0:05:05 > 0:05:09Right, your bonuses this time, UCL, are on garden birds.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15In each case, give the common name of the bird from the binomial and the description of its call.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Firstly, Parus major, whose distinctive two-syllable song
0:05:19 > 0:05:23has been compared to the phrase, "Teacher, teacher" repeated at high speed,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25or to the sound of a bicycle pump?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I can imagine a cuckoo sounding a bit like that.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yeah? All right, then.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36- What are you thinking?- Say cuckoo, but if it's a thrush...
0:05:36 > 0:05:39No, we'll say thrush, we'll say thrush. Thrush is funnier.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40Thrush?

0:05:42 > 0:05:43Secondly, Prunella modularis,

0:05:48 > 0:05:51sometimes likened to a squeaking trolley wheel?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56I don't know. Birds? Starling?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Starling's a bird.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- You could try finch. - OK, finch.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Finch.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06No, it's a dunnock, or hedge sparrow.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Finally, for a possible five, although unlikely, I admit,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Fringilla coelebs, whose alarm call is an insistent "pink, pink" sound,
0:06:14 > 0:06:15its song sounds like the phrase,
0:06:15 > 0:06:20"Chip, chip, chip, chewy, chewy, chew."
0:06:20 > 0:06:22I think I hate birds!
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Nightingales in literature kind of sound a bit like what he said.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41"Man cannot make principles, he can only discover them."
0:06:41 > 0:06:46These are the words of which thinker in the 1784 work, The Age Of Reason?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Thomas Mann?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53No. Anyone want to buzz from Worcester?

0:07:01 > 0:07:06What is the formula for the rate of conversion of electrical to thermal energy
0:07:06 > 0:07:11in a resistor with resistance R in a circuit with current I flowing through it?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- I squared R?- If you put that as an equation, what would you say?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Something equals?
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Oh, P equals I squared R. - Exactly. OK.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Right, your bonuses now are on a science.

0:07:49 > 0:07:55which warm ocean current enters the Atlantic through the Straits of Florida at around 30 sverdrups?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56That would be Gulf Stream.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Gulf Stream?- Correct.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01A global system of ocean currents called the thermohaline circulation
0:08:01 > 0:08:04is driven by differences in temperature
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and in the concentration of what constituent of seawater?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Salt?- Correct. A picture round now.

0:10:40 > 0:10:45A single variation involves the skater making one-and-a-half revolutions in the air.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Do we know anything other than triple Axel?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- No. Vasquez is...- Sorry?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54It could be a single Axel, if there is a variation where you do three turns.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Did you have an idea before I said anything?- No.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19and landing on the rear outside edge of the opposite skate.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Could it be a pirouette?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Do they do that in figure skating?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Presumably. I've no idea.- OK.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28A pirouette.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29No, that's a Salchow.
