0:00:00 > 0:00:06THIS PROGRAMME CONTAINS SOME STRONG LANGUAGE

0:00:26 > 0:00:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Oh!

0:00:30 > 0:00:37Good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening, good evening.

0:00:37 > 0:00:44And welcome to an idiot-proof episode of QI for a quite interesting look at intelligence.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Joining us tonight are some of the biggest brains of Britain.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51The discerning David Mitchell.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56The judicious Jo Brand.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03The perspicacious Phill Jupitus!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11And the...Alan Davies.

0:01:16 > 0:01:21And they're absolutely buzzing with intelligence. David goes...

0:01:22 > 0:01:25- BEGINNING OF MASTERMIND THEME - Jo goes...

0:01:26 > 0:01:28NEXT BIT OF MASTERMIND THEME

0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Phill goes... - LAST BIT OF MASTERMIND THEME

0:01:34 > 0:01:37- And Alan goes... - "Er, pass."

0:01:38 > 0:01:40LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:01:40 > 0:01:42There we are.

0:01:43 > 0:01:48Don't forget your "Nobody knows" jokers. Would you dream of forgetting them?

0:01:48 > 0:01:54Yes, in this series there is one question to which nobody knows the answer.

0:01:54 > 0:02:01Question one is pretty challenging and very much what is discussed by academics in the finest universities

0:02:01 > 0:02:07so you may want to make notes. How do you get a goose interested in volleyball?

0:02:08 > 0:02:09Jo?

0:02:09 > 0:02:15I'd like to reply with a question. How do you get ANYONE interested in volleyball?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18I believe the removal of clothes is part of the...

0:02:18 > 0:02:21That's beach volleyball.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26Well, when I say "in volleyball", I should use an indefinite article.

0:02:26 > 0:02:31- There's being interested in volleyball and in A volleyball. - Ah! Make one out of goose food.

0:02:31 > 0:02:39Oddly enough, you don't need to do that. Their natural egg is light blue and flecked with grey.

0:02:39 > 0:02:45Scientists have found that you can make the eggs bigger and bigger and really bright blue

0:02:45 > 0:02:50with great big black polka dots and they'll sit on those instead.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54- There's no upper limit... - It's about the shape and the colour.

0:02:54 > 0:03:01It's like us. We should eat enough food to keep ourselves alive, but we have no upper limit.

0:03:01 > 0:03:09- We'll eat another bar of chocolate and end up looking like me.- Is that why you wear the Cadbury's livery?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11LAUGHTER

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Hoping for a freebie as always.

0:03:14 > 0:03:20It is, evolutionarily speaking, the bigger the egg, the more likely it is to want to sit on it

0:03:20 > 0:03:27- because it's more likely to be a healthy, larger chick.- "This will be the most amazing goose ever!"

0:03:27 > 0:03:33And so they'll sit on a volleyball. That's a kind of flaw in nature, if you like.

0:03:33 > 0:03:39We have to include ourselves in this. There are certain things we don't need in excess,

0:03:39 > 0:03:45like sugar and fat and sex, but we spend lots of time eating chocolate and doing things on the internet.

0:03:45 > 0:03:50Sounds like my perfect holiday. Sugar, fat and sex. Yes, please!

0:03:51 > 0:03:57- But we've got the awareness that we do that.- We do.- The goose on the volleyball isn't thinking,

0:03:57 > 0:04:02"This is a bit much. The world doesn't need giant geese."

0:04:02 > 0:04:05You're right. We have the extra curse of consciousness

0:04:05 > 0:04:09that we are fools. They're fools without knowing it. It's called

0:04:09 > 0:04:14supernormal stimuli and it seems to exist in a lot of species, actually.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Anyway, geese like their eggs the bigger the better.

0:04:17 > 0:04:23They don't know when to stop, which seems stupid, but name an intelligent bird.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25Yes?

0:04:26 > 0:04:27Me.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:04:35 > 0:04:38I was going to say Shirley Williams.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- She is much more intelligent than I am.- Nonsense.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44I've got to big myself up. I've got a very low IQ. No-one else will.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46I don't believe that for a second.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- It's 83. - Oh, my God! You're barely human.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55I don't think there are any intelligent birds. Their brains are so incredibly tiny.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- Well...- Like an owl. I know this as a thing.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06- 65% of the skull is the eyes. The brain is virtually nothing. - You're right.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It's very hard to judge intelligence in a bird.

0:05:09 > 0:05:13Can they count, is one. There are birds that can count.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Cormorants can count to eight.

0:05:16 > 0:05:22You may say, "No, hang on..." but they are used by Chinese fishermen.

0:05:22 > 0:05:28- They catch a fish and drop it on the boat...- One!- And the eighth one they keep for themselves.- Eight!

0:05:29 > 0:05:32- "That's mine."- Finished.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35"Nine!" Erp!

0:05:35 > 0:05:42But the generally smartest group is not smart because they count, but because they solve problems.

0:05:42 > 0:05:48- These are the corvids.- Crows! - The crows, the ravens, the jackdaws,

0:05:48 > 0:05:52the magpies. What's interesting is they can look at a problem.

0:05:52 > 0:05:57I've seen experiments where they've had a gate that's pulled up on a string

0:05:57 > 0:06:02which goes round a sort of pulley system and they will look at it

0:06:02 > 0:06:07and then go straight to pull the right piece of string to raise the door.

0:06:07 > 0:06:12We've got film here, for example, of a crow. There. It hasn't seen this hook at all.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Ever. It's its first time.

0:06:15 > 0:06:20It's working it out. It's seen that it has a bent end.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- And now it's pulling that out. - How bizarre.- Quite extraordinary.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27And now it's got its food.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31- They do seem like the most evil birds.- They're often considered creatures of ill omen.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35In Shakespeare, they're often used as such.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39But you're just seeing them with Carmina Burana playing.

0:06:39 > 0:06:45- Imagine a crow...- I should get something else for my iPod? - Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert.

0:06:45 > 0:06:50That's a nice crow. Put a sombrero on it, take the edge off it.

0:06:50 > 0:06:56- But if you had Carmina Burana and a robin, you wouldn't think it was evil.- I would!- Would you?

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Dirty bastard robin!

0:06:59 > 0:07:05Anyway, there are intelligent birds, and the crow family display intelligence aplenty.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Who first cracked the Enigma code?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Was it the Poles?

0:07:13 > 0:07:16Top man! Absolutely right.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18APPLAUSE

0:07:18 > 0:07:19You're a good soul.

0:07:21 > 0:07:26There's a general feeling that we did all the work, but in fact,

0:07:26 > 0:07:28it was a Pole in 1932, as early as that,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31who first cracked how an Enigma machine worked.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35But in the late 1930s, the Germans changed the way they worked,

0:07:35 > 0:07:39I think it was something like 364 billion possible settings

0:07:39 > 0:07:44each day to the daily code. That's not something you could guess.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46But the first one to crack it in the beginning

0:07:46 > 0:07:50was a young Polish mathematician called Marian Rejewski.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52And if you ever go to Bletchley Park,

0:07:52 > 0:07:55and I do urge you to do so, there is a splendid statue to him...

0:07:55 > 0:07:59- Have they got a good shop?- They have a very nice shop. They also

0:07:59 > 0:08:01have a museum of computing, which I know would excite you.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Oh, indeed(!) I'm already moist.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11It is well established.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13The work on Enigma did do a great deal to hasten

0:08:13 > 0:08:17the end of the war. Eisenhower estimated that a shortened

0:08:17 > 0:08:20the war by two years, which is hundreds of thousands of lives.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25So it was an extraordinary important thing that these boffins got together.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28But how were they first brought together at Bletchley Park?

0:08:28 > 0:08:32What was the first move the Government made to assemble the boffins?

0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Singles club.- It was almost that.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39It was a Telegraph crossword competition.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Specially fiendish crossword, and the winners were sent letters

0:08:42 > 0:08:45saying, "You might be our kind of chap."

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Anyway, they then soon became aware that having people

0:08:48 > 0:08:51who knew that "carthorse" was an anagram of "orchestra"

0:08:51 > 0:08:53was not going to win them the war.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57They needed really great mathematical minds.

0:08:57 > 0:08:58It was when the world changed.

0:08:58 > 0:09:02"It will be fascinating conundrums that the Nazis will set us!

0:09:04 > 0:09:07"We will have to find clues and follow them!"

0:09:07 > 0:09:09No, you just need a supercomputer.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Fortunately, there was a man ready for it.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13It just happened to be that history had thrown up

0:09:13 > 0:09:16a brilliant mathematician called Alan Turing

0:09:16 > 0:09:18who was at Cambridge at the time.

0:09:18 > 0:09:20He's considered the father of computing,

0:09:20 > 0:09:23one of the truly great men of his time.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27You may remember Gordon Brown making an impassioned but far too late apology

0:09:27 > 0:09:30on behalf of the British Government for his terrible death.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32He was persecuted for his homosexuality

0:09:32 > 0:09:35and chemically castrated and then committed suicide

0:09:35 > 0:09:37by eating a poisoned apple.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40There are many to this day who believe that Apple computers

0:09:40 > 0:09:43named their apple with the bite out of it in honour of Alan Turing,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45the father of computing.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48I was in a position to ask one of the founders, Steve Jobs,

0:09:48 > 0:09:52and he said, "It isn't true, but God, we wish it were."

0:09:52 > 0:09:56It is just a coincidence, but they're very proud that people think it might be,

0:09:56 > 0:09:58because he was an extraordinary man.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02But the real fiendish thing was not Enigma. It was called Lorenz.

0:10:02 > 0:10:07Lorenz was used by German High Command and Hitler himself, basically.

0:10:07 > 0:10:08Lorenz was unbelievably difficult,

0:10:08 > 0:10:11and for that, Turing and his team built what really was

0:10:11 > 0:10:15the world's first computer. It was called Colossus.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It was way ahead of its time, it was quite extraordinary.

0:10:18 > 0:10:23It was all a complete national secret until very recently, wasn't it?

0:10:23 > 0:10:24Or quite recently.

0:10:24 > 0:10:28Absolutely. There is Bletchley Park. It is open to the public.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I'm a big advocate for it. I make no apology for banging its drum.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32It's a great place.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35It's an interesting choice that we took as a nation, though,

0:10:35 > 0:10:38during the Second World War, which was an expensive experience for us

0:10:38 > 0:10:41and left us bankrupt, but out of it we had, basically,

0:10:41 > 0:10:44invented the computer, and we decided to make it a secret.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48- Yes!- Without in any sense attempting to monetise it.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Actually, we gave the secret of Colossus to the CIA.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Oh, superb(!)

0:10:55 > 0:10:59What an excellent move. No-one will be needing that(!)

0:10:59 > 0:11:02There were a lot of people in British Government who thought,

0:11:02 > 0:11:06"What are these people in damp tweed with pipes and glasses doing

0:11:06 > 0:11:07"writing on bits of paper?"

0:11:07 > 0:11:10It was quite a big budget. "What are they doing?"

0:11:10 > 0:11:14Churchill had a look round and the fellow explained what they were doing,

0:11:14 > 0:11:18and there's a famous memo in Churchill's hand that just says "Give them what they want."

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Fantastic, that, isn't it?

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Can I just ask, and you may not be able to answer this,

0:11:23 > 0:11:26but what was the nature of the Enigma code?

0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Was it mathematical?- Yes. Don't ask me to give you precise details.

0:11:30 > 0:11:35I'm really no expert, but it was purely physical, mechanical device,

0:11:35 > 0:11:39but it had so many different rotors that had so many different angles

0:11:39 > 0:11:42and positions that there were hundreds of billions of permutations.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46It was our job to intercept or work out what the codeword

0:11:46 > 0:11:50of the day was and then we could translate the messages.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52But they were very lazy.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56The Germans made mistakes by using the names of their dogs and things.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59A lot of intelligence was gathered about people in Naval Intelligence,

0:11:59 > 0:12:02in particular about their dogs, their girlfriends.

0:12:02 > 0:12:03It's a bit like passwords.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05I'm beginning to think that

0:12:05 > 0:12:08people might be able to hack into my John Lewis account.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12Not named after your dog, surely?

0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's ironic, though, that they invented a computer which finished the war early,

0:12:16 > 0:12:20but the cyber war being waged by China will be the death of all of us.

0:12:20 > 0:12:23Yes. There is some... The worry about it is, I was speaking to

0:12:23 > 0:12:28a man at Los Alamos, which is where they developed the nuclear bomb.

0:12:28 > 0:12:32They said they had something like one million attacks an hour

0:12:32 > 0:12:36on their cyber front-end security. I said, "What, hackers?"

0:12:36 > 0:12:40And they said, "No. Nations. Well, let's be honest, one nation."

0:12:40 > 0:12:43And I was interviewing him on camera, and I said,

0:12:43 > 0:12:45"Would it rhyme with 'bina'?"

0:12:45 > 0:12:49He said, "It might well do." I said, "That's how many times

0:12:49 > 0:12:52"they're battering on the doors of your security?"

0:12:52 > 0:12:55They've got thousands of computers trying to work it out

0:12:55 > 0:12:5724 hours a day.

0:12:57 > 0:13:01Presumably, we're attempting in our own befuddled way to do the same.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04We've got a ZX80 on it 24/7!

0:13:07 > 0:13:10Except when Wimbledon's on!

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Yes, we've got a crow that can get a tiny bucket out of a Perspex tube!

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Take that, China!

0:13:19 > 0:13:23How long does the perfect job interview last?

0:13:23 > 0:13:24Yes, Jo?

0:13:26 > 0:13:28How long does a blowjob take?

0:13:28 > 0:13:30LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:13:35 > 0:13:40The extraordinary thing is the answer is exactly what I've got on my card -

0:13:40 > 0:13:42it's 12 seconds!

0:13:42 > 0:13:46- LAUGHTER - You're absolutely right!

0:13:46 > 0:13:51Wow. Very good. It does seem that 12 seconds is enough.

0:13:51 > 0:13:57And, bizarrely, you don't even have to hear. You can see video of someone and most people will agree

0:13:57 > 0:14:03to give him or her the job. After 12 seconds, the mind has been made up, it seems.

0:14:03 > 0:14:07Something about the attitude, the confidence, whatever it is,

0:14:07 > 0:14:11if it hasn't come across in 12 seconds, it won't.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16- Or so it would seem. Have you ever had to apply for a job?- Loads.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Never got any of them. - You're here, aren't you?- True.

0:14:20 > 0:14:26- But I slept with you, as you well know.- One of the best 12 seconds of my life!

0:14:26 > 0:14:28LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:14:34 > 0:14:38But I have applied for loads of jobs and not got a lot of them,

0:14:38 > 0:14:42but so much is to do with appearance, isn't it?

0:14:42 > 0:14:48As a fat person, you are pretty swiftly written off if there's a thin person in the offing.

0:14:48 > 0:14:55- That sort of thing makes a really big difference. - And they would never dare admit it.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, they told me a few times.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03"We'd love to employ you, but we've got a thin person."

0:15:03 > 0:15:09- "I understand."- Outrageous! How about you, Alan? What have you done before you went into comedy?

0:15:09 > 0:15:13- I never wanted to have a job. - Really?!

0:15:13 > 0:15:18- In the event of an interview, wear flip-flops. - LAUGHTER

0:15:18 > 0:15:22You will never be employed. Go in, put your feet up on the desk.

0:15:23 > 0:15:28- And they'll get the next person in! - That's fair.

0:15:28 > 0:15:34We have here a list of job interview questions you shouldn't ask, if we're the interviewing panel.

0:15:34 > 0:15:42You're not to ask, "Are you a smoker?" "Are you originally from the OK?" The UK!

0:15:42 > 0:15:46But if you're interviewing for a cowboy, it's a good question.

0:15:46 > 0:15:52I was going to say it's not OK to say, "Are you originally from the UK?" I screwed it up.

0:15:52 > 0:15:59- "Do you have children who need to be looked after?"- "In the event of a fire, will you stop working?"

0:15:59 > 0:16:06"Do you plan to have children in future?" And then, "What are your weaknesses?" is a common one.

0:16:06 > 0:16:13The temptation, of course, is to attempt to subvert it by naming a weakness that is a strength.

0:16:13 > 0:16:19"Oh, my trouble is I'm just a terrible perfectionist. I can't stop until it's perfect."

0:16:19 > 0:16:25- "I'm so punctual!"- "My problem is I'm really nice. I'm too nice."

0:16:25 > 0:16:30That is transparent. Don't do that. Say one that is not terrible,

0:16:30 > 0:16:35like, "I tend to get bogged down in details, but I'm making an effort."

0:16:35 > 0:16:37- "I'm a terrible thief." - LAUGHTER

0:16:40 > 0:16:45- "I love other people's stuff." - "I can't concentr... Oh, look! A squirrel!"

0:16:45 > 0:16:52"What are your weaknesses?" "Heroin and masturbating, not necessarily in that order."

0:16:53 > 0:16:59- "What are your strengths?" Here's another one.- "My odour. I've got a powerful odour.

0:16:59 > 0:17:03"It only gets stronger as the day goes on."

0:17:03 > 0:17:05LAUGHTER

0:17:07 > 0:17:15- You're still wearing your "I don't want a bloody job" hat! - "These feet stink by four o'clock."

0:17:15 > 0:17:18Don't say, "I work well without supervision,"

0:17:18 > 0:17:22which may seem good, but it sounds, "I resent management," is what you're saying.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26So say, "I work equally well with or without supervision."

0:17:26 > 0:17:29"I relish working in a team."

0:17:29 > 0:17:32Yes! Eugh! Vomit-worthy, isn't it?

0:17:32 > 0:17:39Don't say, "I'm confident, outgoing and a natural leader." That suggests a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Say, "I have good interpersonal skills."

0:17:42 > 0:17:45If I met someone who said who said they had good interpersonal skills,

0:17:45 > 0:17:48I'd get a rusty knife and do that in their stomach.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52- Until they bled to death! - "I've got good interpersonal skills" is proof that you don't!- Exactly!

0:17:52 > 0:17:56You immediately annoy the person you're talking to.

0:17:56 > 0:18:00"I'm comfortable taking instructions from idiots like you."

0:18:00 > 0:18:02LAUGHTER

0:18:02 > 0:18:06There are weird things like the person interviewing you might just fall asleep.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09Apparently, the smart thing to do

0:18:09 > 0:18:13- is leave a note saying, "I enjoyed meeting you."- Is it?!

0:18:13 > 0:18:18- I'd say that's an incredibly unassertive thing to do.- I agree.

0:18:18 > 0:18:22"Wake up, you lazy sod! This is my life we're talking about!"

0:18:22 > 0:18:25So you mustn't lick their face?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- LAUGHTER - Now, that would be good.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33Imagine them waking up and you're there with your tongue on their nose.

0:18:37 > 0:18:44I had a job in the Civil Service - loved that(!) - for six months and they asked me the wrong question.

0:18:44 > 0:18:49If they'd said to me, "Are you likely in three months' time to get pissed in the club bar,

0:18:49 > 0:18:54"go back to your desk, fall asleep and then fall off your chair?"

0:18:54 > 0:19:00I could have said yes and they could have not given me the job, but that is what happened and I got sacked.

0:19:00 > 0:19:06- They stupidly didn't have a question for that.- The wrong question.- No-one but themselves to blame.- Absolutely.

0:19:06 > 0:19:11They also ask, "How many piano tuners are there in the UK?"

0:19:11 > 0:19:16- What?!- It tests your initiative or your wit when you give an answer.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20"Will you take advantage of Bring Your Kestrel To Work Thursday?"

0:19:20 > 0:19:25The whole thing sounds horrible, the world of job interviews.

0:19:25 > 0:19:32The thing that seems unfair to me is people expected to pretend to care about jobs they don't care about.

0:19:32 > 0:19:38You should be allowed to say, "You can't put in my contract that I have to seem like I give a shit."

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- LAUGHTER - That's expecting too much.

0:19:41 > 0:19:46I really like living in a country with such poor customer service.

0:19:46 > 0:19:48I've got respect for that.

0:19:48 > 0:19:53"This is a horrible train, you're tearing tickets. Of course you're in an awful mood."

0:19:55 > 0:19:59Now that you've put it like that I shall feel better about it.

0:19:59 > 0:20:05Why have a cheesy grin on your face if you work in an awful supermarket?

0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's the sign either of a liar or a moron.

0:20:08 > 0:20:13- Exactly.- It's funny when people are rude in shops, isn't it? It still takes you by surprise.

0:20:13 > 0:20:20My wife went to a shop today to buy an ironing basket. "I've never heard of such a thing.

0:20:20 > 0:20:27- "I have no idea where you would find something like that."- "You've just put two words next to each other

0:20:27 > 0:20:33- "in a mad way!" - Me and my mates would deliberately go to a Chinese restaurant

0:20:33 > 0:20:37in Wardour Street because they were so foul to you.

0:20:37 > 0:20:44The best ever time we went there, we were actually moved mid-meal to a different floor.

0:20:44 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER

0:20:46 > 0:20:49"You go upstair now!"

0:20:50 > 0:20:55"Excuse me?" "You go upstair now. This table booked."

0:20:55 > 0:20:58"I'm in the middle of my dinner!" "You go upstair!"

0:20:58 > 0:21:03An army of waiters moved our meal. I was pissing myself!

0:21:03 > 0:21:06LAUGHTER Fantastic.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10Job interviews only need to last 12 seconds, it seems.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12Of course, it helps to believe in yourself as well.

0:21:12 > 0:21:16How do you know if you're incompetent?

0:21:16 > 0:21:19"MASTERMIND" THEME

0:21:19 > 0:21:22Is it because you did very badly at your last job which

0:21:22 > 0:21:25involved organising a piss-up in a brewery?

0:21:25 > 0:21:27You'd think that would be hint wouldn't you?

0:21:27 > 0:21:32No, there is a thing called the Dunning-Kruger effect

0:21:32 > 0:21:35which is that if you're incompetent, you don't know it because the thing

0:21:35 > 0:21:40that makes you incompetent means you don't realise what the competent thing is.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44So lets imagine you've got a rather mediocre doctor who hasn't

0:21:44 > 0:21:47diagnosed something that a smarter doctor would have done.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51The incompetent doctor doesn't know he's incompetent because he doesn't

0:21:51 > 0:21:54know what it is that he hasn't done. Do you see what I mean?

0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Doesn't he realise that when the patient dies?- Patients die anyway.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00Only if some really smart doctor goes, didn't you realise this? Then they go, "Oops!"

0:22:00 > 0:22:02But the fact is they don't know they're incompetent

0:22:02 > 0:22:05They don't know they're incompetent,

0:22:05 > 0:22:10that's sort of what makes you incompetent. The fact is, we don't know...what we don't know.

0:22:10 > 0:22:14Are you saying you can tell if you're incompetent if you're happy?

0:22:14 > 0:22:20Basically! There are incompetent people who you feel, must know they're incompetent.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24There were a couple of thieves in America, you'll be surprised to know,

0:22:24 > 0:22:27who surprised themselves thus, using Magic Markers.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29LAUGHTER

0:22:29 > 0:22:33They thought the could get away with that! That was in Iowa.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37There's a look of realisation in their eyes.

0:22:37 > 0:22:41Yes, we now realise this wouldn't have been sufficient.

0:22:41 > 0:22:45in 1994 a 30-year-old plumber and part time terrorist

0:22:45 > 0:22:50in sunny Al Jahaleen entered the cinema in Al Zarqa in Jordan with a bomb.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54It was showing x-rated films which he disapproved

0:22:54 > 0:23:00so he planted his bomb under a seat but then got carried away

0:23:00 > 0:23:04watching the film and it exploded and too away both his legs!

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- The bomb?- Yes.- Thank god.

0:23:10 > 0:23:12Isn't that excellent news?

0:23:12 > 0:23:16Um, anyway... Very strange!

0:23:16 > 0:23:19Now, would you like to see an ingenious interlude?

0:23:19 > 0:23:24- I've been trying to get better at these chemistry experiments. - These are my favourite bits.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27They are fun. This is a speaker, as you can see.

0:23:27 > 0:23:34This is cornflour mixed with water, as you would buy in any high street cornflour shop or supermarket.

0:23:34 > 0:23:40- It's used as a thickening agent. - It's not green, though.- We've made i green to make it stand out more.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45It has a particular property. It's a non-Newtonian fluid. It's very peculiar.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I'm going to pour it here. Gloopy, I think, is the word.

0:23:48 > 0:23:54And unlike most liquids which change their viscosity according to their temperature,

0:23:54 > 0:23:57these change according to pressure

0:23:57 > 0:24:01and we hope that a bit of sound played by Ben, our sound man...

0:24:01 > 0:24:04- LOW VIBRATING SOUND Hello!- It's beginning to vibrate.

0:24:04 > 0:24:10As it gets louder, the effect will get more extraordinary... It's a wonderful feeling.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15- LAUGHTER - I might be able to give it a tickle with a spoon. There we go.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17There you are.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19If I keep... Oops!

0:24:19 > 0:24:25And you start to get basically little Morphs making love with each other.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27LAUGHTER

0:24:27 > 0:24:30- It's so weird. - Isn't it? There you go.

0:24:30 > 0:24:35You have just screwed every stereo of every QI viewer.

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Isn't that creepy?

0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Margaret, get the cornflour! - It's like little wavy, green people.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47And they're all rising and making love.

0:24:47 > 0:24:54- That's what you say!- You're adding that.- It looks like it. - I think they're being burned alive.

0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Some of them are waving. - "Help me, I'm drowning!"

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Isn't it extraordinary?

0:25:00 > 0:25:04And all that is is water and cornflour. It's quite amazing.

0:25:04 > 0:25:10- What?!- It's the actual vibrations, the physical effect that changes the viscosity.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Let's all gather round.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- They climb out... They look as if they're trying to climb out.- Yes.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22- It's rather beautiful. - That is fantastic.- Isn't it?

0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's like a glimpse into hell, isn't it?

0:25:25 > 0:25:30- All the souls writhing around, trying to escape. - That's just what it looks like.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Maybe it is.- Yes, souls in agony.

0:25:33 > 0:25:38And then it goes quiet again and settles back into liquid form.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41- Isn't that amazing? - APPLAUSE

0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, I've got, um...

0:25:47 > 0:25:51I've got clingfilm, but they've not furnished me with a wet wipe.

0:25:54 > 0:25:56Oh, look at the muck on 'ere!

0:25:56 > 0:26:02- Would you like a tissue? - "I was at work tonight and I got green gunk all over me purple suit!

0:26:02 > 0:26:05- "Eeh, I look like Jack Nicholson!" - Oh, there we are.

0:26:05 > 0:26:10There are various non-Newtonian fluids. They are working on a liquid armour,

0:26:10 > 0:26:16which is weird, but the higher the pressure of the bullet, the more solid the liquid will become.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20- How am I only seeing this for the first time tonight?- It's exciting.

0:26:20 > 0:26:26Every time I go round someone's house, why aren't they playing dub reggae and getting the cornflour out.

0:26:26 > 0:26:32You know what to do next time. Now, what is this robot designed to do?

0:26:34 > 0:26:36- "MASTERMIND" THEME - Blimey! Yes?

0:26:36 > 0:26:39To overthrow the puny humans?

0:26:39 > 0:26:42That's what most robots are designed to do.

0:26:42 > 0:26:47- It's for hanging a jacket on.- This is actually an iron-shirt robot.

0:26:47 > 0:26:53It irons your shirt. You put on a shirt and it puffs up and irons it, gets rid of its creases.

0:26:53 > 0:26:58I think it might be a replacement husband because it's just sitting there doing fuck-all.

0:26:59 > 0:27:04That would be a good job. The fact is, there was so much promise for robots

0:27:04 > 0:27:07and a lot of artificial intelligence research.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Sorry, is it just this atmosphere? Are you thirsty?

0:27:12 > 0:27:14Can we have a drink? Thank you.

0:27:14 > 0:27:21- I've got a friend here who's going to give me a drink.- It's not like Yo! Sushi, is it?- No. Here we are.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24APPLAUSE

0:27:27 > 0:27:29'This is for you.'

0:27:29 > 0:27:32Thank you.

0:27:32 > 0:27:36That's very kind of you. Welcome to QI, Asimo.

0:27:36 > 0:27:39'Thank you, Stephen. It is great to be here.'

0:27:39 > 0:27:41Isn't he marvellous?

0:27:41 > 0:27:46"Here I am, brain the size of a planet, opening doors..."

0:27:47 > 0:27:54- You're the most advanced humanoid robot on the planet? Is that right? - 'That is what they tell me.'

0:27:54 > 0:27:57Why don't you show us what you can do?

0:27:57 > 0:27:59'I would love to.'

0:28:00 > 0:28:05- Is he going to kill me? - Honestly, I promise you you are going to be impressed.

0:28:06 > 0:28:12I mean, this is... This movement that is so simple to us...

0:28:12 > 0:28:18They can do calculations we could never dream of doing, any computer, but this movement he's doing...

0:28:18 > 0:28:20He's going to go down a step, right?

0:28:20 > 0:28:25- Give him time. - If he falls over, that's 20 million quid up the Swanee!

0:28:25 > 0:28:28APPLAUSE

0:28:28 > 0:28:29Now...

0:28:33 > 0:28:35LAUGHTER

0:28:35 > 0:28:41Now he'll do something that I think no-one in this room will ever have seen, which is truly miraculous.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44"Studio audience killed by runaway robot!"

0:28:44 > 0:28:50No, he's going to run. I'd like you to run, Asimo. This takes him a bit of time.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53Both feet will leave the ground and he will run.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55There he goes.

0:28:55 > 0:28:57Ohh! APPLAUSE

0:28:57 > 0:29:00Isn't that amazing?

0:29:00 > 0:29:02- It is.- Isn't that incredible?

0:29:06 > 0:29:08Well done.

0:29:08 > 0:29:13Well done, Asimo. I think it's only fair that you get some points.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17'Thanks, but what I would really like is a dance with Jo.'

0:29:17 > 0:29:19LAUGHTER

0:29:19 > 0:29:22- Oh, my word! - I think that can be arranged.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30He wouldn't say that if he'd met me.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33'Hi, Jo.'

0:29:33 > 0:29:37Hi, Asimo. I'm married. Sorry.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42DISCO MUSIC

0:29:45 > 0:29:47Oh, yes!

0:30:05 > 0:30:07CHEERING

0:30:16 > 0:30:18Well done, everybody.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - And he's bowing!

0:30:23 > 0:30:25LAUGHTER

0:30:26 > 0:30:27Amazing!

0:30:27 > 0:30:31- I've scored! - Thank you very much, Asimo.

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Goodbye then.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37- What's the battery like on one of these?- Love you!

0:30:37 > 0:30:39APPLAUSE

0:30:44 > 0:30:46There he goes.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50- Round the corner.- I can't help feeling he's heavily weaponised.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Should be in the movies. - Why do you think he's called Asimo?

0:30:54 > 0:30:59It's bloody depressing that even a robot can dance better than I can!

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I presume it's an acronym, is it?

0:31:03 > 0:31:08- Asimo?- Is it a tribute to Isaac Asimov?- No, that's what a lot of people assume.

0:31:08 > 0:31:14It's a coincidence. It's from the Japanese. "Asi" means "feet" and "mo" is short for "movement".

0:31:14 > 0:31:18They're most proud, you can see why, of his extraordinary ability.

0:31:18 > 0:31:24The amount of technology that goes into a machine that can walk bipedally like that and run!

0:31:24 > 0:31:27We're at that stage now, which is amazing, but how far are we

0:31:27 > 0:31:29- from mechagodzilla? - Ah, that's what we need.

0:31:29 > 0:31:35That's a great big tall one, bigger than buildings, running round Tokyo.

0:31:35 > 0:31:39- Breathing fire as well, doesn't it? - I don't know that mechagodzilla breathed fire

0:31:39 > 0:31:43- as much as had missiles in his fists. - Oh yes! Got to be one of the other, surely.

0:31:43 > 0:31:48I'm not absolutely sure about the voice. It sounds a bit like Michael Jackson which is a bit chilling.

0:31:48 > 0:31:53Yeah, it would be more reassuring if it was a mechanical voice.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55What, like a more sort of...

0:31:55 > 0:31:59GRUFF VOICE: "Hello, Jo, do you want to dance?"

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Or maybe Bernard Manning?

0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Or Ste-phen Haw-king, it could talk to you like him.- That's very good.

0:32:05 > 0:32:10I think it would have been more reassuring if its dancing was like robotic dancing,

0:32:10 > 0:32:12rather than trying to be human.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15I find its attempts to be human tragic.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18LAUGHTER

0:32:18 > 0:32:20Well, aren't you easily pleased(?)

0:32:20 > 0:32:26I'd like for it to be like Jerry Springer. The robot runs on and goes "Who are you cal-ling rub-bish?"

0:32:26 > 0:32:28LAUGHTER

0:32:28 > 0:32:33Then big blokes in QI black T-shirts have to pull it off... LAUGHTER

0:32:33 > 0:32:36ROBOTIC VOICE: "Get off me, you slags! Get off me, you slags!

0:32:36 > 0:32:39"He was asking for it."

0:32:39 > 0:32:42"I want a DNA test!"

0:32:42 > 0:32:44LAUGHTER

0:32:44 > 0:32:45APPLAUSE

0:32:49 > 0:32:53At the moment, he can recognise people, objects and gestures.

0:32:53 > 0:32:54He has cameras in there.

0:32:54 > 0:33:01He can calculate distances and the direction of movement and create flexible routes to a destination.

0:33:01 > 0:33:03He can hear and speak to an extent.

0:33:03 > 0:33:06He can understand about 50 different calls and greetings,

0:33:06 > 0:33:10as well as 30 different commands and react to them accordingly.

0:33:10 > 0:33:16There's a long way to go, but I was bloody impressed. Thank you very much to Asimo and his handlers.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19APPLAUSE

0:33:22 > 0:33:28That brings us to the all-too human world of general ignorance. Fingers on buzzers, if you please.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32How many piano tuners are there in the UK?

0:33:33 > 0:33:36Is the right answer!

0:33:36 > 0:33:40- 'Nobody knows.'- Yes, get in there... - APPLAUSE

0:33:40 > 0:33:43Yes, it's a very strange thing,

0:33:43 > 0:33:49but even the British Association of Piano Tuners has no idea how many piano tuners there are.

0:33:49 > 0:33:53Somewhere between 1,000 and 10,000 is their guess.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57- That's a very wide gap.- It is a very wide gap. They just don't know.

0:33:57 > 0:33:59You could try and work it out.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02You could look in the Yellow Pages and count them.

0:34:02 > 0:34:06Don't people have to put what their job is in the Census?

0:34:06 > 0:34:11A piano tuner is often a moonlighting job, not necessarily a full-time one.

0:34:11 > 0:34:16I like the idea that the part-time masturbating terrorist was also a piano tuner as well.

0:34:16 > 0:34:19- One of his many other jobs. - Indeed, indeed,

0:34:19 > 0:34:23- and a dental technician. - Also delivered the Baghdad exchange and mark.- Yes.

0:34:23 > 0:34:29On a clock face, how many times a day do the two hands overlap?

0:34:32 > 0:34:37This is definitely one to avoid answering at all costs.

0:34:37 > 0:34:43I mean... Isn't it every hour, surely? So 24, 12 times?

0:34:43 > 0:34:47ALARM SOUNDS

0:34:47 > 0:34:49Well you'd think it would be 24,

0:34:49 > 0:34:52you'd think it would until you reason thusly -

0:34:52 > 0:34:54that the first time it overlaps is at 12 o'clock.

0:34:54 > 0:34:57And then at five past one, and ten past two and quarter past three.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Yes but you lose an hour, you lose one in 12.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02In fact we can show it speeded up and you can count.

0:35:02 > 0:35:06It starts with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

0:35:14 > 0:35:17I feel like I'm getting older.

0:35:17 > 0:35:2222 is the answer, yeah, and you can do the math!

0:35:22 > 0:35:26In as much as the hour hand moves forward to the one it takes a minute

0:35:26 > 0:35:29and a little more than 65 minutes to catch up with it, not 60.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31There are 1,440 minutes in the day,

0:35:31 > 0:35:34divided by 65 equals 22 and a tiny bit.

0:35:34 > 0:35:38So that's 22 overlaps a day. You look pleased.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Can I just say, I used to think I was intelligent but I'm not.

0:35:42 > 0:35:46Oh, you are. It's one of those things, you can make up for it

0:35:46 > 0:35:48by telling us where the biggest clock face in Britain is.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52Is it going to be in a public place like a railway station?

0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Is it one of those, like, garden ones? Is it a floral?- No, it's not.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58- It's not far from here. - Palace of Westminster?

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- ALARM - Oh, no, I'm afraid it's not, no.

0:36:01 > 0:36:05It's not what is commonly called Big Ben or St Stephen's tower,

0:36:05 > 0:36:09it's not that one, though that is a jolly big one, that's 23ft in diameter.

0:36:09 > 0:36:10The one we're after is opposite it.

0:36:10 > 0:36:14- Is it the wheel, the Millennium Wheel?- No, that doesn't count,

0:36:14 > 0:36:17it's opposite the Millennium Wheel, virtually.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22- Oh, the Shell building?- The Shell Mex building on The Strand, absolutely right.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25It's now the headquarters of Penguin, the publishers,

0:36:25 > 0:36:27there it is. Rather splendid -

0:36:27 > 0:36:32it's the biggest clock face in Britain. The second biggest after that

0:36:32 > 0:36:36is the Royal Liver Building clock which is also slightly bigger

0:36:36 > 0:36:38than what we'll call Big Ben.

0:36:38 > 0:36:41- LIVERPUDLIAN ACCENT: - That's it, the Liver Building now, like, eh?

0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Eh?- Eh?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Now then!

0:36:48 > 0:36:53So, the hands on a clock overlap 22 times a day.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Now, when was time immemorial?

0:36:56 > 0:36:58# The Simpsons! #

0:36:58 > 0:37:00LAUGHTER

0:37:02 > 0:37:05HUMS "THE SIMPSONS" THEME TUNE

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- The time before The Simpsons started?- That would count.

0:37:11 > 0:37:16- I don't understand what "time immemorial" means. - If you say, for example...

0:37:16 > 0:37:22If you can prove in a court of law that you've been grazing your sheep on some land since time immemorial,

0:37:22 > 0:37:25you don't have to re-justify your right to do it.

0:37:25 > 0:37:32- It's an established practice that has been done since time immemorial. - It doesn't mean "for ever"?- No.

0:37:32 > 0:37:36It specifically, originally meant the 6th of July, 1189.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38LAUGHTER

0:37:38 > 0:37:45There must have been a lot of excitement in the run-up to that. "It's time immemorial tomorrow!"

0:37:46 > 0:37:49- And there'd be... - "At last we can get things sorted.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53"Whatever's happening tomorrow, we stick to."

0:37:54 > 0:38:00It was the day of the coronation of a particular sovereign in our country.

0:38:00 > 0:38:06- Richard I.- You read History and that's damn good. It wasn't a wasted education. It was indeed Richard I

0:38:06 > 0:38:09who was crowned in 1189.

0:38:09 > 0:38:13It was decided then that the first Statute of Westminster,

0:38:13 > 0:38:19which was a few years after his reign, it defined his reign as the limit of legal memory.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23Did they have to raise such an army just to catch those two seagulls?

0:38:23 > 0:38:27LAUGHTER

0:38:27 > 0:38:29"There they are!

0:38:29 > 0:38:31"After them, men!

0:38:31 > 0:38:35"They've been flying since time immemorial!"

0:38:35 > 0:38:41The one on the right is saying, "I can't believe we're doing all this for those two poxy seagulls!"

0:38:41 > 0:38:46Do you think the French, when they saw them, thought, "Oh, my God, it's the Red Cross people!

0:38:46 > 0:38:52"Try and not meet their eye. Sorry, mate, I've got to go. I can't stop."

0:38:52 > 0:38:56What is the brakeman's job during a bobsleigh race?

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Oh, he puts the brakes on.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00- ALARM SOUNDS - Oh, Jo, no, no, no.

0:39:00 > 0:39:03I was just trying to move us on!

0:39:03 > 0:39:09He's the last one to jump on. He's the one who gives it the biggest push, he's the biggest, usually,

0:39:09 > 0:39:12he's the one who gets it really accelerating.

0:39:12 > 0:39:17You're not allowed to brake during the race cos you'd ruin the smooth surface of the ice.

0:39:17 > 0:39:23Um, there are other versions that are done on bobsleigh courses, such as luging, what does luging involve?

0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Going down on a tea tray.- Yeah,

0:39:25 > 0:39:27that's right. In which direction, as it were?

0:39:27 > 0:39:30Feet-first is luging, and what's the other one where you're head-first?

0:39:30 > 0:39:32- Suicide.- Yeah, you'd think!

0:39:32 > 0:39:35The Cresta Run is a skeleton which is where you're head-first

0:39:35 > 0:39:38and you slide down at incredible speed.

0:39:38 > 0:39:44There was a time in the late 19th century when the fastest people on the planet were the people

0:39:44 > 0:39:46who did the Cresta Run, until the invention of the aeroplane.

0:39:46 > 0:39:51- I've got a supplementary question which might help you get some points.- Can you remember

0:39:51 > 0:39:52which Caribbean country surprisingly came 29th in the 88th...

0:39:52 > 0:39:55"MASTERMIND" THEME Jamaica.

0:39:55 > 0:39:58- ALARM - Oh, dear.

0:39:58 > 0:40:02No, no, I'm afraid Jamaica came 30th. The surprising thing is

0:40:02 > 0:40:07there was another Caribbean country about which they didn't make a film.

0:40:07 > 0:40:13The film, as you see, there's John Candy, was Cool Runnings, a fine film.

0:40:13 > 0:40:17But for some reason they decided the heroic achievement

0:40:17 > 0:40:21of the Dutch Lesser Antilles team was not worthy of a film.

0:40:21 > 0:40:28- Just wasn't as cool as Jamaica, they don't have a Bob Marley figure I suppose.- But also, they've not got a catchy name for their country.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31It's confusing because it's got the nationality

0:40:31 > 0:40:34- of a different country in it. - And it's lesser.

0:40:34 > 0:40:37- Yeah, it's... - Dutch Lesser Antilles.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40Bizarre you should say that because it not longer exists -

0:40:40 > 0:40:42The Netherlands and Antilles went their separate ways

0:40:42 > 0:40:45and it ceased to exist in 2010

0:40:45 > 0:40:49and its national anthem when it did exist was called Anthem Without a Title.

0:40:49 > 0:40:53Because the title of our country is so poor we can't trust ourselves

0:40:53 > 0:40:58to think of another one. We'll call it French Song or something!

0:40:58 > 0:41:03It's terribly sad. Anyway, so that was the story of the Dutch Lesser Antilles

0:41:03 > 0:41:05and their famous bobsleigh team

0:41:05 > 0:41:08who came 29th in the '88 winter Olympics.

0:41:08 > 0:41:12It brings us to the end of this QI IQ test,

0:41:12 > 0:41:17so hand in your papers and I'll tally up the scores and oh, my goodness me!

0:41:17 > 0:41:19Well, it's very exciting, actually.

0:41:19 > 0:41:22Top of the class

0:41:22 > 0:41:24with four points

0:41:24 > 0:41:26is David Mitchell!

0:41:26 > 0:41:28APPLAUSE

0:41:31 > 0:41:37In second place with minus four is Phill Jupitus.

0:41:37 > 0:41:40APPLAUSE

0:41:44 > 0:41:48And in third place with minus eight is Jo Brand.

0:41:48 > 0:41:51APPLAUSE

0:41:53 > 0:41:59In clear last place with minus 16 is Alan Davies.

0:41:59 > 0:42:00APPLAUSE

0:42:02 > 0:42:04But...

0:42:04 > 0:42:09the clear, clear winner this week with an extraordinary 32 points

0:42:09 > 0:42:12is the magnificent Asimo!

0:42:12 > 0:42:15CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:23 > 0:42:30So it's good night from David, Phill, Jo, Alan and not forgetting Asimo and me.

0:42:30 > 0:42:36And I just want to share with you the cover story of a recent National Geographic magazine,

0:42:36 > 0:42:41which is about the recreation by archaeologists at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey.

0:42:41 > 0:42:47It's the oldest temple in the world. Some people think it's the oldest building in the world.

0:42:47 > 0:42:52It's 11,600 years old and what excites me is that it looks like this.

0:42:52 > 0:42:54Does it remind you of anything?

0:42:54 > 0:42:57Good night. On that bombshell, good night.

0:42:58 > 0:43:00APPLAUSE
