And it is the general knowledge round now, of course. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:37 | |
And if there's a tie at the end of it then the number of passes | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
is taken into account and the person with the fewer passes is the winner. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
So let's get on with it, and ask Alan to join us again, please. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
Now, you're going to have to explain to me, Alan, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
how does an autistic gardener | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
view a garden differently? | 0:11:57 | 0:11:59 | |
Because you're kind of mathematical, aren't you? | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
Yeah, in my sort of case seeing the world differently | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
is using different things, different objects. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
One of the gardens that I've done for a series | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
is Fibonacci's sequence - | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
to form patterns and shapes based on 3, 5, 8, 13, 21. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:18 | |
And you also create spirals like in snail shells. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
So you're actually using a mathematical sequence that occurs in nature | 0:12:22 | 0:12:26 | |
and actually building something up structurally upon that. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:30 | |
And would anybody who doesn't have your mathematical knowledge | 0:12:30 | 0:12:35 | |
and ability, would they be able to spot that that's what you've done? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
It's not vital that when you do something that is conceptual | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
that the person has to understand what that concept is. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
It's like looking at art, isn't it? | 0:12:47 | 0:12:49 | |
It might be conceptual, but it's got to be very pleasing. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
It's got to be something that looks beautiful | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
or the whole concept is out of the window. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
Fascinating. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:00 | |
Wow, thank you for that. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:01 | |
Now, we're into general knowledge. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
Yeah. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
And you get two minutes instead of 90 seconds. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
Here we go. Two minutes. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:09 | |
What part of an elephant is the proboscis? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-Trunk. -In the theatre, what stage prop is known as Kensington Gore? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |
