0:00:02 > 0:00:04Hey, Dr Brain. I'm brushing up on my computer skills before the team
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- from Technobabble get here. - Oh, that reminds me. Did you hear
0:00:07 > 0:00:09about the computer that gobbled up a cheeseburger whole?
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Gobbled up a whole cheeseburger?! That's crazy!
0:00:12 > 0:00:14What is it with technology these days?
0:00:14 > 0:00:17See, when I was a small guinea pig, we learned proper table manners.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19We learned to chew our food properly, take small bites,
0:00:19 > 0:00:21right, and not to talk with our mouths full.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24But these computers now, they're just going, "Om-nom-nom."
0:00:24 > 0:00:27They're eating everything and don't even get me started on tablets.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- I'm going to teach these guys a lesson.- No, no, no.
0:00:29 > 0:00:30GP, GP, it's a joke.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35Oh, well, status update - Dr Brain is ready for the show. LOL.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Are you ready to bounce?
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Will our teams get Guinea Pig out of this sticky situation?
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And who can crack the code in our real-life computer game?
0:00:54 > 0:00:56All this and more.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00It's time for Ultimate Brain!
0:01:00 > 0:01:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Hi, hi, hi.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09IN AMERICAN ACCENT: So, like, I've, like, made this app
0:01:09 > 0:01:10for, like, my smartphone.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It's, like, really cool. It's called Roboarm.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15What you do is you go... HE MAKES ROBOTIC NOISES
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's really great. Oh, no, that's the wrong...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Oh, no, I've pressed the wrong... Oh, no, I pressed tickle.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Oh, no! I can't stop it! HE LAUGHS
0:01:22 > 0:01:23I can't stop it! Turn it off!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25HE LAUGHS HYSTERICALLY
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Let's meet the teams.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29On our network, from Nottingham, it's...
0:01:33 > 0:01:35On standby from Sussex, it's...
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And in beta blue, from Technobabble, it's...
0:01:44 > 0:01:46And Harvey from Friday Download.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Hi, Blues! You are from Technobabble, is that right?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Yes.- Yes.- Apart from one of you is from Friday Download.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Yes.- Fantastic. Can you teach me some Technobabble?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Well, I don't know about that, Marcus.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- My CPU, central processing unit, has been a bit funny recently.- Really?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- What can I do about it?- You might need to try upgrading your RAM
0:02:06 > 0:02:08cos it might not be a CPU problem. Try upgrading that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- HE SNORES - Yeah, the random access memory.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Maybe I could hook it up and use an HDD
0:02:11 > 0:02:14but I've just replaced an HDD for an SSD, right.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16SSD is a solid-state drive which is a lot faster than HDD
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- so maybe I should use that instead. - And even if you use that SSD...- Oh!
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Oh!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Oh, and, Harvey, you like your games and gadgets, right?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Yeah, I'm a massive fan of technology.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28On the show, we had the most amazing robot and I called it Debbie.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Why Debbie?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30It seemed fitting.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Aw. That's nice.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34What's your team name?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40Yellows, I think I might just ask a sort of random question
0:02:40 > 0:02:42just out of the blue.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Joseph, do you like - oh, I don't know, let's see - llamas?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Not exactly, no.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50One time I went to a llama park with my dad
0:02:50 > 0:02:52and I think it was quite a wet day cos we were walking up a hill...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Yes.- ..and I think I must have slipped or something
0:02:55 > 0:02:59cos I went face first into a pile of llama poo.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01HE GIPS What a lovely story.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03How rather al-larming.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05What's your team name?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Good to meet you. It's time to meet the Greens!
0:03:12 > 0:03:13- How you doing, Greens? ALL:- Good.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Rosie, I hear you're a bit of a whizz in the kitchen.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I really like making cupcakes because they are really easy
0:03:20 > 0:03:23and you can decorate them in any way you want.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Ooh, I'd love some of those. HE LAUGHS
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Any banana-flavoured cupcakes? - I can try.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30What's your team name?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34This is the show with a need for speed,
0:03:34 > 0:03:35a craving for creativity
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and a demand for ingenious ideas and inventions.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40And that's just the warm-up.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43GENTLE PIANO MUSIC PLAYS
0:03:43 > 0:03:46THEY GIGGLE
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Not that kind of warm-up, GP.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Bring me my questions.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Thanks.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54Hands on brains. Here we go.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Take nine, divide it by three,
0:03:58 > 0:04:02add 12, then times that by three.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03The 3 Muskatechs.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- 45.- Is correct.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07What word am I spelling backwards?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- The 3 Muskatechs.- Molecule.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Molecule is also correct.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19What is this sound?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22SQUEAKY WHEEZING SOUND Spongy Scientists.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- A fart. - THEY ALL LAUGH
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Could have been. Anyone else?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Magnificent Mindbogglers. - A balloon.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- It was indeed a deflating balloon. ALL:- Oooh.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36How many letters are there in the word "buoyancy"?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- Spongy Scientists.- Ten.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40No, I'm afraid not. Anyone else? Quickly.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41The 3 Muskatechs.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- Ten.- No!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Magnificent Mindbogglers.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- Seven.- No, it's eight.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Order yourselves in alphabetical order
0:04:49 > 0:04:53of the fourth letter of your first name.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This way to that way and when you've done it, press your brain.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57- I.- I'm L.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00The fourth letter... Spongy Scientists.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02OK, Yellows, let's have a look.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03No, I'm afraid you're wrong.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05You've not quite got it there. The 3 Muskatechs.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Yes! The Blues have done it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Well done, you Blues.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It's early doors, let's have a look at the scores.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The Blues take an early lead with six points.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Let's see what happens in the ignition round.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26OK, teams, what do you think I've got in my hand?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- Tennis ball.- Tennis ball. - Tennis ball?- Yes!
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Oh, you think it's a tennis ball, do you? Oh-ha.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It's actually a kinetic propulsion globe.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Have you ever heard of one of those? - No.- I haven't.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39No, cos I've just made it up. It's a tennis ball.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- You were right.- I knew I was right. - HE LAUGHS
0:05:41 > 0:05:44So, I've set up, over there,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47five balls that have been blasted with heat.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48Ooh-ooh, ah-ah! Ooh-ooh!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50And five balls that have been chilled.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52My question to you is what will happen
0:05:52 > 0:05:56when we drop the balls that are at different temperatures?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12HE LAUGHS
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Something only you or you or you have thought of.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Or you.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20You ready? Your thinking time starts now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21BUZZER
0:06:21 > 0:06:23You know how asteroids are hot?
0:06:23 > 0:06:26They always fall harder...
0:06:26 > 0:06:28How will the balls bounce?
0:06:28 > 0:06:32THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER
0:06:32 > 0:06:35We'll say A. I think A because the heat propels it...
0:06:35 > 0:06:37What do you think will happen? SIREN WAILS
0:06:37 > 0:06:40That's it. Your thinking time is up.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Let's see your answers now. What have we got?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46We've got an A. We've got an A. And we've got an A.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Yellows, why A?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50The ball is hot and asteroids are usually hot
0:06:50 > 0:06:54and when they fall, they fall really, really fast
0:06:54 > 0:06:56but they're not bouncy but tennis balls are bouncy
0:06:56 > 0:06:59so maybe the momentum will give it more bounce.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Ah. So, asteroids have momentum because they're hot
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and you think the tennis ball is going to behave in the same way?
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Oh, so that's your theory, is it? Very interesting.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Greens?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well, we think A because the heat will give it more energy to bounce.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Energy, right.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19Very interesting thinking. OK. And, Blues, what's your thinking?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22The hot air will expand and it will make the ball more bouncy
0:07:22 > 0:07:24so it will bounce higher.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Ah, I see.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26What did you think?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Well, shall we see what happens?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Yeah!- Let's see it in action.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33The red balls are the hot ones, the blue ones are the cold ones.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38Ready? Three, two, one, release the balls!
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And there they are. Look at that!
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- You see.- Yes!- Told you. - Wow, well done.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now, what were you saying earlier, Dr Marcus?
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The hot air will expand and it will make the ball more bouncy
0:07:52 > 0:07:53so it will bounce higher.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Spot-on.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Yes, adjusting the temperature of the balls
0:07:57 > 0:08:00changes how bouncy rubber inside is.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03The hotter the air inside the ball, the more it expands,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05stretching the rubber.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08The greater the temperature, the bouncier the ball becomes.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09This is why squash balls need to be warmed up
0:08:09 > 0:08:11before they are bouncy enough for play.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15So, that means everybody gets 10 points!
0:08:15 > 0:08:19SINGS: Do-do-do, ba-do-do, we're the best, we're so great.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But can we keep it up
0:08:25 > 0:08:27as we go into the next round?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yeah!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36So, Guinea Pig was reading me my bedtime story the other night...
0:08:36 > 0:08:39HE LAUGHS And he said, "Once upon a time,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41"there was a worm
0:08:41 > 0:08:42"and it was crawling along
0:08:42 > 0:08:44"and then it crawled along a bit more
0:08:44 > 0:08:46"and then, when it had crawled along,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48"it crawled along a bit more."
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I said, "Oh, Guinea Pig, this story is like wading through treacle."
0:08:51 > 0:08:53He said, "What's that like, Dr Brain?"
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I said, "Oh, you know what? I don't know."
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Let's find out! Let's do an experiment!
0:08:57 > 0:09:00So, I've asked my teams to come up with some ideas,
0:09:00 > 0:09:02devise some contraptions
0:09:02 > 0:09:05to help us to wade through a river of treacle.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09And I gave them a budget of £50 and two days
0:09:09 > 0:09:11to come up with their solutions.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Teams must think of a way to get GP from one end of the trough
0:09:14 > 0:09:17to the other through the treacle and out the other side.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20They must consider how to help GP work against the resistance he faces
0:09:20 > 0:09:23as he attempts to move through the viscous liquid.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Treacle is almost 10,000 times more viscous than water.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28This uncrystallised syrup is composed of particles
0:09:28 > 0:09:31which move amongst each other a lot less easily
0:09:31 > 0:09:33than those of other liquids like water.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Making treacle a truly tricky treat to travel through. Time to try.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41And who better to try them out than Mr Supersonic himself.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It's Guinea Pig!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Guinea Pig!- He's looking...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Looking... Oh, what's the matter, GP?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53I'm feeling very, very sick. I've got a tummy ache, Dr Brain.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56I've eaten all the treacle there is in the whole world.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Well, erm, I don't think you managed to eat all the treacle in the world.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- Ugh.- I hope you're not sick of the sight of it. Oops.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Here we are then with the first plan and it's the plan of the Greens.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10What's it called?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- ALL:- Shippy Shoes.- Ooh!
0:10:13 > 0:10:15The idea was that he was going to shuffle
0:10:15 > 0:10:19and use his arms to kind of give him the momentum to keep going
0:10:19 > 0:10:21rather than lift his legs up.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22What's Guinea Pig wearing?
0:10:22 > 0:10:28Well, he's wearing wellies with a sort of plastic coating
0:10:28 > 0:10:31to make it cut through the treacle better. Like a ship in the water.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Ah, so that's what the sort of V-shape is.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35And what's on the bottom of his boots?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39There's a bit of sandpaper so he can grip the bottom a bit easier.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41HE CHUCKLES How do you feel, GP?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I feel that I'm about to enter into a sticky situation.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- BLUES:- Whey! - DR BRAIN LAUGHS
0:10:47 > 0:10:51The Magnificent Mindbogglers have adapted Wellington boots
0:10:51 > 0:10:53adding a wooden triangular prism structure
0:10:53 > 0:10:56with plastic V-shaped fronting pointing forwards.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Inspired by the bow of a ship,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00they hope this design will cut through and divert the treacle,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03minimising fluid resistance and drag
0:11:03 > 0:11:05and creating a path through which to travel.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06With such a volume of treacle,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08will GPs attempts forcing the contraption forward
0:11:08 > 0:11:10be concentrated enough to work?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14That sandpaper on the bottom of his boots has been added for stability
0:11:14 > 0:11:16but is a helping hand from friction really what's needed here?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Or, in fact, would extra slippage come in handy?
0:11:19 > 0:11:20We shall see.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23In three, two, one, go, Guinea Pig.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- BUZZER - Go on!- Go, Guinea Pig!
0:11:26 > 0:11:27- Shuffle, shuffle.- Shuffle, go!
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Tell him what to do.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Shuffle.- Shuffle.- Use your arms. - Use your arms.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Move your legs. Move your legs!
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Try stepping up.- Try stepping. - Step.- Try stepping.- Step.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- MARCUS:- Shuffle a bit more.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- He's going to fall. Try stepping like that.- Step.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Try bringing your legs up. - Walk. Walk. Just walk normally.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45He's not going anywhere, is he? He's trying.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47THEY LAUGH Come on, Guinea Pig!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Get a move on, mate.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50Try move your feet out of the treacle.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Trying to lift his boot there but he's stuck.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- We underestimated the stickiness. - He's stuck on the bottom, I think.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58You've got to instruct him.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59- Jump, jump.- He's stuck.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Oh, deary me. HARVEY:- He's definitely stuck.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Guinea Pig!
0:12:02 > 0:12:03- Keep going.- Keep going.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05You can do it.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07He's not getting anywhere, is he? SIREN WAILS
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Deary, deary, deary, deary me.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12What happened there, do you think?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I think we underestimated the stickiness.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19They'd hope he'd get stuck in but poor GP was simply stuck
0:12:19 > 0:12:22with a vacuum effect keeping those feet sucked down.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Well, unfortunately you only get one go in this game
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and now it's somebody else's go.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Let's see the next plan.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Blues, what's Guinea Pig holding?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- This is Vlogster's Motherboard and Memory Stick.- Wow.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39It's made of an ironing board that has been turbo-charged
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- to make it into a surf board. - How have you turbo-charged it?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- By sticking some door handles to the bottom.- Oh, I see.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- They act as rudders just in case he goes off course.- Oh, rudders.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Because, yes, of course, the wind might blow him off,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53you know, being in...treacle.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55And what else has he got? Some sort of pole or something?
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Yeah, that's the memory stick
0:12:56 > 0:12:58and that's so he can push himself along.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01It's got some grip on the bottom from a bike tire.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Just to give him some grip so that he can push himself along the track.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- I see. Dr Marcus.- Yes. - Why Wellington boots?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08They are treacle protection devices.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- Oh, are they?- Mm, yes.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- I reckon we're going to surf through this challenge.- ALL:- Whey!- Ay!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- It will be plain sailing.- Whey!
0:13:16 > 0:13:18DR BRAIN LAUGHS You're on the crest of a wave.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19- ALL:- Whey!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22You guys have got access to the information superhighway
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and you think this is going to work?
0:13:24 > 0:13:26The only thing you've ever surfed is the internet.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- ALL:- Whey!- Ay!
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Yes, The 3 Muskatechs are sending GP surfing proper.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35An ironing board will act as a surfboard
0:13:35 > 0:13:37and whilst it might sink a bit, they're hoping
0:13:37 > 0:13:40it will raise him up enough to keep him in the top half of the treacle.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44His memory stick - or bike tire on a pole - has grip to cling on
0:13:44 > 0:13:49and push back against the end of the trough and glide him to victory.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51And they're hoping door handles will act as rudders
0:13:51 > 0:13:53should he lose his course.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Three, two, one, go, Guinea Pig!
0:13:57 > 0:13:58- BUZZER - Push off the back!
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Push, Guinea Pig.- Keep pushing.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Keep pushing.- Come on, GP. - Push, push, push.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Give it a good old push. - I can't see it any more.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05- Oh, he's moved! He's moved!- Yes!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Yes!- Keep pushing.- And he's off.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Keep going!- Keep pushing. Keep pushing.- Keep going.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Come on, keep going.- You're nearly there. We're nearly there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- You're making waves.- We're over halfway now. Keep pushing.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Yes, you're almost there!- Go on, Guinea Pig. Keep pushing.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Use that memory stick! - Oh, he's staying sturdy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- DR BRAIN LAUGHS - Yes, yes! Keep going. Yes!
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- He can't move the pole now.- Yes!
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- We're there!- He's nearly there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- I think we've made it. - He's doing it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- One more push, GP. - One more little push!
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yes!- Has he got to the end? - He's already touched the end.
0:14:31 > 0:14:32I think he's there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34SIREN WAILS, BLUES CHEER
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- He's there!- Come On!- Well done.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Raising GP up into the top half of the treacle,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41there was less to wade through and so less viscosity than
0:14:41 > 0:14:44the depths below for ease of travel.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- Are you happy?- Yes. - Yes, over the moon.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47How do you feel, GP?
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Felt like I'd been surfing on a 56K modem.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- ALL:- Whey!
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Fantastic.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Ah, the old black stuff,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58it's thick, it's viscous and it's vicious to try and get through.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01And, the Yellows, it's your turn to try and get Guinea Pig through it.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02What's your plan?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Well, we kind of put nails on the sole of his feet
0:15:05 > 0:15:07to kind of cut through the treacle
0:15:07 > 0:15:09so he can lift it up easily.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And we're going to put oil on them to make them a bit more slippery
0:15:12 > 0:15:15cos I'm pretty sure treacle and oil don't mix.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19So, the olive oil is going to lubricate the shoes, you think,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- in other words?- Yes.- And the poles?
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- To push him.- I see. So, almost like sort of ski poles, in a way.- Yeah.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Yeah. They're going to have oil on that as well.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I'm just hoping his skills don't "dessert" him.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- BLUES:- Whey!- Oh!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32DR BRAIN LAUGHS How do you feel about this?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- HE LAUGHS NERVOUSLY - I feel like I'm going to get stuck
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- very early.- What's the name of your plan?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- ALL:- Nailed It.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Nailed It! Well, let's see if he does nail it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Like the Blues' surfboard,
0:15:42 > 0:15:45the Yellows' shoes of nails are designed to raise GP up
0:15:45 > 0:15:47to the surface layer of the treacle
0:15:47 > 0:15:49where smaller opposing forces are at play
0:15:49 > 0:15:51as he moves forward through a smaller amount of the sticky stuff
0:15:51 > 0:15:53aided by balancing poles.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56With his weight spread across the pointed tips of the nails
0:15:56 > 0:15:57on the base of the trough,
0:15:57 > 0:15:59surface area is minimised and pressure maximised
0:15:59 > 0:16:02for cutting through the rest and avoiding the vacuum effect.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04And, thinking about fluid dynamics,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07they've added oil to the nails and balancing sticks.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Oil is lighter than treacle and more slippery
0:16:09 > 0:16:11and they are banking on additional slide
0:16:11 > 0:16:14as the nails work their way through and separate particles.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15Let us see.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Three, two, one, go, Guinea Pig!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20BUZZER
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Come on. Pour that oil on.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- A little drizzle of olive oil. - Other one.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Bish, bash, bosh. Chuck it in. Olive oil. Lovely.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- All over the poles. All over the poles.- The sticks as well.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Go.- Right, get in there.- Come on! - Get stuck in.- Now, go! Come on.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Well, not literally. - Get stuck in, mate.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- That's it.- Don't get stuck in, just go in.- Yeah, don't get stuck in.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Keep moving.- Lift your feet up. - Keep moving!
0:16:42 > 0:16:43- Keep moving!- Feet up!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Come on!- YOLO. Keep moving!- Oh!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- Keep moving!- Oh!- Come on!
0:16:48 > 0:16:53CHEERING
0:16:53 > 0:16:56BELL RINGS, SIREN WAILS
0:16:56 > 0:16:57- Guys, high-five.- Come on!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Oh, my giddy aunt.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Your plan was called Nailed It and you've nailed it!
0:17:03 > 0:17:05How do you feel about that?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Very good.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07He didn't wade through the treacle,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10he practically ran through it, it was so quick.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12# Baby, we were born to run. #
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And in... THEY BREATHE IN
0:17:14 > 0:17:17..and out. THEY BREATHE OUT
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Oh, the smell of treacle.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Well, that's my bath for later sorted out.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22HE LAUGHS
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, Yellows, you get 10 points!
0:17:25 > 0:17:27THEY CHEER Well done.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29And, Blues, you did pretty well.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31You got him to the end but not quite out
0:17:31 > 0:17:33and it wasn't as quick as Yellows, was it?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35But I'm going to give you 5 points!
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Yes!- Cos I'm feeling kind.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40So, unlucky, Greens, no points for you.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43But, you know, there's plenty of time to catch up
0:17:43 > 0:17:46as we go into the next round!
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I had a telephone call the other day
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and apparently Auntie Hattie and Uncle Otto are coming to visit.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- GP GASPS - Auntie Hattie and Uncle Otto!- Yes.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Are they the ones... Who's Auntie Hattie and Uncle Otto?
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Oh, who are they?!
0:18:04 > 0:18:09They're my auntie and uncle and they are expecting a party, GP.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12But we can't use party poppers because they are frightened of them
0:18:12 > 0:18:14so we're going to have to try something else.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18So, we thought maybe some of those confetti streamers that go shoom.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19So, we're going to do a little experiment
0:18:19 > 0:18:21to see how fast we can do it.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24When the contestants hear the guinea pig squeal,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26they're going to throw out their confetti streamers
0:18:26 > 0:18:29as fast as they can and the fastest one wins.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Ready?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37SQUEAL
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Wow.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Woohoo! It's party time!
0:18:40 > 0:18:42And there's confetti everywhere.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44But who threw out their streamer first?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Oh, and it's too close to call.
0:18:46 > 0:18:52We're going to have to see it in...slow...motion.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Oh, it's a close one
0:18:54 > 0:19:00but it's the Blues who got this party started.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Oh, and there it is. It's a victory for the Blues!
0:19:04 > 0:19:07THEY CHEER
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Well done. They look pretty chuffed there.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11So we can party!
0:19:11 > 0:19:14SINGS: Party cos the Blues got 10 points, oh, yeah.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17We're just going to party on now. Yeah!
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Oh, I'm so bored of this game, GP.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30It's too easy.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Oh, I know, Dr Brain.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35We can make this more difficult if I use a blindfold.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Oh, I've got an even better idea. Why don't you use a blindfold?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40That's an even better idea, Dr Brain!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42HE LAUGHS Oh, I tell you what else.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45For our contestants, we could get them to make up a code.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50One word for left, one for right, one for go, and one for stop.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- That would make it more difficult, wouldn't it?- Yeah!
0:19:53 > 0:19:56HE LAUGHS Brilliant. Let's do it!
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Er, GP, where are you...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00GP!
0:20:00 > 0:20:01GP!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Oh.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Oh, he's crashed again.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08So, we need a word for go, a word for stop,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11a word for left and a word for right.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13And your coding time starts now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15BUZZER
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Green. Red.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21Why don't we do "og", "pots"?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24I was thinking, why don't we use go and stop
0:20:24 > 0:20:25to coordinate with like colours.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26So, like, green and red.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28Red.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29- Ten seconds left.- To.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- T-O. T-O.- Quick, quick!
0:20:32 > 0:20:33- T-O.- OK, to.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Yee-haw.- Do you want to write it down?
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Whoa, blue, green.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Orange. Blue. So, can you remember?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- From.- From.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45SIREN WAILS That's your time.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Have you come up with your code? - Yeah.- What are your four words?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- For go we have green.- Mm-hm.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- For stop we have red.- Yes.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54For left we have orange.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55And for right we have blue.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Blue, second letter of that is L for left.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Green, second letter of that is R for right.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And what do horses do?
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Yee-haw and whoa.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04We only came up with two.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06So, go is to. Stop is from.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Left is...- Teeth.- Chicken.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Teeth.- And right is...- Is chicken.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12- ..is chicken.- Very good.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Off you go then. Let's get you onto the course.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17IN MACHINE VOICE: In this game, the players must collect
0:21:17 > 0:21:20as many coins as possible while staying on the path.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Step outside into the danger zone and an alarm will sound.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Three, two, one, go!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- BUZZER - Green.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28- BOTH:- Green.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31- Green.- Red.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Oh, no. Greens have gone into the danger zone.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yee-haw.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Whoa!- Blue.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Yes, blue is left.

0:21:43 > 0:21:45- ALARM SOUNDS - To.- To, to.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- To.- Go teeth a bit.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Your teeth-hand side a bit. Teeth-hand side a bit.
0:21:51 > 0:21:52- BOTH:- Green, green, green!
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Green. Green. Yee-haw.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Whoa.- Whoa.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Green.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Blue again. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Oh, no. Greens have got themselves stuck in the first corner.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- Whoa, whoa, whoa.- Blue.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yee-haw. Oh!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- BOTH:- Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Green.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- To.- To.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- To.- Chicken a tiny bit. Chicken a tiny bit.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- I'm suddenly very hungry. - Chicken, chicken.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Red. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Blue. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- Orange. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Greens are trying all the colours of the rainbow. BOTH:- Whoa!
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Blue.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Whoa. Yee-haw.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Blue. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I think Dr Rosie has forgotten her code.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- BOTH:- Teeth.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Teeth. Teeth again. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Chicken!- That's right to you and me.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Yee-haw.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- BOTH:- Whoa!- Whoa.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49That was close.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- To, to. Oh. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Can you remember what to is, Matt?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- I do. It's go.- Green. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- Red.- Green. - ALARM SOUNDS
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- BOTH:- Yee-haw, yee-haw, yee-haw.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03These tech boys certainly have a handle on this game.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- Yee-haw.- Yee-haw, yee-haw, yee-haw.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08ALARM SOUNDS It might be an early game over
0:23:08 > 0:23:09for the Greens.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11To.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Chicken.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Teeth.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16ALARM SOUNDS I didn't know chickens had teeth.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Yee-haw, yee-haw.- BOTH:- Yee-haw,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20yee-haw, yee-haw, yee-haw.
