0:00:19 > 0:00:23University Challenge. Asking the questions -

0:00:23 > 0:00:24Jeremy Paxman.

0:00:28 > 0:00:32Hello, tonight's match is between two Cambridge colleges

0:00:32 > 0:00:35who emerged among the walking wounded from round one.

0:00:35 > 0:00:37Although each lost their first contest,

0:00:37 > 0:00:40they did so with scores higher than some winning totals in other games.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Whichever team wins tonight will take the final place

0:00:43 > 0:00:45in the second round.

0:00:45 > 0:00:48The team from Homerton College Cambridge were defeated

0:00:48 > 0:00:50rather convincingly in their first round match

0:00:50 > 0:00:54with 145 points against the 230 of New College Oxford

0:00:54 > 0:00:55but, even so, they impressed us

0:00:55 > 0:00:58with their knowledge of the Fibonacci sequence,

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Arabic calligraphy

0:00:59 > 0:01:02and how much the names of capital cities would be worth

0:01:02 > 0:01:05it they were allowed in the game of Scrabble.
