0:00:21 > 0:00:24Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Hello. The Greek poet Archilochus wrote that
0:00:31 > 0:00:35"The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing".
0:00:35 > 0:00:37We're hoping to see foxes tonight,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40as two teams compete for a place in the second round.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Hedgehogs might also get to play again,
0:00:42 > 0:00:44if their score is high enough.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47St George's is a medical college of the University of London.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50It was established in 1733 on Hyde Park Corner,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52but is now based in Tooting,
0:00:52 > 0:00:56and is one of the largest and oldest medical schools in the UK.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59It shares its campus with the buildings of St George's Hospital,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02so during lectures, students will often hear the sound of patients
0:01:02 > 0:01:04being trolleyed to their wards and consultants
0:01:04 > 0:01:08schedule their lectures around their daily surgeries.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Its alumni include Henry Grey, author of The Anatomy -
0:01:11 > 0:01:14the medical manual, that is, not the TV series - Edward Jenner,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine, and the comedian Harry Hill.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22With an average age of 23 and representing around 3,000 students,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25let's meet the St George's team.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Now, King's College, Cambridge was founded in 1441 by Henry VI,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and began life as The King's College of Our Lady and St Nicholas
0:01:53 > 0:01:57for a Provost and 70 scholars from Eton, but those days are long gone.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Its world-renowned architecture may be one reason that students seem
0:02:00 > 0:02:03to have some difficulty in tearing themselves away from the place.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06The mediaevalist and author of ghost stories MR James
0:02:06 > 0:02:10was a student there, and later became a Fellow and then its Provost.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Alan Turing was also a student and later a Fellow,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and EM Forster, another former undergraduate,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18was elected an honorary Fellow in 1946,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and hardly budged from the place for the rest of his life.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Representing around 700 students,
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and with an average age of 20, let's meet the King's team.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Hi, I'm James Gratrex, I'm from Leeds, and I'm reading Physics.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50APPLAUSE
0:02:55 > 0:02:58OK. It's too tedious to recite the rules, so let's just get on with it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Here's your first starter for ten.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03"They resisted to the last, with their swords,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07"if they had them, and, if not, with their hands and teeth."
0:03:07 > 0:03:10These words of Herodotus described the defeated Spartans

0:03:18 > 0:03:21You're the one non-classicist on that team!

0:03:27 > 0:03:30was originally a sweet, solid, quince jelly,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34flavoured by rosewater and musk or ambergris, and cut into squares for eating?

0:03:54 > 0:03:55Italy?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- Yeah, that's what I'd say. Unless it's Portugal. Italy.- Italy?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01No, it's Portugal.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03The fruit Citrus aurantium, now most commonly used
0:04:03 > 0:04:07in the manufacture of marmalade, is commonly known by what name?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- It's bitter orange, I think. - Just orange.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Orange? Bitter orange? Oh, no.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Bitter orange I will accept. It's Seville orange, yes.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Right, ten points for this starter question.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Its name derived from an Arabic word meaning coastal,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27and originally written in Arabic script,

0:04:30 > 0:04:33and is an official language of Kenya and Tanzania?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Is it Swahili?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It is, yes.

0:05:27 > 0:05:31"It is not necessary to invoke God to light the blue touch paper
0:05:31 > 0:05:33"and set the universe going."
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Who made that claim in his 2010 book...

0:06:42 > 0:06:43Texas?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45No, it's Colorado. Another starter question, now.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Having its origins as an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire,
