Episode 13 The Code

Hello and welcome to The Code.

Locked inside this safe is £3,000.

To open the safe and win the money,

contestants just need to crack this three-digit code.

But each time someone fails, more money goes into the safe

and the jackpot gets higher and higher.

Yesterday, Colin from Surrey became our first solo player

to claim the jackpot and he walked away with £4,500.

So, let's meet our next team hoping to do the same.

And here they are. Step in, gents. Lovely to meet you, Zeus.

-Nice to meet you.

-How are you doing? And Dan.

-Hi.

-How are you?

Right, tell me a bit about you guys. How do you know each other?

We're friends through a mutual love of quizzing,

not that we're any good, but we both love it

-and we both go to pub quizzes together.

-So, both quizzers.

-Yes.

Zeus, what do you do for a living?

-I'm a business intelligence analyst.

-What does that actually mean?

I'm basically a professional stats guy,

so I work for a voucher site and I analyse user behaviour,

where they go, what they do, how they spend their money.

-You are a member of MENSA, is that right?

-That's correct.

-How and why did you get that?

-So, I joined MENSA when I was 14.

Parents said, "Why don't you take an IQ test to see what it's like",

cos I used to like all this maths

and puzzle stuff when I was younger

-and yeah, I happened to have an IQ, at the time, of 149.

-OK.

So, I was accepted to MENSA and I've just sort of kept it up since.

Right. What do you do for a living, Dan?

So, I work in customer service at the moment, back in Plymouth,

in a call centre, so people just calling up and telling me

that stuff's wrong and I try and fix it for them, essentially.

You have to also be incredibly patient for that

because people don't always get it, they don't always see

that there's another human being on the end of the phone.

To be fair, I've done a lot of work in customer service

and I feel I'm all right at managing people that aren't very happy.

OK. Well, let's hope you're both very happy today.

You've done something to your fingers. What's going on?

-I fractured it playing dodgeball.

-Dodgeball?

Yes, I'm in a dodgeball league and play every week.

OK, listen, let's not worry about dodgeball,

let's concentrate on this game

and trying to get you the £3,000 that's in that safe.

-Are you ready to play, you guys?

-Yep.

-Sure.

-Glad to hear it.

To open the safe and win £3,000, you need to enter a three-digit code.

All you have to do is pick the correct answer each time.

You can then select a number from 0 to 9

and the computer will reveal whether or not it's in your code.

But be warned - if you pick one incorrect answer,

you will be out of the game, back on your way home.

It's instant elimination. That's the way it works.

If you're ready, let's set the code.

There it is. Three blanks. We want to turn those into three numbers.

Before we get cracking, let's say a very warm welcome to Lesley.

Hello to Zeus and Dan.

Zeus, have you worked out the chances of getting

-three numbers in a row?

-Yes, I have.

In a row, it would be one-tenth times one-ninth times one-eighth,

which is 1 in 720, I believe?

-You've got less than a 1% chance of doing it, yes.

-Excellent.

That's just to cheer you up. Thank you, Lesley. Are you ready, gents?

Let's have a look at your first three answers.

Now, only one of those is correct.

That's the one you're trying to find.

At this point, you can open all three questions.

Where would you like to start?

Shall we go in order?

-Might as well, yeah.

-Many people do. Starting at the top?

Yeah, "Birmingham".

OK, let's open the question behind "Birmingham", please.

I have an inkling but I don't want to say anything.

I don't want to sway you. I think it might be correct but I'm not sure.

-Don't forget, at this stage, you can open the other questions.

-Yeah.

So, before you commit, you can have a look at either "Hair" or "360".

Doing it in order. "Hair", please.

Let's open the question behind "Hair", please.

Is that a tail or hair?

I think the ones without hair are Sphynx cats.

Very possibly, yeah. I feel like Manx might be tail.

-OK, shall we have a look at the question behind "360"?

-Yes, please.

It's not a hexagon, it's a square. Hexagon would be more.

It would be another 180 on top of that, so I think that's incorrect.

Which one do you want to lock in as the correct answer?

-So, you're a big Friends fan.

-Yeah.

And there's an episode where Rachel brings home a cat.

Do you know what kind of cat it was cos it didn't have hair?

I'm sure it's... I think the ones without hair are called Sphynx cats.

That's what goes in my head.

And it's not just because they're like the big mythological Sphynx?

I mean, I don't know. You're good at maths.

Yeah, I'm 100% sure that the third one is incorrect.

And you were inclined to think the first one...

Well, I've been to a chocolate factory.

It was when I was visiting my friend near Birmingham,

which make me think it should be that one,

but I don't remember it being Bournville.

We were near Birmingham cos now I think she lives up in Coventry,

which is not too far away.

My geography isn't great but she was definitely near Birmingham

at the time, so I'm inclined to go...

I'd be inclined to go the first one.

-We want to lock in Birmingham as the correct answer.

-Yes, please.

-Yes.

OK.

We want this to turn green. We want Birmingham to be the correct answer.

We want Bournville to be a neighbourhood of Birmingham

to give Zeus and Dan the start they need.

We want it to go green.

Good stuff, guys.

-Thank goodness.

-Good stuff.

Very nervous at a very early stage of the game,

but the right answer. Lesley.

Absolutely right and Cadbury World is probably what you visited

near Birmingham, established by the Cadbury family to house the workers.

There were no public houses there.

There's only one licensed bar there that's been there

since the '40s, but no pubs.

A distinguishing feature of most Manx cats...

Some Manx cats DO have these. Tails.

And you were thinking about the Sphynx earlier

and I heard you mention Rachel's cat in Friends,

Mrs Whiskerson, a Sphynx cat. Not quite no hair.

They have hair but it's very, very fine and invisible.

And the interior angles of a hexagon total how many degrees?

Your maths background helped you with this. 720.

OK, thank you very much, Lesley. It means you get the chance

to choose a number, see if it's there in your code.

Which number are you going to go for, Zeus and Dan?

-Any big preferences?

-I was thinking 4, for no real reason.

-OK, we'll go with that.

-4, for no real reason.

Let's see if it's in the code. Is number 4 in the first box?

It's not. Is it in the second box?

It's not there. Is it in the third and final box?

It's not there, so hard luck.

But you will have worked out, no doubt, that this is not a bad thing.

Eliminating the numbers at the early stage of the game,

when you're still getting all three questions,

means you can make progress when it's easy.

OK, if you're ready, let's have a look at your next three answers.

-In order again?

-Might as well.

From the top, let's have a look at the question behind "China", please.

-Ideas?

-None whatsoever. Might as well...

I have nothing to go on on this question, so...

-Shall we just crack on with the next one?

-Yeah, "Red & Blue", please.

Let's look at the question

behind "Red & Blue".

It's red and black, I think.

I'm not 100%, but at work, we have a table tennis table

and some of the guys are quite keen on their table tennis

and I really feel like the bats are red and black.

Yeah, shall we see the next one?

Let's have a look at the question behind "Bard".

Cacofonix, like a cacophony of noise.

A bard makes noise, makes sound. That's all I have to go on.

-I never read Asterix.

-No, I've never read it.

I was hoping "Bard"

might be a Shakespeare thing,

I did a drama degree, but no. Um...

We've got three answers and three questions.

It feels like one of them

-you're fairly solid on.

-Yep.

-One of them no idea at all,

one of them an inkling,

basically a bit of logic

is as much as we've got.

Oh, man, these are difficult. Um...

What are you thinking?

How do you feel about Cacofonix being a bard?

-Does my logic make sense?

-It makes sense.

I'd be maybe inclined

to go with that one because...

Well, for no reason other than

it sounds like it could be right.

I'm sure I read an article about the G8 summit.

If it's political, China don't do anything that offensive,

do they, really? It could be, like, Russia or...

Yeah, I would be inclined to say that's incorrect.

Yeah, I'm happy to lock in the "Bard".

OK, you're happy to lock that in...

-Happy.

-..as a correct answer. "Bard".

Is this one for MENSA?

Or are we slightly "densa"?

Is "Bard" our correct answer?

We want this to go green.

-Oh, thank goodness!

-Well done. Lots of logical thinking.

-I love it, Lesley!

-Exactly right.

Zeus, you mentioned "cacophony" and bard being a singer

and he is actually a dreadful singer

and they're always trying to get him to shut up

and stop making such a racket.

The G8 political grouping became the G7 in 2014, following the suspension

of, not China, but Russia, for the annexation of Crimea.

And in official table tennis competitions,

the material on bats, not red and blue.

Zeus, you had this right as well, with red and black-sided bats.

Red and black.

Little bit of gambling there for you guys, but it was the right result,

and it means you get to choose another digit to put into the code.

4 has already gone. Nine left. Which one's it going to be?

-Continue in order. Number 5, please.

-Number 5, in the middle there.

Is number 5 in your code? Is it in the first box?

Is it in the second box?

It's not there. Is it in the third and final box?

It's not there, but we've counted 5 out of the equation as well.

Let's see what we get next. The next three answers, please.

OK, so newspapers, TV, hat, I would assume.

-Carry on as we've normally done.

-Do it in order, yeah.

In order from the top again. Let's see the question behind "The Sun".

-So, I know "sprechen" is "to speak".

-Yeah.

So is it "The Talk" or "The Speech" or something like that?

-"Der Spiegel".

-Oh, I don't know.

-Maybe let's just see.

-Yeah.

-We can move on?

-Yeah.

-The next one down?

-Yes, please.

Let's see the question behind "Crimewatch", please.

-That's got to be Neighbourhood Watch, surely.

-OK.

Crimewatch isn't a local crime prevention scheme, is it?

-That makes sense.

-Can we move onto "Bowler"?

Yes, let's get the full picture here.

Let's see the question behind "Bowler", please.

Is it a trilby? A bowler hat's...

-Oh, gosh.

-I would...

Personally, and this is going to be a difference of opinion,

-I'd be inclined to think that may be the one that's right.

-Really?

-Because...

-What does a derby hat look like?

I don't know but we don't have them here, do we?

What do you think it looks like? Cos if you...

-Do you know what a bowler hat looks like?

-Well, yeah.

OK, let's work under the assumption

-that we've eliminated the second one.

-OK.

We think that's incorrect.

-So, do you know any German?

-Well, I studied it at GSCE.

-Same as me.

-But I got a D.

-OK, not the same as me.

I know someone whose last name is Spiegelhalter

which, if that was true, would mean "sun stopper", presumably.

-I mean, that's a powerful name!

-But it doesn't really help.

I am happy to go with you because I don't think the first one is correct

and I agree with you on the second one, so I'm happy to go with you.

-Shall we go with it?

-And I won't be mad if it's wrong.

-Cool.

Tell me which one to lock in as the correct answer.

-"Bowler".

-Yeah, "Bowler".

We are going to lock in "Bowler"

as the correct answer.

So, we want it to be green

so you get to choose another digit.

Do Zeus and Dan know their hats?

-Oh.

-Well done.

Awesome. Well done.

Absolutely brilliant, Dan. Great work. Lesley.

In the UK, we call the hat a bowler,

as worn by Oddjob in James Bond, Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin.

And "Der Spiegel" is the name of a leading news magazine in Germany.

You had lots of information about this.

You knew that Spiegelhalter is a surname.

I think Spiegelhalter would be the base of the correct answer,

which is a "mirror".

And the local crime prevention scheme started in UK.

Dan, again, you had the right answer here,

as well as dismissing the wrong one, the Neighbourhood Watch.

Great work. You got the right answer

and that means you get to choose another digit to go into the code.

4 and 5, so far. What is next?

-Go with 6, might as well.

-Yeah.

-6.

Happy to go with 6. This is not bingo, you know that?

You don't get anything for a line.

But let's find out if it's there. Number 6, are you in the first box?

Not there. Is it in the second box?

It's not there. Is it in the final box of the code?

-It's not there. Shall we see your next three answers?

-Please.

Here we are, Zeus and Dan, your next three answers.

-In order?

-Start from the start, yeah, sure.

?Let's start at the top then.

Can we see the question behind "Cougars"?

-We both hate sport.

-Yeah.

-Have we found your Achilles heel here, Zeus?

-A little bit.

-Right, OK. Well, maybe the other two will help you.

-Shall we take "Returning Officer" next?

-Please.

-I feel like I've had heard of that if that was...

-Yeah.

-But then I might.

-I didn't follow the...

I don't really follow politics very well.

-Politics or sport, which is good.

-Yeah, yeah.

-Shall we do "Tick" anyway?

-Yes, please.

OK, it's not looking good for these subjects

but let's see if this one helps us.

The question behind "Tick", please.

-It seems logical it would be a tick.

-Yeah.

I can't see why it wouldn't be cos it's got a...

British Standards Institute.

It's not like, cos it's British, it's not a lion, is it?

They're not going to put a lion on everything.

On eggs they do, don't they? I think they put it on eggs.

There's some kind of stamp on eggs. That's not a lie.

-I don't know why I'm focussing on eggs right now.

-Um...

-We're not sure about any of them...

-No.

-..right now.

Going back to the top one.

To be fair, I can't think

of any other animal that has that "C" sound.

What if it's not alliterative?

But it says, "What animal...?"

It says "animal", not "alliterative animal".

Oh, I see what you mean.

So, nothing gained there. In elections,

I don't think it's the returning officer.

I have nothing to base that on.

"Oversees the processes of the election and announces the results."

You don't think the person who "returns" the results

could be the "returning officer"?

No, I don't think it's that.

Yeah, I would agree with that just because I feel

like one of the other two is more likely to be correct.

We are looking for that one correct answer.

-What do you think?

-I would go with the top one

because I want to go with your answer

cos if you feel like that's more...

I'm not saying it's your answer,

I'm not trying to blame you, but we have no idea.

I've talked myself out of number two

and I want to go with Castleford Cougars with you.

-OK. Yeah, let's go with that. Let's lock that in.

-Happy to lock that in?

Castleford Cougars.

We're locking in "Cougars" as a correct answer.

If it is correct,

we get the chance to enter another digit into the code.

At the moment, there aren't any up there at all.

We want "Cougars"

to be a correct answer.

If it isn't, I'm afraid, gentlemen, that is the end of it.

-Oh!

-I'm so sorry.

-Ha.

-I'm so sorry.

-I bet it's the second one.

OK, let's find out which was the correct answer.

-Oh!

-"Returning officer". Lesley, talk us through those.

Oh, you even said the returning officer could be someone

who returns the results and that's exactly right.

They return the results of the election.

The animal that completes the name of the Rugby League team,

not the Castleford Cougars, but the Tigers.

There is a professional Rugby League team called the Cougars -

the Keighley Cougars.

And the mark that the British Standards Institute uses.

You ran through a couple of options for this.

I heard you mention the lion mark a couple of times.

That is, as you said, on eggs.

The correct answer here, not tick, but the kite mark.

Well, what can I say, gentlemen?

You just came up against subjects that you knew nothing about.

-Mmm-hmm.

-You did the very best you could

to squeeze out the right answer but you just missed it.

However, it has been fantastic watching you play.

It's great to see. You're clearly very good friends.

But, Zeus and Dan, unfortunately, you've been unable to break the code

and that means, on this occasion, we have to say goodbye to you.

-Lovely to meet you.

-You too.

-Very gentlemanly.

-Cheers.

Clearly, bright boys,

but it doesn't help if the subjects aren't your subjects.

Their loss, however, is our next contestants' gain

because the jackpot goes up by £500,

so let's meet the next team hoping to crack the code.

Sam and Clare, how are you? Lovely to see you. Nice to meet you.

-Nice to meet you.

-Right, so this is what I know.

You're both from Essex, originally,

-but, Clare, you're now in Cornwall, is that right?

-That's right.

You weren't trying to get away from Sam?

What took you down there?

The love of the outdoors and it's just stunning.

-Well, a good place to be. How do you know each other?

-We're sisters.

Right, sisters, sometimes they can be close, sometimes not so close.

Do you guys get on very well?

There's a lot of distance between you, geographically.

Yeah, we get on really well, yeah,

and I think we're going to work well together as a team.

We have different strengths and we trust each other, very much so.

If Clare thinks she knows the answer, I'll back her 100%.

I thought you were going to say, "If Clare knows the answer,

-"I'll tell her she's wrong."

-That might happen.

-OK, so, Sam, you have a nickname, I believe.

-Yoda.

-They call you Yoda.

-Yes.

-A small green man.

-Small is right.

My family nickname me Yoda because I am old and small and wise.

All good stuff. We wish you all the very best.

-Zeus and Dan, who came before you, failed, unfortunately for them.

-Oh.

Well, you say that but it's good for you

because it means another £500 goes into the safe,

making a total of £3,500 there,

for you to win.

Let's reset the code.

OK, three blanks. We need to make those into three numbers,

at which point, the door opens and it's all yours.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Yep.

-Sisters, your first three answers.

Where do you want to start?

-Start at the top?

-Yeah.

-Omega, please.

A lot of people do it that way.

Let's open the question behind "Omega".

-I think this might be right.

-Yeah.

Feeling pretty confident.

Let's see the other two though.

We don't want to jump in.

-In order?

-Yes, please.

-Let's open the question behind "Judi Dench".

-Miranda Richardson.

-Yeah.

-That's wrong.

-We feel that might be a wrong answer.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Finally, the question behind "Copenhagen".

I would have said that might have been Reykjavik.

For Iceland.

Which is further north, I think,

than Denmark, so...

I want to take our time

cos we don't want to jump in

but, instinctively, I want to say that the first...

Alpha and omega. It's the first and last letters

of the Greek alphabet, I'm sure.

Shall we go with the first one?

-"Omega".

-Yeah.

-Agreed?

-Agreed.

You want to lock in "Omega"

as your correct answer?

-Yes, please, Matt.

-Let's do that.

We want that to turn green. We want that to be the correct answer,

giving you a chance to put a digit into the code.

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Yes, brilliant. You were so certain and yet so relieved.

-Yes.

-Lesley.

-Clare, you remembered

that alpha and omega were the first and last letters

of the Greek alphabet, leading you to the correct answer.

In the second series of Blackadder, who played Queen Elizabeth I?

Clare, you came out straightaway with Miranda Richardson,

playing the fickle Queenie,

who says she likes to get squiffy and seduce nobles.

And the world's most northerly capital city

of an independent country.

Sam, you said the right answer pretty quickly. It's Reykjavik.

Nuuk in Greenland is further north

-but that's not an independent country.

-Thank you, Lesley.

Ladies, a very assured start there, not just spotting the wrong answers

but giving us the right ones as well.

No bonus points for that but it does mean

you get to choose your first digit from the code. There they are.

Three unique numbers up there and a keypad that goes from 0 to 9.

Ten possibilities. Which one do you want to go with first?

-Number 3, please.

-Number 3. Is it in our code today?

Let's find out if it's in the first box.

It's not there. Is number 3 in the second box?

Is number 3 in the final box?

It's not there. If you're ready, Sam and Clare,

-shall we see your next three answers?

-Yep.

-Please.

-Here we go.

-Ooh.

-OK.

-Any order you like.

-Start at the top again, Matt.

Let's do that. Let's see the question behind "Ring".

I thought Ang Lee was Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

but it doesn't mean it's 2000 and...

It doesn't mean that he didn't do

-a film called Ring, so that's...

-OK.

-Not sure.

-Shall we move on and have a look at the next one?

-Please.

Let's see the question behind "Bing", please.

It's correct. It's Chandler Bing.

-Is it def...?

-Yeah.

-You do the TV.

Chandler Bing. But let's...

-Obviously, we need to see number three.

-OK, so you think number two.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Let's look at the question behind "Ming".

-OK, Ming was definitely a Chinese dynasty.

-Much earlier.

But I think it was much earlier

because I know that the Ming vases are worth,

you know, huge sums of money, and I think if it was as recent as that,

they maybe wouldn't be as valuable.

-But...

-And I'm pretty sure

that it's Chandler Bing.

Hang on, is Bing definitely a search engine?

It's not some other sort of internet thing?

Would you definitely classify it as a search engine?

I'm pretty sure but now you're making me doubt myself.

And we haven't heard of Ring as a film, have we?

And Ang Lee, for me, is just Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

It doesn't mean there wasn't a film called Ring.

-Shall we go with number two?

-Oh, hang on a second.

What's the film...? There is a film called The Ring.

-But it's called The Ring.

-And it wasn't a foreign language film.

-It was a horror film.

-Was it?

-Yeah. I'm doubting... It's "Bing".

All right, let's not try and talk ourselves out of it.

Let's go with "Bing".

We're going to lock in "Bing" as our correct answer.

Yes, please.

We need "Bing" to be, not only an internet search engine,

but also the surname of a character from Friends.

If it is, the chance to choose another digit to try in the code.

If it's not correct,

then we are going to our respective corners of the country.

Make "Bing" go green. Let's see "Bing" as the correct answer.

-Yes!

-Good stuff.

Thank you, Lesley.

Clare, remembering that Chandler Bing was in Friends helped you

towards the correct answer here.

Bing also the Microsoft search engine

and the character, a rabbit, in children's TV.

The film from 2000, directed by Ang Lee,

which won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film -

again, Clare, you led the way with this one,

remembering that Ang Lee directed Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

You also remembered the horror film The Ring.

That was an American remake of an earlier Japanese film from 1998.

The Ring, the American one, Ring, the Japanese film.

The last imperial dynasty of China, ruling from 1644 to 1912.

You said Ming much earlier than that. You're absolutely right.

The Ming dynasty ruled from the 14th century

until the Ching dynasty took over in 1644.

Thank you, Lesley. Really good knowledge there.

Nearly started turning the corner

into talking yourself out of the correct answer

but stopped in your tracks and said, "Hold on, I think we know this."

So, let's have a look where that leaves us.

The chance to choose another digit. 3's gone. Nine others remain.

-Which one's next?

-0, please.

We're going to have a look and find out if 0 is in our code.

Is it in the first box?

No. Is it in the second box?

It's not there. Is it in the third box?

No. We have no 0,

but we do have a game that's still operating at its easiest stage,

giving you the best chance of answering these questions.

-That's a good thing.

-Yeah.

-OK. Let's see your next three answers.

-From the top?

-Yes, please.

OK. Let's have a look at the question behind "Chelsea".

-I don't think so.

-Oh...

-Chelsea's nickname is the Blues.

I don't know about The Invincibles.

Well, I think there was a team

that finished unbeaten,

but was it Chelsea?

I don't know. Not sure.

-Don't think so, but not 100%.

-OK.

Let's look at the question behind "Hamster".

Maybe that'll help us.

-I think they're types of rabbit, aren't they?

-I don't know.

-I know you can get...

-Dwarf rabbits.

-..dwarf rabbits. Again, not sure.

Don't think so, but not 100% again.

OK, maybe if we have a look behind the last one

-that'll give us some clues.

-I hope so.

No, that's not right.

-Saag is...

-Is spinach.

So, I think we can rule out number three,

so that means number one or number two has to be right.

-I'm drawn to hamster.

-I'm drawn to Chelsea.

OK, we could be falling out here, sis.

-Let's not do that.

-Can you get a Syrian hamster,

Chinese hamster?

Campbell's Dwarf hamster.

-Is sport one of those areas you were hoping to avoid?

-Yeah, I...

Well, I know that Chelsea's nickname is the Blues

and I didn't know they had another one,

so that's why I'm drawn to hamster

because I didn't know Chelsea had another nickname.

But I expect they were just called that after that season.

I don't think any team's called that now.

But they're not still called it.

You don't refer to Chelsea as The Invincibles.

They'd have only had that nickname for a season.

I'm just hoping it wasn't Arsenal,

otherwise everybody in my house

is going to be screaming at the TV!

Even if Chelsea did win the Premier League season

in that year, I just don't think that was their nickname.

I might be proved wrong in a minute but I would like to go "Hamster".

I reckon that might be Arsenal, the top one.

-Let's go "Hamster" then, on that basis.

-Let's go "Hamster".

-Absolutely sure?

-No, we're not 100%.

-As sure as you can be, under the circumstances?

-Yes.

-Absolutely.

Let's lock in "Hamster" as a correct answer.

We want that just so your family don't go mad at you

and that "Hamster" is the correct answer. We want that to go green.

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Well done! Talk about dodging a bullet.

-Right, Lesley.

-Well done, Clare, on the "Hamster" answer there.

You mentioned rabbits early on but then eventually steered back

towards the correct answer, "Hamster".

Syrian hamsters also called golden hamsters,

the most common type you find in pet stores.

The 2003/ 2004 Premier League season.

Which team finished unbeaten?

Yes, Sam, everyone IS shouting at home, because it's the Gunners,

it is Arsenal, rather than Chelsea who, yes, are known as the Blues.

And in Indian cuisine, the literal translation of the word "balti" -

Sam, you were very quick on this one to say,

"No, spinach, I know that one. That's saag." Absolutely right.

-The correct answer is "bucket".

-Bucket. Balti means bucket.

-Phew.

You saved yourself a lot of embarrassment

-and heartache at home there.

-Yes.

-Well done, Sam, well done, Clare.

Took a little while to get there but we've bought ourselves

another chance to put a digit into the code.

3 is gone, 0 is gone. What are we going to have next?

-Number 9, please, Matt.

-Number 9.

Let's see if number 9 is in our code. Is it in the first box?

It's not there. Is it in the second?

It isn't there. Is it in the third and final box?

-There is no number 9.

-That's OK. We don't want it to get any harder.

-Are you ready for your next three questions?

-Yes, please.

-From the top again, please.

-Let's see the question behind "Spider".

-He's a mouse.

-Definitely.

-He's in his hat.

Ah, OK, we feel very sure about that one.

Let's see the question behind "Gums".

I think I know this because I've always suffered from nosebleeds

and I think "epistaxis" is the medical name for nosebleeds,

so I think it would be your nose that would be bleeding.

-You think that could be not "Gums"?

-Yep.

-Shall we have a look

-at the last question behind "India"?

-Please.

I don't know that the Indian

space probe was called that.

But we're ruling out the other two.

Well, number one is definitely wrong

and I'm fairly certain about number two,

so if you're happy, I'd like to go with number three.

I do remember, vaguely,

something about India putting something into space.

-Go for "India", Matt.

-Yeah, "India".

We're going to lock in "India"

as our correct answer. It's a chance

to put another number into that code

but, to do that, this has to be the correct answer.

-Yes!

-It IS the correct answer. Well done again. Lesley.

Absolutely right. India's Mars orbiter mission,

getting a probe into the orbit in September, 2014.

And in the Disney film Dumbo, the kind of animal.

You knew this straightaway, both of you.

Absolutely right he is a mouse - Timothy Q Mouse - not a spider.

And Sam, you were very confident. A personal link with this question.

Epistaxis is the nose.

So, a nosebleed is what you would be suffering from,

if you had epistaxis. Absolutely right.

Now, we are scaling the giddy heights here,

-looking for a fourth number. Which one next?

-Number 1, please.

We're going to go for number 1. Is it in the first box of the code?

-It is.

-Oh, it is.

-Right, so we have our first number in the code.

It also means that we're onto the next stage of the game,

where things do become more difficult.

As before, you see all three answers, but now,

you can only see the questions behind two of them at a time

before you have to commit and discard one as wrong.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Here are your next three answers.

"English Channel". I know the first person who swam it was Captain Webb

and I know what it's called in French,

so if either of those two are the questions, it'll be all right.

-Shall we do "English Channel"?

-OK.

Let's have a look at the question

behind "English Channel".

It wouldn't take that long

to fly over the English Channel.

It depends what they're flying in.

It would have to be a very, very slow plane for it to take 16 hours.

It's only about 26 miles, is it?

Or am I thinking of the marathon?

But, yeah,

I think that's quite a long time.

-But we can see another answer.

-You can.

You can see another question

before you have to commit

and get rid of one.

What do you want to pick?

Shall we go top to bottom again?

-Yeah, OK.

-We'll just go for "North Korea".

-OK.

Let's see the question behind "North Korea".

I...

I know that North Korea has...

very tight controls on its media.

Whether they're even allowed

to watch Western films.

I know they don't have access

to the internet.

I'd be surprised if that was right.

I don't think either of those are right, so I really don't know.

But I'm less sure that "North Korea" is right.

Are you saying you'd like

to discard "North Korea"?

No, sorry, I'd like to discard "English Channel" as being less....

16 hours.

What else could they have flown over for 16 hours

if it wasn't the English Channel?

Like the Atlantic or the Pacific

or something?

Yeah. OK, shall we discard

-"English Channel"?

-Yeah, please.

Let's discard "English Channel".

You want to lose that

as an incorrect answer.

We want that to go red.

We want that to be an incorrect answer, so we can get rid of it,

open up Andromeda, see what's there

and make a decision. If it's a correct answer,

it does mean that's the end of the game.

-Yeah.

-Sudden death, it's all over.

-Yes!

-Well done.

Well done. Lesley.

Your instincts with this were absolutely right.

That would be a very, very long time for crossing the Channel.

In fact, the first Channel crossing in an aeroplane

was by Louis Bleriot in 1909 and that took under 40 minutes,

so 16 hours and 12 minutes would have been a very, very slow attempt.

-The correct answer here is the Atlantic.

-Thank you, Lesley.

It means we get to discard that

as a wrong answer.

It leaves us with two and we can see

the question now behind "Andromeda".

That was Echo, so I know that that's wrong.

-You feel absolutely certain about that?

-I'm really confident.

I'm much more confident that that's correct than the other one.

Are you happy to go with that?

So "Andromeda" is wrong so, therefore, "North Korea" is right.

Yes.

THEY LAUGH

-She's very certain. Do you trust your sister?

-I do, yes, I do.

-OK.

-The correct answer is "North Korea".

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-I'm locking that in

as the correct answer.

If it turns green, we get the chance to pick

another number to go into the code. Is the correct answer "North Korea"?

Yes!

Absolutely brilliant.

As soon as that came up, you knew it, didn't you, Sam? Lesley.

Yes, Bend It Like Beckham was shown in North Korea

on the 26th December, 2010.

Eight minutes of the film were cut for reasons that we don't know.

Looking at the question about Greek mythology,

the nymph cursed so she could only repeat

the last word spoken by someone else,

exactly as Sam said, that is Echo not Andromeda.

Were you relieved when that came up?

Yes, very relieved.

Yep, absolutely, put it in its place and buys you the chance, now,

to choose another number to go into the code.

-Where are you going to go next?

-Number 4, please.

Let's see if number 4 is there in the code. Is it in that second box?

It's not there. Is it there in the final box of the code?

No, there is no 4 in the code.

But, once again, we're knocking those numbers out of contention.

Only five left. If you're ready, let's see the next three answers.

Catatonia - Cerys Matthews, Welsh...

I don't know much about velvet.

I've travelled round Australia, um,

-and it's a film with Nicole Kidman in it.

-And Hugh Jackman.

-So, we have to pick two, don't we, so shall we pick the top two?

-Yeah.

-Seeing as we know a bit about them?

-Yeah.

OK, let's have a look

at the question behind "Catatonia".

I don't THINK it's right,

but I suppose it possibly could be.

I really feel that I would know that

-if that were right.

-OK.

But let's not discount it.

-Shall we see the second one?

-Yes.

OK, let's have a look at the question behind "Australia".

I think they were in our World Cup group. I'm not a rugby fan.. Um...

What we're looking for is one to discard here.

-I think we've got to discard the "Catatonia".

-Yeah.

-Agreed?

-Yeah.

-We're going to discard "Catatonia".

-OK.

How confident are you about that?

-Ish.

-Ish. We're working on the basis

of an "ish".

We're going to say that "Catatonia"

is an incorrect answer.

If it's a correct answer, then I'm afraid

we have to say goodbye.

-Yes!

-Well done. Good stuff. Lesley.

Yes, your instincts were bang on with this one.

"Catatonia" not the right answer.

The lead singer of Catatonia, Cerys Matthews.

-The actor Rhys Ifans was a member of the Super Furry Animals.

-Oh.

When he was a young man,

he was nicknamed the "wildest man in North Wales".

Wow, that's something to live up to as well.

That means we can get rid of that answer as an incorrect answer.

It leaves us with two

and we can have a look at the question behind "Velvet".

-I have heard of the Velvet Revolution.

-So have I.

But I don't know if it was to do with the Czechoslovakian revolution.

Was it in Czechoslovakia and was it in 1989?

But I have also heard of a Velvet Revolution.

We might be getting into rock, paper, scissors territory here.

Um, can we think of any teams that WERE in England's group?

-Were there four teams in the group?

-My mind's gone blank.

-I can't remember any of it.

-Which one do you want to discard?

Shall we discard Australia?

Only because I've heard of the Velvet Revolution.

It may not have anything to do with Czechoslovakia but...

-I don't know.

-I don't know either. This is going to be a bit...

-I think we're skating on thin ice here.

-Yeah.

We're looking to lock in the correct answer.

-Shall we discard "Australia"?

-So our correct answer is "Velvet"?

-Yeah.

-OK, yeah.

-We're going to lock in "Velvet".

Let's lock in "Velvet"

as the correct answer.

We want that to go green.

It gives us a chance to choose another digit to put into the code.

Please let "Velvet" be a correct answer.

-Yes!

-Oh, yes!

-Fantastic!

Bit of a flyer. Lesley.

Absolutely right. So-called because it was a soft transition of power.

And England drawn in the same group as which country? Not Australia.

You were talking about whether they were in the same group,

whether you remembered any other teams in the same group.

The correct answer is Uruguay.

England lost to them in football but beat them in the rugby.

Thank you, Lesley. Wow, what a relief that must be.

-Yes!

-OK, let's choose another digit.

-7, please.

-7.

Is the number 7 in the code? Is it in the second box?

It's not in the second box.

Is in the third and final box of the code?

It is. So, the number 7 is part of your code.

It leaves just one square remaining to fill.

KLAXON SIGNALS TIME HAS RUN OUT

Only four numbers and yeah, that sound means

we have to stop right there, when you're doing so well.

Let's hope you can carry on in the same vein.

-Lesley, thank you so much for today.

-You're very welcome.

And please be sure to join us next time when Sam and Clare return

and we find out if they have what it takes to crack the code

and win £3,500. Thanks for watching. Goodbye.
