:45"so far but they could do a little bit better in the second half."
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Let's see if he is right. It's the next plan...
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- You weren't that tall before. How did that happen?- I ate my greens.
0:15:51 > 0:15:56Ah, good boy. So, what's the name of your plan, Blues?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58It's called The Kickabout Guardian.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02It's based on a famous statue in Newcastle, OK?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06And it's practically a bird with one arm.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Because the pool actually isn't that big.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12We underestimated how big GP's arms were.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh, I see.- So we're going to change it slightly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17He's now going to put his arms in front of him.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Mimicking The Angel of the North. Hardly an angel, is he?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- I look like a rubbish windmill. - No, you look beautiful.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27And all you need to do is push the water up and down like flat.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28As hard as you can.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31'The Blues' Kickabout Guardian provides GP with wooden wings,
0:16:31 > 0:16:35'designed to flap with force, displacing water and creating waves.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38'Adapting their plan and bringing the wings forward, will their design
0:16:38 > 0:16:42'be strong enough to propel the water across the pool, or is GP
0:16:42 > 0:16:45'more likely to just get himself in a flap before he's even started?
0:16:45 > 0:16:48'As those heavy wings go into battle with water resistance,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51'will they prove strong enough and indeed, will our GP?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53'Hopefully, he's been eating his greens.'
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well, let's see if it works.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Three, two, one, go, GP. - HOOTER BLASTS
0:16:58 > 0:17:01THEY SHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Flap your hands...Wings!
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Flap.- Flap up, down.- Flap up. Down.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Up.- Down. Yes!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Up.- There you go, there you go.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14'Ooh, got one there.'
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- At the same time - down. - Ah, here we go.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Up...- Down!- There we go. - Keep going! Up... Down!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24He's doing a Mexican wave.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Down! Oh, no!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Oh, no! Breakage. They've got breakage.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30We have breakage.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Oh, double breakage.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34There, you see? Oh!
0:17:34 > 0:17:39Of course, the force of the water is breaking the equipment.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40HOOTER BLASTS
0:17:40 > 0:17:43That's time up. Time up!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- Well...- We've had a shocker.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Now, there's your problem - it broke.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51What do you think went wrong with that, then? Where did it break?,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, we don't really know.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- Thank you.- Would it have been the force of the water
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- smashing into your equipment?- Maybe.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- So, did you all enjoy that? - ALL:- Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05It was three very different plans there.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Greens, you had your surfboard. Didn't quite come off, did it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13The Blues with your weird sort of flapping duck wing things.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14DUCK QUACKS
0:18:14 > 0:18:17And our bouncy, bouncy Yellows, and I can reveal that the winner
0:18:17 > 0:18:20of 10 points for this round
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- is the Yellows! - CHEERING
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Well done. Look at that.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27High fives!
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Fantastic. But will they do so well in the next round?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41This round is all about lightning reactions.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44Hey! Oh! I frightened the life out of myself.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Now then, we enjoyed getting Guinea Pig wet so much,
0:18:47 > 0:18:50being in the pool, we thought we'd take it a little deeper.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53We're going to do a snorkel experiment.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Yes, what we're going to do is we're going to fill those snorkels
0:18:56 > 0:18:59with special coloured liquid, placed in there by my good friend
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Mr GP himself, and on the sound of the guinea pig's squeal,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06they're going to go and the first one to blow their water out
0:19:06 > 0:19:09of the top of their snorkel is going to be the winner.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12So, Guinea Pig, fill them up, if you please.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Now, folks, whatever you do, don't try this at home.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18This studio is packed with scientists,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20so just use snorkels for what they're meant for -
0:19:20 > 0:19:21swimming!
0:19:25 > 0:19:27DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Here we go.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32A GUINEA PIG SQUEALS
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Wow. That was extraordinary.
0:19:36 > 0:19:37And wet!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Stupendous snorkelling spirit from all our contestants,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42but whose snorkel spouted the most speedily?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It was impossible to tell with the naked eye
0:19:45 > 0:19:47so we're going to have to go to the slow-mo.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52All teams blowing with vigour. Thar she blows, Cap'n!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55But there can only be one winner.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57It's a win for
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- the Greens. - CHEERING
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Well done, you Greens. Look at that, celebrations and jubilations.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Well, will they still be celebrating in a few minutes
0:20:07 > 0:20:09when we try the next round?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Wow, Dr Brain, that's some lovely decor.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Did you design it yourself? - I did, actually.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Now, ha-ha, GP, you and I,
0:20:21 > 0:20:25we've popped a fair few balloons on Ultimate Brain, haven't we?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Ah, yes, memories that'll make you jump!
0:20:28 > 0:20:29DR BRAIN JUMPS AND LAUGHS
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Well, what our teams have got to do is using a selection of items
0:20:32 > 0:20:36here, they've got to pop as many of the balloons as they can.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40We have two halves of an orange, an ordinary plastic fork,
0:20:40 > 0:20:45a boxing glove, a magnet and a slotted spoon.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46Sounds simple, right?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Well, inside each balloon is a little penny,
0:20:50 > 0:20:55just like in this balloon here, you see. You see that?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57A little penny inside there. you see?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Now, they've got to pop the balloon, catch the penny,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- put it into the piggy bank. - TILL RINGS
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Now, the team that gets the most pennies into the piggy bank
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- will win.- I would use the boxing glove.- Go on, have a go, then.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Let's see. Let's see if this works.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12THEME FROM "ROCKY"
0:21:13 > 0:21:15HE SIGHS
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Let's hope our teams are more inspired.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- On your marks, get set, go. - HOOTER BLASTS
0:21:19 > 0:21:20And they're off.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Oh, look at this.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Using fruit.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29The Blues have gone straight for the fork.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30Oh, oh, oh!
0:21:31 > 0:21:34THEY WHISPER AMONGST THEMSELVES
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Thinking, plotting.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39THEY YELL AND DR BRAIN CHUCKLES
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- THEY WHISPER AMONG THEMSELVES - Come on, you've got to get moving.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Too much thinking, not enough doing.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47The Greens have ditched the oranges.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Oh-ho, look at that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52Bosh!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Brute force. Violence.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Get smashing.- Go, go, go, go, go!
0:21:56 > 0:21:58You won't get anything at this rate.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Can they find the pennies? That is the question.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07He's smashing so many of those balloons. Can they keep up?
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Smash them like this. With both of them.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14The strength on him.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Look at him go!
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Yellows have yet to even pop one balloon,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22let alone pick up a penny.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Go, go, go!
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Jab it with the fork. - Come on, Yellows!
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- And then pop it with the... - HOOTER BLASTS
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Time up.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, when you have finished an exciting and marvellous
0:22:34 > 0:22:38experiment like that, the next thing there is to do is to analyse it,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40so Yellows, what was your method?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- I've seen before on one of the other Ultimate Brain shows...- Yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49..that they worked out that the acid of the oranges was used
0:22:49 > 0:22:50to pop the material.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Yes, but it's not actually acid but oily chemicals in the peel.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55But I like your thinking.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58We did it but it didn't work so we came back and we grabbed
0:22:58 > 0:23:03the fork and I just stabbed it and then the time ran out.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Well, part of the problem was,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07you spent a lot of time plotting and discussing.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09You didn't hold the oranges on for long enough
0:23:09 > 0:23:11to really have an effect on the balloon.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13So, unlucky.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I can reveal that you didn't get any pennies in to the piggy, did you?
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- ALL:- No. - Unlucky, Yellows, what a shame.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Now then, Greens, remind us - what was your method?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24First, Marcus whacking them with the oranges,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27then with that fork kitchen thing.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32You sort of used a mixture of violence, aggression and brutality.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Do you think it worked?- Yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36You got a few, didn't you? Blues?
0:23:36 > 0:23:40You are the strongest so he obviously popped them with the fork.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44He was the muscle. You used him as the muscle and you were the brains.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- What were you doing? - Well, we weren't!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49We thought we were the brains until we put the gloves on and realised
0:23:49 > 0:23:53how hard it was and then we realised there was a magnet, after.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56You were popping much quicker than they could pick them up
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- and you definitely got a few, didn't you?- Yes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00But did you get as many of them?
0:24:00 > 0:24:01We are quite confident, actually.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I can reveal that the Greens
0:24:04 > 0:24:06got five.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07And the Blues,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- they got eight. - CHEERING
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Well done. So, now, there is actually an elegant little solution
0:24:13 > 0:24:14to this.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Now, Dr John, you mentioned the magnets.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Shall we have a little look?
0:24:18 > 0:24:23- You place one of these under here like this.- Oh, my gosh.- No.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Why do think that is happening?
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Magnet says, "Come here, penny, I want you to come to me."
0:24:30 > 0:24:33Attracts the penny towards it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Whoa! There you go. Pretty amazing, right?
0:24:37 > 0:24:42So there we have it. All to play for as we go into the last round.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43HE SQUEALS
0:24:48 > 0:24:52As we approach the final whistle in this extraordinary match -

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Emperor, King and Rockhopper are all types of what?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06- Sporty Scientists.- Penguins.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Is the right answer. - CHEERING
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Where are the smallest bones in the human body found?
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- Newton's Nightmare!- The eyes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15- Ooh, no, it's the ear.- I knew that!
0:25:15 > 0:25:18True or false, protons have a negative charge.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Newton's Nightmare.- False.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Is the right answer. It's a positive charge.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24What does a seismologist study?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Newton's Nightmare.
0:25:26 > 0:25:27Is it the size of animals?
0:25:27 > 0:25:29No, it's earthquakes.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31In what country would you find Mount Fuji?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.- Erm, Fiji.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36No, it's Japan.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The system in your body that allows you to breathe, beginning with R...

0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Respiratory system, well done.- Yes!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Which floaty element has a chemical symbol of He?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Newton's Nightmare. - Hydrogen Neuroxide?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Oh, unlucky, it's helium.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Which microorganism beginning with Y is used in bread-making?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- Bioluminescent Chocolate Jellyfishes.- Yeast.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Yeast is correct.
